It’s Really Hard to Get FREE Promotion on a Nonfiction Book

I’ve written a number of books now, but I still have some of the same problem that I had at the beginning.  Where do you turn for inexpensive alternatives for book promotion.  Most of the sites carry more fiction and occasionally stick a nonfiction one into the mix.  They charge for posting a book, just as much for nonfiction as fiction – even though fiction titles often bring in far more sales.  So, what’s an author to do?  From time to time, I will give you some sites that I’m finding, and I hope you’ll share the ones you think are most effective – either free or a great deal.  I’ll start with my own promo website (not that I’m biased).  PublishingPoints Discount Books offers completely free promotion for nonfiction books.  We offer no support for fiction books

If you submit your book to PublishingPoints, you can expect to have your book promoted on the website, on our daily e-newsletter, on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest.  We hope to eventually expand our services beyond the present ones by having podcast and video interviews with authors to allow them to discuss their books.  We will also have guest blogging by authors (so they can backlink to their landing pages or to a fanpage.  We will set up website directories where you can browse books by topic rather than just using the search bar.  If you would like to submit your book, just click the image above to go to the website, publishingpts.net.  Authors should join the site, then login.  Then, they should be able to click “Promote Your Book.  Provide the requested information and click to submit.  If you have additional questions, just contact me via gary@mgwebb.net.
