Sunday, we talked about hiring people to help us out with our writing businesses\u2014and if you are writing a book for publication, you are in business. Many authors also hire people to help them promote the book. Book promotion is a huge time and energy commitment. But there are numbers of tasks you can hire out. Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n
1: Hire someone to help you design and create promotional materials to hand out and send out. You always want to leave someone with something to remind them of your book.<\/p>\n
2: Ask friends and acquaintances with blogs that address your book\u2019s audience to interview you for their blogs or feature your book.<\/p>\n
3: Ask friends in other parts of the US to approach booksellers and specialty store merchants in their area about carrying your book in their stores. Pay a commission.<\/p>\n
4: Hire a publicist. This could be an experienced publicist or a friend with time on his\/her hands or who is extremely organized and accomplished and has a knack for promotion and marketing.<\/p>\n
5: Brainstorm with other authors and marketing people over wine about how to promote this book.<\/p>\n
6: Ask a friend or acquaintance to put up a display of your books in their store on a trial basis.<\/p>\n
7: Purchase space in other authors\u2019 mailings and emailings.<\/p>\n
8: Hire someone to sell your book at book festivals in communities outside yours.<\/p>\n
As you can see, there are many scenarios where you can hire someone to help with your book promotion. And there are a lot of people seeking extra work. I\u2019d like you to share some of those you have used successfully.<\/p>\n
