Self-publishing a book is something that requires
balance in all aspects.
  • Self-publishing a book is something that
    requires balance in all aspects.  It requires
    good promotion and marketing for a book to be
    known in the market and therefore, increase its
    sales.  But how could you have a well-rounded
    marketing plan if you have limited sources?  Most
    self-published authors would have to work with a
    limited budget.

Maximize the internet
  • You can start talking about your book in blogs. 
    You can also start joining discussion groups
    about books.  There are readers and book
    enthusiasts that are eager to discover good
    self-published book.  There are different
    websites that posts book reviews online.  You can
    ask them if they would like to do a review of
    your book.

  • This would give your book an opportunity to be
    rated and promoted at the same time.
  • But you have to remember to be conscious when
    posting about your book, you do not want to sound
    fresh out of the Yellow Pages.  You can answer
    their inquiries and at the same time provide some
    information about your book.  You can even create
    your own website.

Attend writer conventions, conferences, and other
events
  • Another cost-efficient way to promote your book
    is to attend writer conventions, conferences, and
    other events.
  • Just make sure that you would have business cards
    with you and ready to take contact information
    for possible contact people.
  • If you feel that there are no conventions or any
    events that you can go to, then why not bring the
    event to you and your book?  You can organize
    book talks, whether it is a small or a big event,
    the important thing is that you have done
    something.
  • You can talk to colleges and libraries if it is
    possible for you to host readings or local
    literary events.  You do not have to spend a lot
    of money to host activities.

5
Write a press release
  • Another easy marketing tip the self-publishing
    authors could do is write a press release.
  • A press release should contain the description of
    the book, written in a way that would draw the
    interest of different media outlets.  If you have
    no experience in writing press releases, then
    there are many websites that could help you write
    press releases.

6
Use the power of online distribution
  • Do not underestimate the power of online
    distribution, you can have your book in Amazon or
    any other similar websites.  This would help you
    promote your book.

7
Ask friends and relatives to read and promote
your book
  • Also, do not forget that nobody could spread the
    word faster than friends, relatives and family. 
    Make sure that they read the book and promote it
    for you.  News spread fast. Click here to find
    out.

Have a business card anywhere you go
  • Another fact is that there are some people who
    are very excited on knowing that you are an
    author, so they would buy a book and put it into
    their shelves and actually say that they know the
    writer.  There is nothing wrong in taking
    advantage of that way of thinking.  So make sure
    that you have a business card anywhere you go. 
    Also include the book information in your book,
    so they would get the idea that you are an
    author.
  •  
  • Marketing and promotion is not something that you
    can do successfully overnight.  Whether you are
    into self-publishing your book or a publishing
    house is doing it for you, nothing is wrong if
    you would be promoting your book.  You would also
    have to remember that promoting a book is
    something that would require patience,
    persistence and enthusiasm.
