Are You Wasting Money, Marketing a Flop?
Course Description:
In the digital, million-book market, “writing well” is no longer sufficient. To succeed, you must understand your market and how to reach buyers. Otherwise, you’ll be wasting time and money, promoting a flop.
Whether you want to self-publish, or whether you plan to sell to a publisher, you must understand the Romance business before you write Chapter One.
For instance, do you know:
-
- How your subgenre differs from the other seven in the Romance industry (so you can market your book effectively?)
- The 8 Plot Taboos that are guaranteed to kill your sale?
- The “shelf-life” of a Romance at brick-and-mortar stores? (And why “shelf-life” is important to your income?)
- Why a publisher’s book club can rob you of royalties?
- Which subgenres sell better in ebook than print? (And therefore, where you should be concentrating your marketing dollars?)
Welcome to your “crash course” on the business of writing Commercial Romance Novels.
Course Length:
This is a video course with self-paced exercises. Allow at least 4 hours to complete the course at your leisure. Once you purchase the class, you will have access to its materials for 6 months. (Graduates are eligible for discounts on private coaching.)
