How to get the most out of AppSumo?
As you might've heard - my eBook got accepted to AppSumo.
At first it will only be "private and searchable" which means people can search for it or go to in through a direct link, meaning I will have to promote it myself. When I get 5+ good reviews on their platform, they will reexamine the exposure I get.
At the moment, I'm selling the eBook through Gumroad and Amazon and receive a larger cut of the revenue. What are my incentives to sell and promote through AppSumo link?
Just a small piece of advice. Readers of this have no idea what your ebook is about. It's not in the subject. It's not in the body of this post, where it should be.
When I click on your "my ebook got accepted to appsumo" link, it brings me to another one of your posts that doesn't mention what the ebook is about either!
So if you want to succeed, you'll have to market harder by thinking about these things. Everytime you mention your ebook, sell it. Everytime you post somewhere, add "by the way I have this ebook called _____..." Appsumo is telling you that you have to do your own marketing, and yet I'm not seeing it, readers want to know what your book is about! Sell it!
Hey antarctican, thanks for the feedback. The ebook is called Start With A Side-Project and it is about my recent experience of building, marketing and selling a side-project in 3 months. It will soon be available on AppSumo as well :)
