Think Like a Best-Selling Author- Part 1 Create the Buzz
Without the backing of a big name publisher, you need to immediately implement powerful, no-holds barred, book marketing strategies which are designed to sell your books quickly. The best advice is to market your book everyday. Any original book marketing idea you have that does not take away from the integrity of your work, use it.
The truth is, you can have a really fabulous book, but if know one knows your book is about to be released, then you won't have a buzz. If you don't create a buzz, then there isn't any anticipation. No anticipation means it makes it just that much harder to sell your book when it is released.
Thank goodness for the internet. The internet is one of the best ways to create a buzz about your new book. The most surefire way to create that buzz is by implementing the following pre-promotion plan:
A. Get a website for your book or an author's website about you the author.
B. Start a Blog and add it to your website: Start blogging about your book. If your book is on a particular subject matter, then Blog about that subject matter. Tell your blogging subscribers or readers about your experiences in writing your book. A Blog is simply a weblogged journal. Journaling about your experiences writing the book is a way to create a buzz.
C. Write Articles. Write articles and submit them to article directories about your book. You can write articles about the subject matter or you can write articles about book marketing, writing a book, or being a self-published author. In your author's resource box or bio box, you can include a link to your website.
D. Write a small ebook with the first two chapters of your book included. Give the ebook away to people who agree to join your email or mailing list. Now, you have a list of interested people to purchase your book once it has been released.
With these book marketing strategies, you are sure to create a buzz about your book and tap into your target market for more sales once your book is released.
