• Boost book sales with public presentations
Many book authors are happy to simply do what they enjoy most, which is write. You also have to promote your published books, though, and a time-honored way of doing so is by making presentations, such as signings and readings, at bookstores or other businesses that might carry your titles.
• Weigh cons of a book presentation against pros
While readings, signings and other public presentations are a great way to promote your book, they aren’t always the best way to increase sales. Before deciding to give a presentation, always balance the cons against the potential benefits.
• Potential locations for book presentations
Once you’ve decided that a public presentation is a good way to promote your book, you’ll need to find some spots to hold your event. Identifying those locales can help you determine what kind of presentation (book signing, topical presentation, etc.) you’ll make and place you on the path for contacting the right people to set up such an event.
• Use various kinds of presentations to pitch book
Public presentations are a great way for authors to sell their books. Usually such presentations allow you to get publicity for the event, meaning that those attending usually have a strong interest in your book’s topic. Such a captive audience can be introduced to other books you’ve written, increasing sales of your older titles.
• How to arrange a public book reading/signing
Just because you’ve published a book, don’t expect to get invitations to do book readings. You’ll have to arrange them yourself. The good news is you’ll find a lot of venues will be willing to have your speak.
• Avoid these flubs when seeking book signing
Setting up a book reading/signing requires a little salesmanship and diplomacy. That’s why you don’t want to make these two mistakes.
