When should you start promoting your book? I say, while you\u2019re writing it. That\u2019s right; you should be building promotion into your book during the writing process. How?<\/p>\n
1: Include a lot of people in your book. Most of them will purchase your book and tell their friends and acquaintances about it.<\/p>\n
For nonfiction:
\n\u2022\tQuote experts and interview people who have experiences related to the topic of your book (raising feral kittens, caring for an Alzheimer\u2019s patient, hiking after the age of fifty, recycling, cycling, fishing certain lakes or losing weight, for example.)<\/p>\n
\u2022\tList the people you interviewed in the book as well as the agencies and other entities that provided information, stats, facts, etc.<\/p>\n
For nonfiction and fiction:
\n\u2022\tGather endorsements for your book and print them on the back cover and perhaps inside the book, as well. <\/p>\n
2: Offer something of interest to a variety of readers. For nonfiction, you might have a large audience base among readers seeking help managing diabetes, struggling with self-image issues or wanting help with self-publishing, for example. For fiction, you might have a large readership for your science fiction, chic lit or techno-thriller book. But you can increase your audience by adding something more.<\/p>\n
For nonfiction:
\n\u2022\tGive your book more than one aspect\u2014add a self-help angle to your healing memoir, for example, a how-to focus for your informational book or a workbook feature to enhance your how-to book.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tPromote one or more products, companies, organizations or causes in your book (with permission), and possibly get added support, influence or help when promoting your book.<\/p>\n
For Fiction:
\n\u2022\tAdd elements to your historical novel, young adult thriller or adventure novel, for example, that will appeal to a wider audience. What is in, what\u2019s hot, what\u2019s on people\u2019s minds? Incorporate some of these things into your novel. Give a character autism, a designer dog or a bent toward political cynicism, for example. Those people who don\u2019t typically read historical novels, might be interested in one with a character who thinks like he does or who has an affliction he is familiar with.<\/p>\n
The most important thing you can do while writing your book is to always write with your particular audience in mind. Ask yourself all along the way, \u201cWill readers understand this comment?\u201d \u201cDoes this segue make sense?\u201d \u201cIs this scene easy to follow?\u201d Make sure that you do not lose your audience\u2014leave them behind, confuse them or lie to them. <\/p>\n
