You Said It

 Another success story from APSS member Denise M. Baran-Unland: My team and I have not only learned practical tips that actually work, we've learned the strategies that make them work. Since 2020, we have learned more through (APSS) than through all other sources combined - ever since I started writing my first book in 2008. And we have increased our sales every year because of it.

  • I've also received several invitations to speak this year and sold books at every event.
  • A local TV station has contacted me to schedule an interview.
  • I have one corporation that is potentially interested in purchasing books in bulk.
  • I have a presentation scheduled with a government agency in early 2024, the result of a successful meeting with its board chair.

Special Sales Tip of the Day: March 18, 2024

If you do what you always did, you’ll get what you always got. If you are satisfied with the sales you currently have, do more of what you have been doing. If not, try something else, like selling to non-bookstore buyers.

They Said It

In his book “Hit Makers: Why Thing Become Popular,” author Derek Thompson offers a formula for creating a bestselling book. Readers “love and crave new stuff even as they fear it. The trick is to find the sweet spot that cleaves to enough convention that it appeals to a core audience while offering something surprising.” He calls this an “aesthetic aha.”
