Promote Your Book, Over 250 Proven, Low-Cost Tips and Techniques for the Enterprising Author is getting lots of attention. I did a podcast yesterday—I’ll let you know when it is available. Writing for Dollars published my piece on “8 Tips for Successfully Promoting Your EBook” this week. And the numbers at Amazon are looking good. The rank for Promote Your Book was in the 200,000 range a few weeks ago. Yesterday it was up over 1,000,000 and now it’s down around 400,000.

Do you have a book to promote? If you have come out with a book, it is your job to promote it, you know. How do you get your book promotion ideas? Do you read books on the subject? Articles? Do you get ideas from speakers and members of your writers’ group? Do you attend writers’ and authors’ conferences? Perhaps you’ve received some tips for promotion through this blog. These are all good activities for any author.
Here’s one of my favorite book promotion tips. Snoop on other authors. Visit the websites of authors of books similar to yours and find out how they’re promoting their books:
• Where are they being interviewed?
• Where are they submitting articles/stories?
• Where are they speaking?
• Who is reviewing their books?
• Who is writing about them and their books?
• Which book festivals are they attending?
• Where do they have their books displayed/stocked?
• What unique promotional tactics are they using successfully?
Find out by studying their media pages, appearances pages, blog posts and reviews posted at their websites and at their Amazon book page, etc. You’ll also want to keep your finger on the pulse of your industry by joining appropriate organizations, reading periodicals related to the theme or genre of your book, subscribing to newsletters on this topic/genre, etc.
Promote Your Book is brimming with book promotion ideas such as this great one and it also helps authors to organize their ideas so they are pertinent and manageable. Buy your copy today in print of Kindle. I believe it is also on the Nook—not sure how to find that out. Anyone got any ideas?
WOW! That sure surprised my eyebrows right into my hairline. Thanks for the kudos and the plug!
