What to Do After Publishing a Book

And why they’re important.

You’ve written your book. It’s published with your name on the cover. You’ve done everything you can to promote your book. You’ve sold a fair number of copies already.

Now what?

Here’s what you should after publishing your book:

Celebrate!

You’ve done something only so many people in the world have done. You published your own book!

Why wouldn’t you want to celebrate it?

Treat yourself to whatever you like: three scoops in a sundae, a nice Whiskey Sunrise or even take yourself out for a nice meal. Whatever it is, do it for you!

You worked hard. You need to reward yourself.

Promote the Heck Out of Your Book!

Now that anyone in the world can buy your book, it’s time to let people know about it.

Share your book in any way you can. Post about it on all of your social media platforms. Tell everyone you know and strangers on the street. Whatever you can do to let others know about your book, the better.

Your first book isn’t going to fly off of the shelves, but if you promote it well enough, you will sell a fair number of copies.

I have done all of this and more. I have also been interviewed for my local radio station and newspaper. You can do this too and so much more!

So what’re you waiting for? Spread the word and sell some books!

Write Another One!

My first book “Life: A Collection of Short Stories” has only been out a week and people are already asking me when the next one is coming out.

While you’re enjoying seeing your name in print, selling copies and celebrating, write another book! Don’t be a one hit wonder. If people enjoy your book, and they will, they will want to buy another one from you.

So write it! Spend some time writing and start the cycle all over again. But once it’s done and published, you’ll have two books under your belt! The cycle will keep going for as long as you keep writing and selling books.

What a wonderful cycle it is too!

Closing Thoughts

Maybe you want to become an author, expand your business or teach someone something. Either way, writing a book is the way to go.

Once you publish your book, it feels like ending a television series. What do I do now? Try these steps and you will find success!

Happy writing!
