Where to go for marketing your book
If you’re like a lot of writers you’re likely frustrated at trying to get your work out there before readers, and ultimately, sold to the masses.
Where do you go for the best push for your book or books? Facebook? Twitter? Maybe you’ve considered hiring a publicity person to market your work for you? I have no definitive answers, but I’ve done my share of reading and perusing the latest books on marketing.
What’s the best book out there? Hard to say. I will say a few in the bunch are a little more entertaining than others. Pamela Fagan Hutchins’s What Kind of Loser Indie Publishes, for example, was one of the more delightful reads. She’s funny and brassy at the same time – a real down-home Texan gal.
The different books I list cover a realm of topics, from finding the right keywords on Amazon for your books, to choosing the right covers. No guys and girls, you can’t judge a book by its cover, but an attractive cover can indeed lure more readers.
I found little nuggets of valuable gold in each of the books here. I have them all on my Kindle, and I can refer back to them from time to time when I’m stuck on a marketing question.
Marketing your book can be an utterly frustrating experience, but a learning one at the same time. Of course, writing the best book you possibly can write goes a long way toward success.
Keep your writing dreams alive.
