Titles Sell Books
Titles Sell Books
Judy Cullins 2004 All Rights Reserved
A clever title is great if it is clear, but a clear title is always preferable. The best? A clear and clever title. A shorter title is better than a longer one. Your reader will spend only four seconds on the cover. While some long titles have succeeded, usually the shorter, the better.
A title is part of your book's front cover. Busy buyers including bookstore buyers, wholesalers, distributors and your audiences buy mainly because of the cover. Dan Poynter, author of Writing Nonfiction, says, "The package outside sells the product inside." Make your cover sizzle.
Start with a working title before you write your chapters. Include your topic, your subject and use the book's benefits in your sub title if possible. Here's your ten tips for titles that sell:
1. Create impact for your title-check out print and radio ad headlines. Check out other authors' titles on the bookstore shelves. Your title must compel the reader to buy now.
Which title grabs you? Elder Rage or Care Giving for Dad?
2. Include your solution in your title. Does your title sell your solution? Make sure it answers the question rather than asks one. For instance, Got Minerals?, or Minerals: The Essential Link to Health. Use positive language instead of negative. For instance, Without Minerals You'll Die can be Minerals: The Essential Link to Health.
3. Make it easy for readers to buy. Readers want a magic pill. They want to follow directions and enjoy the benefits the title promises. For example, 1001 Ways to Market Your Books by John Kremer gives at least 1001 ways for authors and publishers to market their books.
4. Expand your title to other books, products, seminars, and services. Make sure that your title will work well with the title of your presentations, articles and press releases you'll need to promote the book. Such seminars and teleclasses titled "How to Write and Sell Your Book- Fast!" and "Seven Sure- Fire Ways to Publicize your Business" come under the umbrella "fast book writing, publishing and promoting."
5. Use original expressions--a way of expressing one idea for your book--yours alone. Sam Horn, author of Tongue F!, puts her special twist on defusing verbal conflict.
6. Include benefits in your subtitle if your title doesn't have any. Specific benefits invite sales. For instance, Marilyn and Tom Ross' Jump Start Your Book Sales: A Money-Making Guide for Authors, Independent Publishers and Small Presses.
7. Choose others' book covers in your field as models. Go to your local bookstore with five-colored felt tips pens and paper. Browse the section your book would be shelved on. Choose five book titles and covers that attract you. Photo copy or sketch those, noting the colors, design, fonts, and sizes of fonts. Add other colors you like.
Place the book cover you love near your workstation to inspire you. For the final copy, use professional cover designers if possible.
8. Be outrageous with your book title. People do judge a book by its title. Your reader will spend only four seconds on the front cover and eight seconds on the back cover. It must be so outstanding and catchy that it compels the reader to either buy on the spot or look further to the back cover. Take a risk. Be a bit crazy, even outlandish.
9. Be your strongest salesperson self. Choose the strongest words, benefits, and metaphors to move your audience to buy. Titles do sell books.
10. Include your audience in your title. This gives your book a slant. When your title isn't targeted other famous authors' titles win out. Always make your title clear and make it easy for your audience to recognize they need your book.
Your title and front cover is your book's number one sales tool. Short titles are best, say three to six words. John Gray didn't get much attention with his book "What Your Mother Couldn't Tell You and What Your Father Didn't Know." He shortened it to the now famous, "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus."
An outstanding title sells books. Make sure to give this part of your book, the number one essential "Hot-Selling Point," some time and effort.

Astronaut Ice Cream
Astronaut Ice Cream
This Astronaut Foods book tells the history of food in space. From food in a tube to gourmet meals, find out how food has evolved for the astronauts and cosmonauts. What do they eat? How is it prepared? How do they eat it? Where is it kept? Paperback pamphlet. 30 pages. Comes with a package of Astronaut Ice Cream.
Customer Review: Great Fun!
This has become a holiday tradition in our house! We have to have a bag of astronaut ice cream under the tree. It started as a learning experience to see what astronauts eat. We tried everything we could find (pizza, strawberries, etc.) but the ice cream is our favorite and we keep it as a treat for those cold winter days. You get to eat ice cream without the 'brain freeeze'! Very entertaining.

Customer Review: Hardware works nice, software - not so nice.
I've attached the printer to a computer running WinXP SP2, and a USB 2 adapter I've inserted into a PCI slot.
Though every other device I connected to the USB 2 ports worked just fine, the printer would not, regardless of the many solutions offered by HP support. Eventually I had to reinstall XP from scratch in order to solve the problem. Possibly the drivers installation from the CD accompanying the adapter is somehow different (and broken) from the drivers installation from the XP SP2 CD installation.
I use an English user interface for XP, with non-UTF applications set to Hebrew. The printer auto-detects this setup, and chooses a Hebrew interface - which comes out garbled and complete useless. To top that, the black ink level is displayed, but the color ink level is not. The local support opened a call to HP abroad, and never returned to me.
That means I can't & don't use the software at all.
I'm using the printer mostly for black & white prints, a little color scanning & printing, and sending faxes. The printer performs those tasks well, with the fax being quicker than others I've worked with. I've had few problems with printing, including when printing double sides and rebooting the computer in the middle of a print run.
To summarize, the only thing I wish for at this point is that the printer would allow me to manually select the user interface language, and fall back to English.
Customer Review: If you use Windows Vista don't buy an HP All-in-One
I bought this printer/scanner/fax several months ago. It came with a software CD for Windows XP. I installed it anyway, hoping it would work. It didn't. I got a new CD from HP - specifically for Vista. The software still doesn't work. I've spent many hours with HP support, uninstalled and re-installed the software numerous times. Finally the case was escalated to HP's expert support where I was told that it simply doesn't work. They point the finger at Microsoft.
Let's see - I'm using a computer that came from HP with Vista preinstalled. I bought a product that is Vista certified. I installed driver software that is specifically released for Vista. And HP can't make it work! Do yourself a favor, buy your equipment from a different manufacturer.
