And, give people an opportunity to review and recommend our books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Michelle  Gagnon, a mystery author, goes on to say: &#8220;But number one goes back to  the famous &#8220;word of mouth&#8221; that Joe  mentioned. Here you can accomplish  something. Offer excerpts on your  website. Guest blog on websites whose  readers buy mysteries. Give away  every free copy your publisher sends  you, and ask the person to give it a  positive review if they liked it,  and to pass the book along to someone  else who might enjoy it. And  then, keep your fingers crossed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The  sad truth is that at the end of the day, the author doesn&#8217;t have  all  that much control over sales. You just have to keep forging ahead  and  hope that the book gathers steam on its own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t have control over much in life, but we can influence others.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s our job as authors today.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recommendation from someone I know The cover Saw on a bestseller list Reviews you&#8217;ve read in blogs\/online forums Reviews you read in magazines\/newspapers Prominent display in bookstore Fom a comment by Michelle Gagnon at&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[183,34,303,323],"tags":[993,992,2533,995,352,994],"class_list":["post-3106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-marketing","category-book-promotion","category-book-reviews","category-book-sales","tag-bestseller-lists","tag-book-buying","tag-book-reviews","tag-michelle-gagnon","tag-readers","tag-recommendation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Top 6 Ways Readers Buy Books &#183;
