The most notable influence of the digital revolution on the book industry has been the emergence of self-publishing. Surprisingly, this shift hasn't led to the demise of printed books. Currently, more than 80% of books are still read physically, making it crucial to find printing and book fulfillment services. While eBooks and audiobooks are growing, they don't come close to rendering printed copies obsolete. Many readers continue to enjoy the tactile experience of physical books and prefer to keep copies in their personal collections. This preference significantly affects self-published authors.

Among traditional media, books appear to be thriving the most. Self-published authors have created challenges for established publishing houses, but the book industry is expanding overall. In contrast to TV, newspapers, and magazines, which have struggled against online media and seen their audiences decline, the book sector has momentum. Encouragingly, many younger people are becoming enthusiastic readers and book purchasers, contributing to a promising future for printed literature. Physical books will remain an essential part of the media landscape for the foreseeable future.

So, what does this mean for those writing and self-publishing a book? It's important to approach printing seriously and ensure that copies are easily accessible to buyers. Maintaining high quality is crucial since you'll compete with numerous other books. Consider hiring a professional editor to polish your content and collaborate with a cover designer to create an attractive cover. As you approach your launch date, consider enlisting a book marketing firm. While promoting your book on social media can be beneficial, it often falls short compared to the exposure gained from media coverage,

Media coverage enhances your credibility as a published author, and the good effect spills onto your book. When it comes to printing your book, one effective strategy is to examine others in your genre and align your content accordingly. You might opt to create a book cover that is immediately recognizable, such as using a green cover with imagery related to money for a finance book. Also, depending on your genre, an abstract design could be suitable, but ensure that it remains clear and concise. Remember, book shoppers tend to have limited patience, so capture their interest quickly.
