What Problem Does Your Book Solve?
In last Monday’s marketing post, we discussed:
- zeroing in on what your message offers the reader
- the importance of articulating the benefits in your back cover copy and other sales materials
To emphasize this step in another way, let’s ask the question: What problem are you solving for your reader?
Readers are tired of trite, superficial answers to life’s challenges. As a Christian writer, you can offer a real and enduring solution for the trials of this life.
What are you helping your reader to overcome?
- Depression?
- Loneliness?
- Unforgiveness?
- Anger?
- Betrayal or infidelity?
- Fear of the future?
- Grief over the loss of a loved one?
Make sure you use this information in the back cover copy and sales material so your potential readers will relate based on their needs and see that you may have some answers for them.
Let us take this one step further.
How are you helping your reader overcome? Are you giving them worldly advice, or His wisdom?
