Selling a Philosophical Work? Any ideas?
I guess your target market is people who have a thirst for knowledge, no? So perhaps the "I have information you don't, but would want" angle? Tough call.
The best philosophical copy that I've ever seen personally, is on the back of Atlas Shrugged:
"This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world and did. Was he a destroyer or the greatest of liberators?
Why did he have to fight his battle, not against his enemies, but against those who needed him most, and his hardest battle against the woman he loved? What is the world’s motor — and the motive power of every man? You will know the answer.to these questions when you discover the reason behind the baffling events that play havoc with the lives of the characters in this story. ..."
Provocative.
So, I was wondering if anyone here had specific advice on selling philosophical works.
Not looking for general advice like: "Just use the basic principles of good copy", "Facts tell stories sell", "Logic tells, emotion sells" ... but actual advice related to this specific topic. Thanks in advance (yea, I thanks in advanced you... you owe me pal.).
..and you WILL contribute a verse.
