  • First Book Signing In Over a Year! How Many Books Did I Sell? // I’m so excited to share the vlogs from my first book singings event in over a year! I’m certainly rusty, but I’m hoping this will be the first events of many! Along with the book signing vlog, I’m going behind the scenes into how I prepare for book signing events at vendor fairs, and how many books I sell at each event!

    Thank you for talking about vendor events! I tend to get overwhelmed by in-person sales events so this kind of helped demystify it for me. Breaking down the costs and sales helped too. More vendor event vlogs for sure!!

    Your table looked great. I had my first author table at a vendor show, and I sold hand made short story booklets. Same thing happened got stuck inside due to rain. But it went well considering the small crowd. I sold 21 booklets in total. I also brought a cooler of food so I didn't have to worry about finding someone to watch the table. Maybe that could help you when your not able to bring some help. Good luck! 👍

    This is super inspiring for a newer author like me! Quick question, how did you find these events? Did you just look them up, and if so, what kind of search words did you use?

    • @MandiLynnWrites
      @MandiLynnWrites  3 роки тому +5

      The first one at the campground, I found through Facebook when a friend marked that they were "interested" in the event. The second event is an event hosted by an old co-worker of mine. I've found once you find one, add the vendors as friends on Facebook and then they post about their upcoming events and you can hop in!

    Hey. how much you sell your books for at book signings?

    • @MandiLynnWrites
      @MandiLynnWrites  3 роки тому

      Usually $15/each, and then the more books you buy, the cheaper they get.
