“Most authors sell less than 250 books over their lifetime .” - Judy M. Baker

Many authors struggle to find their audience:

There are many reasons why an author may sell fewer than 250 books. One reason is that the book may not have been widely marketed or made easily available for purchase. Additionally, the book may not have appealed to a wide audience, or it may have received poor reviews from critics. Additionally, the book may have been competing with a large number of other books in the same genre or category, which can make it difficult for it to stand out and attract readers. Finally, the book may simply have been published in a time when there was a lot of competition for readers' attention, making it difficult for the book to gain traction.

Your book may be awesome and full of wisdom, yet there are many who people don't know about it. You want to connect and raise awareness, without making it a full time job.

Some of the reasons books don't sell

1. Lack of marketing and promotion: If a book is not marketed effectively, it will be difficult for it to reach a wide audience and attract readers.

2. Limited availability: If a book is not available for purchase in a variety of places, it will be difficult for readers to find and buy it.

3. Lack of appeal: A book that does not have a clear target audience or that does not appeal to a wide range of readers is less likely to be successful in terms of sales.

4. Strong competition: If a book is published at the same time as other books that are similar or in the same genre, it can be difficult for it to stand out and attract readers.

5. Negative reviews: If a book receives negative reviews from critics or readers, it can be difficult for it to gain traction and attract new readers.

6. Limited reader attention: In today's world, there is a lot of competition for readers' attention, making it difficult for books to stand out and attract readers.
