A pre-sale period gives you an opportunity to build a foundation for your book’s success. Without spending the time and energy to make sure that foundation is ready, your book sales will suffer.
To move forward with your bookselling, you may need to go back to the basics of marketing and create a plan that defines your mission, objectives, strategies, and tactics.
When selling books, it's important to remember that readers do not buy the tangible elements of a book, they buy the (sometimes) intangible benefits they receive from reading. They buy what your book will do for them.
