BOOK PROMOTION TIPS
FOR AUTHORS
Premiere promotional
efforts, like advertisements, may cost more than you, as a self-published
author can afford. So, what do you do? Turn to the internet. The virtual world has made it possible for you
to publicize news about your book(s) to the communities who would be most
interested.
To help you get started,
here are three websites you can check-out. Each of them offers you a FREE
opportunity for you, your book and your all-important book website or blog to
get the exposure you want and deserve:
1) Book Blogs: Here people can read books, write
reviews and blog about book-related topics.
2) Reader Views: Provides a free review of your book
and then posts that review in the social media sphere. An upgrade to exposure
is available for nominal fee.
3) Step-By-Step Self-Publishing: One of the best
sites for independent authors. The “reviewer list” provides list of websites
that do FREE book reviews.
Admittedly, in today's
self-publishing world, there's a lot of competition. So it's important to
understand how public relations works. Once you know more
about how to get your message (and your product) out there, you can refine the
process as need. There is no substitute for doing the work and learning from your
mistakes.
But remember, the most
important thing to do is start… somewhere. At the very least visiting and
submitting information about your work to these free sites (and others) will
keep you busy until The New York Times comes knocking on your
door.
