SFFMP 58: Marketing Stand Alone Novels and Different Types of Series
Today, we answered some reader questions/comments about bank accounts for your self-publishing business and making your author site mobile friendly, and then we jumped into discussing marketing strategies for stand alone novels, as well as several different types of series.
The main types of series we discussed are:
- Series with continuing characters where each novel is a complete story
- Series where there is an overarching storyline with multiple plot threads that only get wrapped up in the final book
- Series with major romance elements that have different characters and happily ever afters in each novel.
Naturally, we spoke of everything in a science fiction and fantasy context. Even though some of these series types are more popular in other genres, there are definitely plenty of examples in SF & F. We talked about the pros and cons when it comes to marketing each.
