I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's okay to:

-Write in books that you own.
-Buy more books than you'll ever read.
-Read whatever books that interest you.
-Quit bad books to make room for brilliant ones.
-Read books in all formats (print, ebook, audiobook).

1) The BEST Way To Sell Books Changes Every 10 Years

In the 2000s, it was newspapers and magazines.

In 2010s, it was popular blogs and TV shows.

In 2020s, it's podcasts and social media.

Now it's TikTok shop and newsletters.
2) Test EVERYTHING

Writing a bestseller isn't luck, it's calculated.

James Clear tested 300 (!) different book covers for "Atomic Habits".

Take the time to test the title, subtitle, and cover with FB ads or Pickfu.

A small change can help sell 10x or 100x more books.
