Can Some Authors Make Their Own Book Marketing & Sales Opportunities?
Where do opportunities for authors to sell or market their books come from?
Let me first tell you where they don’t come from:
*Fear
*Frustration
*Laziness
*Insecurity
*Ignorance
None of that gets you anywhere but where you are. It may be natural to experience any or all of the above, but the quicker you stifle negative thinking or useless actions, the faster you will grow and succeed.
Ok, sure, I stated the obvious. I know anyone can tell you not to shit yourself, but it needs to be said. Stress run amok serves no one. It is not a strategy to worry and become incapacitated by wandering thoughts. There is no reason to make actionless worrying a habit.
Here is what you should do: Develop an opportunistic mindset. Instead of waiting for opportunities to be served to you, which rarely happens, you need to create your own opportunities and seize them at all costs.
Opportunity comes when:

Authors & Publishers Must Meet All Challenges, Big & Small
Blogger.com recently changed the interface on my blog. It is something all tech companies do every few years, really for no other reason than to freshen things up. But every single time some portal changes its look or relocates things or discards certain functions, it upsets me. It is an unnecessary change in a time where stability and familiarity are needed. The last thing I need is for my blog to play hide-and-ho-seek with me. But this experience left me wondering about change and why we so often struggle with it.

How Your Book Price Impacts Your Ad Results
We know that the price of a discount has a huge impact on the click and sales rates for Featured Deals — but what about for BookBub Ad campaigns? Should you always include a price in your ad image? Which deal prices drive the most clicks?
We analyzed over 1,000 recent ad campaigns for both ebooks and audiobooks to see how including a price in the ad image affected the ad’s results. As you might expect, ads promoting books at lower prices tended to have higher click-through rates (CTRs), but some of our other findings were more surprising. We hope this data will help you decide which elements to include in your ad images, no matter the prices of the books you’re promoting!

7 Ways to Build a Community Around Your Blog
The post 7 Ways to Build a Community Around Your Blog appeared first on ProBlogger.
This post is based on episode 61 of the ProBlogger podcast.
Last week I talked about building a community around your blog, and how it can benefit you as much as it can your readers. Well, this week I’m going to give you seven practical tips and strategies on how you can go about building that community.
But before I do, I need to clarify a couple of things.
Firstly, what I’m talking about today is more than just engagement. Don’t get me wrong. I still think you need engagement on your blog. But ultimately I’m after more than just comments, likes, shares and votes. I want to give my readers a sense of belonging and ownership, and for them to practically embody and live out the blog’s values with one another.
Secondly, you can’t just set up your community and then watch it from a distance. You need to be a part of it. In fact, I would go so far as to say you need to be the community you want to have. You need to be there from the word go to shape your community and define its values, its tone, and what is and isn’t acceptable.
Besides, if you don’t want to be part of your own community, why would anyone else?
Okay, now let’s get into what you can do to start building your community.
