Summary:
For some reason, people have long lauded large social media followings as indicative of who will sell the most books. But the numbers speak for themselves: celebrities with HUGE social media followings consistently underperform in book sales.
Why does everyone think that social media following = book sales?
In episode #141 of The Author’s Corner, Robin reveals her theory about why this belief is so common, even among publishing house editors and staff. She also discusses how authors can still sell thousands of books and make multiple bestseller lists, without millions of followers.
Key takeaways:
- What we can learn from Britney Spears’and Billie Eilish’s memoirs
- A theory on why social media followings are considered indicative of book sales (and why it's not true!)
- The power of consistency
- And more!
