Book Marketing For Self Published Authors

Writing your book doesn't mean your work is finished there. You need a proper book marketing plan as a self-published author.

Here are the steps you can take to market your book and sell more copies of your book(s).

Is your book the best?

With so many tools available now, writers today are tempted to get their book out in the stores immediately. One thing they miss out is the proper editing, revising the plot, and it takes research.

For example, if you would check out the successful authors out there, they take years to write their novels.

You may be a great storyteller, you might not be a great editor. It's the best thing to have that feedback and get your story edited by a professional.

Spread the word

This is not about your book alone, but for you as an author. If people don't know that you are a writer, they will never relate your personality as being the one.

Book Marketing is often kick-started with your network. You as a self-published author have to create that platform of your readers, supporters, followers so that you can build your audience.

Now there are several ways you can use to build the platform to market your book -

- Website/Blog - Yes. A blog is the best to invest in. Your book marketing journey can have a big impact on your website/blog.

A SHORT WALK ON THE MEMORY LANE

Nostalgia is both an ache and a draught, a draught more aptly as it provides the required energy to the wistful heart and patiently remains one’s undeterred friend during lonesome times and even transporting one to the blissful world of memories far away from the tension-ridden beguiling present.
