GET PUBLISHED AND KNOWN BY A BOOK PUBLICIST
While writing this post, it dawned upon some of the greatest motivational authors I have read in the past fifteen years or so. In my mini-library, I can see some of them carefully tacked in the shelves. At least once in a month, I made a personal tour of these inspirational books to keep me going and infuse upon me new outlook and a revitalized perspectives on how to deal about the different situations posed by the day to day interactions with people. Some of these books are regarded as best sellers by the New York Times. At one point, I was wondering how these great books came down to us and other places in the world. They must have employed a great book publicist to enable their works to get popularized to people aside from the fact that they have already established a very good reputation in their chosen field of endeavour.
It has been said that even in book publications, there is a need to exert some sorts of marketing or promotional efforts with the end in view of creating interest on the part of the readers. A good book does not necessarily produce good sales. You may have the most brilliant mind in the world whose ideas are put in a little book but if you are not able to sell your ideas well, you failed as a writer. This happens most of the time as it does happen in most products in the marketplace where a product no matter how good, how effective or how interesting they are would be ignored or would be least noticed if no form of marketing events were done. Public relations is crucial to make a thing work. It spells magic when you most needed it. So if you are planning to get your book published, look for a good book publicist.
