How to Promote Your Independently Published Book or Ebook

[Andeemomm]

Live and learn. I have published via Amazon my first novel in ebook format and in paperback. Despite Amazon´s editorial suggestions and my husbands scanning it for mistakes it was published with many grammatical issues. Now my Mother, who worked as a copyright soecialist for songwriter´s in Nashville is taking over and we will reissue the revised edition soon. While the tedious details are being addressed I am busy starting a sequel.

Thank you for this helpful article. Just an FYI - Spell Check - I think you mean "boulder" in the following sentences...
your promotion efforts need to be the analogue of giving a bolder at the top of a steep hill a strong nudge. Even if your book is not totally awful, you will still be futilely trying to roll a big bolder up a steep ice-hill

These tips are already widely known, but I guess they were good back in 2011.
Thanks for the thread though!

1 comment: Starting a launch team is also a great idea to generate publicity. They can help you build interviews and such.

And 2 a question: The rules state that readers can't have projects reviewed,right? Or has the rule changed or something?

I have another suggestion. You could also start a blog long before you publish your book to get a small following and some interest in it.

On Amzon, giving the book for totally free for some period or at a reduced price is also a good way to promote the book. During that time some who would not spend money on a book will buy it and you will get free advertising via them, if your book is good

This is all such helpful advice. I'm not anywhere near ready to self-publish, but the goal is to be there within a year.

Shouldn't it be, "Advertise only the good and partially good reviews"? Advertising the very bad ones might be counter-productive, or don't you think so?

Thank you for an informative article. I am currently working on a book to self-publish, and I would love to have it reviewed by the Online Book Club members one day.

I was charged 40$ for posting a book at Amazon. I earned 10$ by selling so result is -30$
