Three Things It Takes To Be An Indie Author

i am about to list three things that an independant author needs to get somewhere!
these are only my opinion so they are not written in stone but they are based on my experience!
one: a good book. ok this sounds like a nonstarter and a nobrainer but if your book is not well written or well edited it will come back to bite you trust me on this! you will get bad reviews!
two: time and or dedication! time to not only write the book but time-dedication to proofread and edit for the sixth time! you really should invest in a editor. you also need to wait once you have published the book because, your book is unlikely to be a success over night but if you wait long enough readers will come! though it does help if you advertise!
three: which brings me to the third point you need to tell people about your book! readers will not buy read or review your book if they do not know about it! this does not mean that you need to spend huge amounts though the more you invest the greater the return but you can use your social network local paper etc. so long as you let them know it is out there!
these are the points that i feel can help new writers! if you can think of more or disogree with these then please leave a coment.
