Tips
- Showcase your book on Writers’ Reveal!
- Create your own website page dedicated to your book or work that will also be linked up to our site
- Create your own page on social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and others that are around. Alternatively, create your own Blog and submit it to search engines.
- Ask family and friends to help spread the word on your new book. Recommendations after all, are the best form of advertising.
- Create folding business cards featuring a jpeg of the book cover on the front and have carefully enticing blurb that will capture their imagination!
Also feature where your book can be purchased or sample chapters read – such as on Writers’ Reveal.
- Keep a copy of your book on you whenever you can. Even though you know your own book inside out, you can easily promote it to others. How? We hear you ask.
If you travel on public transport to work, simply read your book in front of others! People will be intrigued just by seeing your book cover and will be even more curious if they see you looking engrossed, perhaps with the occasional smile!
- Write a press release and send it to all your local newspapers and magazines and even contact your local radio station. Ask yourself – what would make your book stand out more from the others?
- Consider promotional printing sites such as Vistaprint that will offer many ways in which you can help promote your book in enterprising ways.
- Contact your local bookstore manager and ask if they will carry your book for you as a local author. You could ask if they would hold a book signing for you – then contact your local media, then ask everyone you know to turn up on the day and create a buzz for your book.
- Ask people you know that have read your book to post reviews on sites such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
- Contact reading clubs and groups, local schools and libraries. If you have any promotional items printed up featuring your book, this would be the opportunity to distribute them to your chosen audience.
