 Re: How to Booklet
Sounds like you're doing great Deacon. Have you given thought to your cover art ? It's the first impression people will have of all your hard work and effort and it will intrigue them to pick it up off the shelf and look thru it.
For your photos & illustrations, consider a little reflection back to earlier times for a historic perspective. Old photos of young boys (you know the kind like you see in the Lindsay's books where they are working wearing white shirts and ties as was shown in the old days) This may pursuade an older adult who would buy if for a youngster that it may have some instructional value opposed to let the kid make something that he'll hurt himself on. Boys built these in the days when men were men. If you have some photos of girls involved with such a project and riding these......that adds dimension of the books appeal.
I would encourage you to consider self publishing in this venture. There are loads of vanity presses who will publish these books for you paid up front. You will need to be selling and marketing these then. Nothing would help to assist that than going on the road on your bike and selling (signed) copies at county fairs, October Fest, and the like. You could travel with the bike in the back of the Pickup truck and set up your bike as a display and ride it showing it off at these places. A web site printed on a business card with your name
would be good to distribute also.
I've attended some writers seminars myself and met a few people who were suprisingly successful at this. One woman compiled heirloom cookbook recipes
and worked out of a stationwagon often sleeping in a tent at state and national parks.
You may even consider a page of links to resources on the net, and a link to a blog where you take some trips on your bike to fish, to go sight seeing, and so forth. (this could link your book on bikes to your writing interest)
Think "viral marketing" !
Just my thoughts in brief.  |
