8 Tips for Surviving The Self-Publishing Roller Coaster<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether your self-publishing journey diverged from a dream of traditionally publishing, or you knew that self-publishing was right for you, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve found yourself on an emotional roller coaster you didn\u2019t sign up for. Readers are hard to find.<\/p>\n

There are many expensive ways to get off the ride \u2013 from sketchy paths with vanity publishers to rocky shortcuts with marketing houses. There\u2019s also the cheap route of quitting writing, but that won\u2019t alleviate the ache.<\/p>\n

The real solution is to stay on the ride. When you\u2019re at the peaks, look around, enjoy the scenery, and take stock of how far you\u2019ve come. Learn some skills you can turn to when your climbing, and they\u2019ll become solutions you can turn to when your sales \u2013 and your outlook \u2013 are down.<\/p>\n

Here are eight emotions many self-published authors face and some helpful tips to see you through.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Disappointment
    \n<\/strong>Whether it\u2019s bad reviews, rejection or reaching readers, disappointment is universal. Tap into what is causing the disappointment. There\u2019s grace in fumbling through the darkest night of the soul. Eventually, you will find source of the pain, and only then can you begin a marketing journey to the solution.<\/li>\n
  2. Sticker Shock<\/strong>
    \nPublishing can be expensive, but do not blindly accept the cost. Yes, you should find an editor if you can. If you can\u2019t, swap with another author. Produce the best product possible. Join groups and forums for tips. Make your books as widely available as possible. Tally up the costs and determine how many books you need to sell to break even.<\/li>\n
  3. Demotivation<\/strong>
    \nA funny thing happens when no one is looking over your shoulder telling you to write. As you start to go down the marketing road, it\u2019s easy to lose focus of your writing. Shifting between business brain and author brain isn\u2019t always easy. Make sure you keep the priority on writing.<\/li>\n
  4. Overwhelmed<\/strong>
    \nWith so many tasks that require different modes of thinking, it can be hard to focus. While you\u2019re writing, you\u2019re worried about your bank balance. While paying bills, you worry about the marketing.<\/p>\n

    Tip: You won\u2019t find yourself in a SWAMP, if categorize your tasks into five categories, and carve out a few minutes each day to tackle one. Eventually, it becomes a habit.<\/p>\n

    S<\/strong>ocial media and Special Events \u2013 On Monday, schedule social media posts, reach out to book stores, and find book bloggers.
    \nW<\/strong>ebsite and Writing \u2013 Does your website need updating? If you have a blog, Tuesday is a great time to write your next post.
    \nA<\/strong>dvertising and Accounting \u2013 On Wednesday, update keywords in your ads and check on their performance. Use a system like Quickbooks, for example, to categorize your expenses.
    \nM<\/strong>arketing \u2013 Tackle hanging tasks on Thursday. Have you been wanting to update your book categories and descriptions?
    \nP<\/strong>romos and Public Relations \u2013 Have an upcoming release? Write a press release. Schedule discounts and promos. Then the rest of your Friday is all about writing.<\/li>\n

  5. Review Reflections
    \n<\/strong>Reviews aren\u2019t for you; they\u2019re for readers. It\u2019s hard not to keep an eye on the tally, because a lot of online marketing requires a minimum number of reviews. Send the negative ones to your critique partners and ask them to translate any actionable items like typos.<\/li>\n
  6. Marketing Madness<\/strong>
    \nDecades ago, when I first started in marketing, I had what I called the Slush Box. Every flyer and unique piece of junk mail went into it. Without a filing method, when I needed inspiration, I was free to dump it out on the floor and sift through it until an ah-ha moment struck. You can do the same.<\/p>\n

    Sign up for author marketing newsletters, listen to podcasts, join online groups, and take notes (a great Thursday task). Keep them in one place so you can turn to them for inspiration. After a while, you\u2019ll go from \u201cI don\u2019t know what to do\u201d to \u201cI\u2019ve tried that\u201d and \u201chere\u2019s what works for me.\u201d<\/li>\n

  7. Comparing Yourself to Others<\/strong>
    \nIt\u2019s easier said than done sometimes, but don\u2019t compare yourself to other writers. You are on your own journey.<\/li>\n
  8. Get Down to Business<\/strong>
    \nOnce you emerge from that dark and disappointed night of the soul, you\u2019ll know where your pain points are. If you\u2019re spending too much money, reduce the cost of producing your books and work to increase sales with free methods. If you aren\u2019t reaching enough readers, take strides to build your fanbase and build your newsletter.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t listen to those who claim you can\u2019t be a writer if you\u2019re ambitious. You can absolutely measure your journey with business goals. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be analyzing your profit and loss statement and saying, \u201cWow. I really enjoy this roller coaster ride.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
