Winning an awards contest can greatly increase the likelihood of this happening. It will give you some money, which always helps, and just get your name and your title out there. Any little push can help, especially when ebooks are so prevalent. Anything you as a self-published can do to create hype around your book will always be a good thing and winning book awards is just the trick.

In a marketplace where millions of books are available, and hundreds of thousands of new titles are coming every year, even just a few people creating a buzz about your book can translate into real sales for you.

Don’t be intimidated to join a contest, if you don’t win, there will always be others. But if you do win the contest, the gains for you will be great.
No matter what your book is like, or how you feel about it as an author, entering a book awards contest will do nothing but help you out in the long run.
