How to promote your book

[TerryRodgers]

Lucy, I removed your link in the previous post because when I go to the link all I see are posts from an architectural company. I do not see anything to lead me to believe the blog helps writers. Please let me know if you disagree. Also, I'd like to invite you to stay awhile and post more than just your blog. We are writers helping writers.

Thank you so much for the informative posts. I'm also a self publishing author and written a book "How To Start An HR Consultancy?" For me also, It was really tedious task to promote the book. Well then, I came to the conclusion the main thing that matters is quality of work. If you have done a good job, people start to appreciate it and promotion becomes kind of easy. I somehow got this advantage. Also, I would like to share that take advantage of Social Media. It's one of the best method to promote.

I think everyone here wants to share their work with other. There is a fine line between sharing and spamming though. You need to be conscious of which way you are heading.

That being said, I am also trying to market my first book. It may seem obvious, but what is most important is having a polished product.

I do plan on doing a good amount of advertising through different mediums, but that will only take me so far. Hopefully people enjoy my book, because if it is going to reach a wide audience, that will be the determining factor.

ttym,

Remove your signature or I will ban you. We do not support any kind of essay writing services where people can pay to cheat.

You have 24 hours to comply.

I suggest that you create a website about your book - launch a freebie section like free downloads, etc. and promote to different social networking sites you are participating.

I found this site while trying to help a friend promote his book for Amazon: http://reviews-easy.com/ It's a big database where you can find the highest rated reviewers on Amazon (of course for many domains, but you can find also book reviewers). From what I've seen on other sites this type of service is quite expensive, to find professional reviewers to endorse your work, but seems somehow necessary when you are not a social media guru, no one has heard of you and has no good reason to buy your book There is no mandatory fee (maybe make a donation if you feel like it), you just have to log in and find the domain you're interested in finding reviewers. From that point on only your writing can save you

Hope this helps,
Roxana

Promoting a book is hard to do since a lot of people don't buy books, they prefer reading online. It saves money and time. When you promote something, it is better if you choose a catchy cover and a great prologue stories that could catch someone's attention. You also try marketing on Facebook. There are many registered accounts on Facebook, there are lots of possible markets there. Try promoting on social media sites like twitter, youtube and many more.

Spam link removed. Don't try it again, or you'll be banned. BTW when someone tries to market their book and their spammy post shows up on my newsfeed on Facebook, I delete them -pls, mod)

Promoting your book is much easier if you have informed or already marketed your book to your specific audience especially through social media. It is important that your audience knows that your are to publish a book in a year or months. Let them see some reviews from specific people you can ask to give a review about your book. It's like marketing or promoting your book before or even if you're not done writing it.
