THE ABILITY TO ADAPT

The feature this week was written at my request by a lady and friend named Victorine Lieske. http://victorinelieske.com/ She is infamous at determining what works in marketing, and designing it to suit her needs. She makes a solid five-figure income, not far from six. 

Her story below is her current strategy, and the strategy of some writers making strong incomes from their writing. They write quantity, mostly cozy, and usually romance-related. And they've carved out their niche. 

What's different about Victorine is that she adapts. She watches the market and studies tools. She keeps abreast of what's working, and then decides what she wants to incorporate into her own life. For instance, she sticks to Amazon and doesn't fool with Google, iTunes, B&N or Kobo. She hasn't done audio books. She doesn't buy ISBNs. 

A lot of gurus would tell you she's not doing all the right things. However, she claims, and I echo her point, that she is doing what she wants to do and making the income she wants to make. She enjoys her work, the stories she writes, and aiding other writers to do their best as well. 

What she is doing may last her another three years, or another three months, but she is shrewd enough to decide when and how to change. She acknowledges that change is critical for authors to be wary of as the industry changes. She doesn't get flustered and doesn't shy away when it happens. Everything is what it is, and she constantly tweaks. 

The minute you think you have your act together, the paradigm shifts, and you fall behind. The key to any success is the ability to adapt, because no industry remains stagnate. But you do have the liberty to change as much or as little as you like. But in the end, your income is the result of your choices.

HOPE'S APPEARANCES

 

SUCCESS QUOTE

SUccess Story

Dear Hope,

I've been following your newsletter FundsforWriters for more than ten years. I found the very first publisher I ever used (not necessarily a success story, but a learning experience), and this year I entered a play writing contest that you listed on your site. The contest was for 10-minute plays with the theme "Gaydar". When I was young I dreamed about being a playwright, but life happened and I didn't start really writing until about ten years ago. I've had a fair amount of success in the genre of lesbian romance and young adult lesbian fiction, but the thought of writing a play hadn't resurfaced until I saw this contest listed on in your news letter.  

I wrote my play "Is She or Isn't She" in just a few days. Spent a week editing it and sent it in to the contest back in April. Around the middle of August I received an email from one of the event organizers letting me know that my play was one of the nine that had been picked to be performed. 

I didn't win the contest, but I did get to see the opening night of the play. It was absolutely amazing and so thrilling to see someone take my words and turn them into actions. 

We couldn't video the play during the real performances, but the lady who was my main contact with the theater was kind enough to video the dress rehearsal for me on her phone. I've loaded it to YouTube so I could share it with all my fans. 

Here's the link to the video: Is She or Isn't She.

Thank you for all the wonderful information you keep putting out for us writers. I know I really appreciate all the work you put into your news letter.

Sincerely,
M. E. Tudor
a.k.a. Tina Brewster

How to Write to Market and Improve your Income

By Victorine Lieske

If you’re an indie author, it’s possible you have heard other authors talk about writing to market. It’s not a new concept, but within the last few years indie authors have been using it to sell more books and skyrocket their income. Here’s how to do it.

1.    Pick a genre you love. It does no good to write in a genre you don’t read in and enjoy, so pick one you are quite familiar with. For example, let’s pick mystery.

2.    Drill down to a popular sub-genre. Take some time and look at the different sub-genres. Pick one you enjoy and look at the top selling books. Let’s pick culinary cozy mystery. If you look on Amazon, the top selling book in that category is #112 in the whole Kindle store. This is good, it means this is a hot category. Now look at the top twentieth book. It’s ranked #2,771. Anything above #10,000 is going to indicate it’s a hot market. The trick is to pick one that is hot, but not so crowded that you can’t break in.

3.    Study the tropes, themes, and similarities. Now that you’ve picked your sub-genre, buy the top ten books and read them. Look at the story threads that run through all the books searching for tropes and themes that are the same. Ignore the outliers, the books that sell well but don’t have similar themes or tropes. You’re looking for the commonalities. Write them down.

4.    Write your book. Now you should be able to incorporate these well-loved tropes and themes in your own book. This does not mean you are copying the stories. This means you are using common storytelling devices that have been around for years. With your own unique twists, you should be able to tell a story that will be both fresh and new, yet familiar and loved.

5.    Rapid release. A popular trend to raising your income is to write three novels and then publish one every 30 days. This will acquire you more visibility and raise your ranks, especially if you’re writing in a series.

6.    Write a reader magnet. Write a novella or short story and give it away as incentive to join your newsletter.

7.    Network. Spend some time on social media getting to know other authors who write in your genre. For this example, this would be culinary cozy mystery. See if there are any Facebook groups where these authors hang out. If not, start your own and invite authors to join. 

8.    Trade promotion. Offer to promote another author’s book in your newsletter if they will promote yours.

9.    Slow release. Instead of scheduling all your promotion on your release day, spread it out so your book slowly rises in rank on Amazon. This will make your book stay higher in rank longer.

Michelle Pennington was averaging $33 income per month in the beginning of 2017. She began writing to market in the fall of 2017 and in the beginning of 2018 was averaging $3,600 income per month. This May she topped $7,000 for the month.

Amy Meyer earned $63.50 in May of 2017. She began writing to market under the pen name of Anne-Marie Meyer shortly after that. Her income for Ma, 2018 was $7,353. 

Bree Livingston published her first to market book in March of this year. She made $2,283 in March. April brought in $6,402. May topped $8,000. Last year her total income was $281. 

These three examples happen to be sweet romance writers, but this isn’t a concept that only works for this genre. Craig Martelle, founder of the Facebook group 20Booksto50K writes to market science fiction. Susan Kaye Quinn brings in six figures writing YA dystopian. This method will work with any genre as long as it is commercial, and you pick a niche that is selling well.

BIO: Victorine Lieske self-published her first book, Not What She Seems, in April of 2010. In March of 2011, the book began its six-week run on The New York Times bestselling eBook list. By May 2011 she had sold over 100,000 copies. Victorine's first romantic comedy novel, Accidentally Married, hit the USA Today bestselling books list in January 2015. She now has 13 novels out and you can listen to her talk about how to have success writing on her YouTube channel, The Writing Gals.
