The people who it does appeal to are<br />

those your book is targeted towards,<br />

so let’s take those people. Again,<br />

reading an interview isn’t going to<br />

make them all rush to buy your book.<br />

It might make a few people buy it,<br />

but it won’t cause a huge spike in<br />

sales. And that’s ok, because this is<br />

only the first step.<br />

Assuming you have something<br />

interesting to say, what will happen is<br />

that people reading your interview<br />

will want to know more about you as<br />

a person. They might follow you on<br />

social media or visit your own blog.<br />

And that’s where the magic happens.<br />

You now have new eyes on your blog<br />

and social media channels. Interested<br />

eyes that like you and will now see<br />

your book again each time they visit<br />

your site.<br />

Keep them interested. Show more of<br />

your personality and show them,<br />

through your blog, why they need<br />

your book in their lives. The more<br />

people you have visiting your site, the<br />

more people you can convert into<br />

buyers and, hopefully, over time, fans.<br />

About Debbie<br />

Born in 1982 in North East England, I<br />

knew from an early age I wanted to<br />

be a writer. Life got in the way, and<br />

the dream was put on the back<br />

burner, although never forgotten.<br />

I took the plunge, leaving a full time<br />

job in 2016, and I am now a full time<br />

author, freelance writer and blogger.<br />

I have published three novels, two<br />

short story collections, a non-fiction<br />

book and a collection of funny<br />

poems.<br />
