One of the first work-related tasks
I do EVERY morning
is ensure
my books are still listed
on the major bookstores.
Yes, bookstores will tell me
if they’ve been delisted
or if the site is having problems
…eventually.
But every day delay
is a day of no sales.
I have a plan set
if books are delisted
or the bookseller site is down.
I redirect readers
to a site that offers that same eBook format
immediately.
Then I contact the impacted bookseller
and try to get the book relisted
or inquire about when
the site will be back up.
Having a plan already set
allows me to act quickly.
If you’re selling a product,
verify frequently
(every day if possible)
it is available for sale.
Have a plan
if it suddenly gets delisted
or the site goes down.
(This happens
at a certain large bookseller
OFTEN.
Plan for it.)
