Where can you sell books? The answer is ANYWHERE! 

On this episode of Pub Date, we share non-traditional places where you can sell your book and how to get your book into those nontraditional retailers.

Knowing where to sell your book means that you have to really know your audience. Unpack how to know them better (market research, comps, etc.). Some non-book places you can sell books include:

  • Specialty stores related to your topic (REI, quilt stores, running stores, you name it)
  • Associations like the American Marketing Association, Vistage, and Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO)
  • Corporations (yes, they can and will hire you to speak to their employees! So don’t forget to build in a book sale in your fees)
  • Speaking events, festivals, conferences, workshops (TedTalks, SXSW, and even regional conferences for those associations you’re already a member of)
  • And everyone’s favorite AIRPORTS!

Quotes

It’s impossible to be mindful when you’re putting in eighty hours a week or seventy hours a week like so many of those frustrated entrepreneurs we know.” – Benjamin Berman, (10:42) 

 

Without that central map to guide the internal processes, and without the marketing and the sales materials tying back to that journey and that central map that says ‘this is our central source of truth of what’s happening,’ you’re really missing an opportunity to get people aligned, get people interested, and get people fully through, over and over again.” – Benjamin Berman, (21:33)

 

Yes, profit is important. Yes, getting a return on a shareholder investment is important. The best way to do that is to pay attention to the relationships, to the community, to what people want and how they want to go about it, and to have great management, great bosses all the way down. And when we do that, we’re changing the way that businesses run today.” – Will Crist, (30:34)

If you look at us and watch us walk around—those who are living the EOS Life and those who are helping others live the EOS Life—we just can’t stop smiling.” – Benjamin Berman, (38:00)

How do you sell your book around the world as a traditional author or a trailblazing self-publishing author?

 

Have you ever heard the phrase it’s not what you know but who you know?

“It’s not what you know but who you know,” was certainly true for 10-year pancreatic survivor Thom Mrozek.  Thom wasn’t sure how public he wanted to be about his diagnosis, but when his daughter, who at that time attended an episcopal school asked at Chapel “can we pray for my dad?” her request started the ball rolling.
 
Thom woke up one morning with a recurring pain that went on for a few days.  The pain became worse, and he took himself to urgent care.  The location of his pain caused the urgent care Dr to check his heart.  His heart looked good, and the Dr felt it was a stomach problem probably an ulcer or acid reflux. He was given some medicine and told to follow up with his Primary Care doctor.  Thom went to his internist who ordered a series of tests.  Thom, standing in front of his office received a phone call from his Dr “Thom it’s your pancreas, stop eating!” that comment lead to a “six-week testing treadmill.”
 
Watch or listen to Thom’s inspirational journey and how a prayer request led to a community of support for Thom and his family.
 
“As long as you speak my name, I shall live forever.” This episode is dedicated to Lupe Romero
