THE HARD TRUTH by CHRIS KEYS

Despite being a big proponent of networking, I'm finding it isn't a very good or effective tool for selling books. Most of the people on the sites are there to either learn more about writing, to simply socialize or to sell a book themselves. I know it's not what us self-published authors want to hear buy, it's true. Unfortunately to sell books, you have to get noticed by the public. The majority of the public isn't on the social networking sites looking for books. They are reading newspapers, magazines about books, looking over the selection in book stores or glancing at ads they see on their favorite websites, or facebook. The old adage is true. It takes money to make money. So, since most of us aren't flush with disposable income, I would suggest that you do your homework and choose wisely, as they say the best fit for your book. Good luck, because even if you are an extremely good writer unless the public knows about you, no one will be buying your book. Chris
