Ok!

you are already an author or probably you are thinking of being one here in Nigeria.Then you need to understand these tips inorder to avoid the danger of dumping or even dashing your books.

Here then are 10 tips that will significantly improve your chances of becoming a bestselling author:

1. Pick your niche.

This is probably one of the greatest sin of Nigerian authors.Most of us lack the ability to stick to niche not just anyone but profitable niche.People don't buy from you except you are being perceived as an expert in a field.So for those of us,who write about so many motivational books(no bad feelings).

Is your book targeted to a particular niche?

Just narrow down to minimium.

.
2. Start planning well ahead of the release.

What are your marketing plans?
I mean what do you intend to be doing between now and the very day your final works will be out from your publisher?

You can see most Nigerian authors just believe in Miracles.No products sells without marketing and if you are still depend on your bookstore or anyother person then you are doomed to face "BookDumping"
Just hatch out about 8months of active book marketing plans into the very day,your book will drop in the marketplace.
