How to Promote a Book without Spending a Fortune

Many of my readers are new authors.  Many have poured their hearts and minds into an effort that is new to them, but where they have felt driven by passion.  That might sound a little strange to those who know that I tend to support more nonfiction authors instead of the supposed “creative writing” authors. I personally believe it requires creativity and imagination to produce anything of value.  However, I also believe that isn’t enough.  Whether you write novels or self-help books, it takes more than just getting words together to tell a story or communicate solid answers to people’s needs.  You need to work just as hard or harder to bring that book to market.

Just putting your book on Amazon doesn’t mean that it will sell even one copy beyond your mom and closest friends.  Let’s face it.  Even your mom might not read the book she buys!

My newest book, Book 3 of the Prepare! Publish! Promote! series will focus on ways to develop an inexpensive marketing strategy and also tips for using specific tools such as Facebook, Twitter or other social media as well as paid and no cost book promotion websites.  It will cover how to use the internal resources that Amazon provides for marketing your books.
