After publishing my initial book on amazon, I got a ton of great feedback from the members here and one of the comments were that I should write what people want first. So my second project is starting out pretty good so far. My process so far is:
I'll keep you posted.
- Find out what the niche is that I want to target. - This is ongoing but I've decided to give Romance a go. - Free!
- Get blurbs and book titles and test out what sells. ie. pre-orders. - I enlisted the help from freelance ghostwriters and got a list of book blurbs and titles. This was very cheap ~$50 for 5 blurbs. If I had any imagination at all, I probably could've saved $50 haha
- Create book covers using canva - Free!
- Create the listings on amazon and set it up for pre-orders. - Free!
- Advertise the listings and see what sells. - Amazon was nice enough to give me $100 to advertise for free So after I created the pre-order books I started to create advertising campaigns. - Free!
- Monitor the ads. - From the ads, I've been able to see the interest in the books via the CTR, I've also had some pre-orders come through (bonus)!
- Choose the best performing books to publish. - Once my advertising run is over, I'll choose the 1 or 2 best performing books and enlist the original ghostwriter to write the books.
I'll keep you posted.
