akjeA helpful tip has just occurred to me concerning book covers, although I haven't implemented it yet. As they say, readers need to see a book cover several million times before they become curious enough to check it out. So it might help to have similar covers on all your books. Then if a reader sees one cover somewhere, and sees another elsewhere, they might think it's the same book and wonder why it's suddenly appearing everywhere...? And that it might be worth looking into why it's so ubiquitous lately. ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯
I wonder if that's ultimately why series fiction tends to do better than standalones? Series tend to have nearly identical covers, so the reader is essentially hit with the same cover over and over. Like Doris Lessing's Children of Violence series.
Although some authors even coordinate their covers when those books are not at all related, like Lynne Schwartz and others.
Oooh, a nice rebranding of Virginia Woolf's books by HarperCollins.
And, of course, Neil Gaiman's:
Definitely need to think about doing this for my own books one day...
