Author Interview

Q. What was your motivation to write Sales & Fails?

A. After failing for years at marketing my books—and wasting tons of time and money—I said enough is enough! I needed to find a better way to market my books and get out of the red and into the black. I needed to figure out how to sell my book on Amazon and have successful book launches, stat.

Q: So did you succeed? Do you sell more books now?

A: Yes! I'm still holding on to the day job, but then again, it was never my goal to become a full-time author. I wanted to write a few books and not lose money on the venture. I now sell more kindle books and also books in stores without much effort!

Q: What qualifies you to write a book marketing book?

A: I've marketed my other books, Chronicle of the Mound Builders and Living the Thin Life, with varying levels of success. Or, more specifically, I totally failed the first few years, but more recently have started to make a profit. And, more importantly, I've learned where to spend my time and where NOT to spend my time so that I'm only doing things that work and that I enjoy. It's self-publishing 101: make more money than you spend, and enjoy what you do!

Q: Will your book marketing tips work for me?

A: I hope so! At the very least, I hope I can provide a few laughs and steer you away from techniques that don't work and help you figure out what will sell your books.

Q: Why should readers pick this book instead of the hundreds of other books promising to make me a best-selling author overnight?

A: I'd like to think my humorous approach about everything I did wrong will be an enjoyable read for authors wondering how to market your book. I hope my book marketing tips help you stop wasting time and start making money. I can't promise overnight success—no one can—but I can promise to share helpful tips (and funny fails) so you know where to spend your time and where NOT to spend your time. Book marketing for authors isn't easy, but it doesn't have to be hard either!

Biografía del autor:

Elle Marie's books are diverse but all have one thing in common—they reflect her passions. From maintaining a healthy lifestyle (Living the Thin Life) to unearthing mysteries (Chronicle of the Mound Builders) to visiting her daughter in Paris (contributor to the anthology That's Paris), she writes what she knows and loves. Her most recent book, Sales and Fails, is a humorous account of all the struggles she encountered marketing her first three books, peppered with a few success stories as well.

She's never far from her computer; by day she works in the IT field, by night she writes her latest inspiration. When she does step away from the screen, she enjoys spending time with her husband in their hometown of St. Louis.
