Are you writing a book? Do you know how to promote it? What is the most effective book marketing activity for your particular book? Which of your skills should you rely on to promote your book? What skills do you need to hone or develop? How can you best reach your readers? What promotional tactics will your reading audience most likely respond to?
These are all questions you should be asking yourself even before your book is a book. Not only will the answers help you to be more well-prepared for the major, major task of promoting your book, but they will guide you in writing a more viable book for a more realistic audience.
Perhaps you have a published book that is going nowhere. How many copies of your fiction or nonfiction book have you sold in the last month? When is the last time you promoted your book? When did you last go out and speak about it, mention it to someone in passing, write an article or story to submit to a publication read by your audience, send a message about an aspect of your book to your emailing list, sign up for a book festival, do a signing, requested a review…? If you are not doing any of these things, no wonder you aren’t selling books.
Sign up today for my online Book Promotion Workshop and let me help you establish a more effective book promotion program. Sure, your book may be on Amazon. It might be at a couple of bookstores and specialty stores in your neighborhood. You have your own website showcasing your book. These are good moves. But if it isn’t selling, there is much more that you can and should be doing. Let me show you the way.
