Why your books won't sell

This post is a copy of a post I put up on amazon. it was in response to a couple of authors who complained that their ebooks weren't selling.

Like any other business, if you didn't get in on the ground floor, you are going to find it hard. Many of the best selling authors have many books. No one should expect to write one book and sell millions. It's not going to happen like that any more.

All the indie people who have sold a million on kindle have many books.

And this is a business. If your books are only for sale on kindle that might be another problem. Word of mouth sells books. Amazon is crowded, you might have to go some place else to get noticed and read by strangers who are the best promoters of your books. i say books because you have to write more than one.
