Fix Your “One-Liner” to Instantly Sell More Books

Fix Your One-Liner to Instantly Sell More Books

When someone asks, “What’s your book about?” how do you answer?

If your response is too long, too vague, or too complicated, you’re losing potential readers.

📌 What to Do This Week (Takes 3 Minutes!)

  1. Write down your current answer to “What’s your book about?”

  2. Simplify it into one sentence that:

  • Solves a problem or meets a need

  • Sparks curiosity

  • Is easy to repeat

  • Examples

    No: “My book is about trusting  God in difficult seasons.”
    Yes: “My book helps people trust God when life doesn’t make sense.

  • No: “It’s a devotional for women.”
    Yes:“It’s a devotional for women who want to hear God’s voice in everyday life.

  • No: “It’s a children’s book about kindness.”
    Yes:“It’s a fun story that helps kids learn kindness in a way they’ll never forget.”

3. Test your new one-liner on a friend or family member and see if they say:
 Oh wow, I need that!”
 “That sounds amazing!”
 “I know someone who needs that book!”

📌 Why This Works:

  • If people can repeat it, they can recommend it!
  • It creates an immediate emotional connection.
  • A clear, compelling one-liner turns conversations into book sales.
