Where Most Self-Published Authors Quit — and How to Avoid It
Published your book… and then nothing happened?
You’re not alone. Most self-published authors hit a wall right after the book launch. Sales stall. Engagement disappears. And the dream of impact starts to fade.
But here’s the truth:
This is where most authors quit — and this is where you need to push forward.
Why Most Authors Quit After Launch
1. Launch Fatigue Hits Hard
You’ve spent months writing, formatting, and getting your book published. By the time it’s live, you’re exhausted. So when sales don’t skyrocket right away, it’s easy to feel like you’ve failed.
2. There’s No Visibility System in Place
Many authors focus entirely on the launch day… and then stop. Without a clear system to stay visible after launch, momentum quickly disappears.
3. Silence Feels Like Failure
Authors often assume slow sales mean their book isn’t good enough. But the truth is — your audience just hasn’t found it yet.
What Successful Indie Authors Do Instead
They build a visibility engine.
Instead of quitting, successful authors shift gears. They use simple weekly habits to stay discoverable — and profitable — long after launch day.
- They commit to showing up consistently.
- They repurpose their content across platforms.
- They make it easy for readers to stay connected.
