The best lesson I learned this year.  Listen when people tell you to recover your book and update it.

My editor had told me a couple of times to update and recover the book because it had good content that people were missing because the cover was outdated.

My mindset was they weren’t buying it now what’s the point. Wrong mindset.

This year was the ten year anniversary of Building Online Relationships.  I finally decided to listen and update the cover. I wanted to make it a series with the Building Your Readership books. 

Guess what happen?

People started buying the book and even buying the ebook.

Why didn’t I listen and recover the book years ago?

The new cover let’s me create new content to reintroduce the book.

Readers feel like they are getting a new book.

People who might have wanted in the past, but didn’t get it can buy now.

The new cover goes great with the series, so when I’m ready for a bundle I can do it.

Do you have a book that needs an update?
