Sample idea: Selling on location
- the beach
Where does everyone go on bank holidays and hot summer weekends?
The beach. And
what do people do on beaches? Read books. Perfect! So fill
your car with books, make a
tray with some shoulder straps you can wear, and walk up and
down the beach selling
your books. Return to your car to restock your tray from time
to time.
It's good exercise, gets you out
in the sun, and if you pick the right beach you should be
able to sell a lot of books, day after day.
Non-fiction books are usually the easiest
type of books for self-publishers to sell, but
novels are likely to be the most popular with this market.
It's good to present buyers with a (very
small) choice, so if you've only written one novel
you might like to get together with other self-publishers
and sell their novels alongside
yours. They can do the same for you in return, and cover
other beaches. It's also good to
have books for a range of ages (children and teenagers
as well as adults) and a range of
genres (chick lit, thrillers, mysteries, romances, and
so on).
If you don't know any other self-publishers,
get to work on your next novel as soon as
you can - hopefully you'll have another one ready
to sell by next summer.
