Do you have a book to promote? I have been preaching for years and years about my favorite way of promoting a book\u2014writing articles or stories for publication. And lately, I\u2019ve been noticing that other publishing\/book marketing professionals are also urging authors to promote through articles and stories in targeted publications.<\/p>\n
Whether your book is scientific in nature, a business book, how-to or self-help book or an informational\/reference book, you gain more and more credibility in your area every time you publish an article related to the topic of your interest or expertise. And you attract more readers for your book. <\/p>\n
For a novel, memoir or children\u2019s book, the key is to submit stories in your genre or area of your book\u2019s interest to appropriate publications. In so doing, you are reaching your audience\u2014readers who are interested in your genre or subject matter. The more often they see your name connected to stories they enjoy reading, the more apt they are to purchase your book.<\/p>\n
Haven\u2019t you experienced this yourself? You keep seeing a particular author\u2019s name in the ezines and magazines you read and at the websites you visit. You like what he has to say and you begin to seek out articles by him. Soon you consider him fairly credible and you become interested in, perhaps, reading his book.<\/p>\n
If you enjoy reading fiction, you probably have favorite authors. Some of them you may have discovered through the stories they have published in the publications you read.<\/p>\n
Having your work published in periodicals\u2014both print and online\u2014is a proven method of building a platform\u2014a following. And I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n
If you are not sure how to approach the article or story market, do I have an opportunity for you! <\/p>\n
