Pick a Media Friendly Genre, Sell More Books - 3 minutes read




Authors write book publicity for more reasons than it's possible to list. But for those who want to earn income and go with a safe bet, some nonfiction genres are appealing. Self-help, personal finance, cooking or dieting, and fitness are among potential book topics that have an easy time making news. The media and online media have screens, shows, and issues to fill, and books make excellent story subjects. You'll be covered when your book takes an interesting angle or makes a proclamation about a hot topic. As a result, if you're a profit-minded author, think carefully about the genre and your book's subject.


As you write your book, consider target readers and its newsworthiness. Facts and data always make news and research-based information. The more built-in news hooks you maintain, the better the chances it will receive coverage. Taking a surprising or appropriately controversial view of a topic also helps you get attention. People are interested in novel views of well-understood topics, and new theories win followers and acclaim from many authors. You're halfway there when you can find a topic with broad appeal to your target readers. When there is a buzz about your book, it will sell copies.


It's not hard to understand why self-help is media and reader-friendly. For the book's price, they give helpful advice and information to improve people's lives. Many authors also leverage the celebrity they gain from their books to launch products or offer services in their areas of expertise. Readers quickly make the connection between the author and the products and have an interest. Sometimes, the products are used in ways promoted or suggested by the book. The cross-promotional opportunities are essential to consider, and you can revitalize or create new interest in a category of products you can sell.


Many nonfiction authors also write books to promote their businesses as much as to sell copies. For them, the value of the PR opportunity far outweighs the time and expense of producing the book. Some may also give away copies as premium items or thank-you gifts to clients or subscribers. Writing a media-friendly book to maximize coverage helps achieve the objective in those cases. Before you begin writing, researching and analyzing other successful books in your genre may be helpful. It can give you ideas or inspire how you will take the topic further in a way that interests target readers.
