A reader usually chooses to go through your book depending on the title of the book. Whether or not you want to self-publish on Amazon, UK, you have to pay attention to it. An attractive one will draw readers to at least flip through the book.
To ensure that your book has the best possible chance of success, you have to pay proper heed in assigning the right title to it. It is a must-do, especially if you want to self-publish on Kindle.
A book title is the first thing that a prospective reader comes across. She/he gets hooked to an interesting title which tells something (but not everything) about the contents of the book.
Naura Hayden’s book, ‘How to satisfy a woman every time… and have her beg for more!’ is a hit. The title itself allures the audience to pick it up.
It was previously published as “Astro-Logical Love”, which flopped. She changed the title altogether and made some changes in the contents.
That book with just a different title became popular.
Hence, spend some time figuring out the best possible title for your book, because your audience will have an impression of what’s inside the book from its title. The success of your book will be decided by it to a large extent.
Good titles have certain common features.
Short The title should satisfy your audience’s curiosity “What’s in it for me?”
Make the benefit of your readers clearly evident in the title.
Evocative: Let the titles highlight the interests (mostly in non-fiction) and your audience will be intrigued.
It should be memorable and unique: You can try various ways. Make a promise, be provoking, debatable, invigorating, etc. through the title. The aim is to just attract attention to it. (For other aspects of book-making, take the help of expert self-book publishers in London).
Some ways to arrive at a good book title are-
Step 1: Be clear about the goals of your book.
Step 2: Think about several potential titles: Target your audience with simple & direct title with promise of benefit/solution. Make them curious. Use numbers & alliteration. You may alter a popular phrase or use slang or co-in a new word/phrase
Step 3: Check for copyright, trademark, keywords and popularity.
Step 4: Choose the title which is your favourite.
