Posted By Jasper Longfellow on September 2, 2010
As the author or contributor to a book you are in a unique position to generate interest in your work, and to utilise all possible marketing opportunities.
Many authors don’t realise that chances exist on an everyday level to promote their book, without necessarily making lots of extra work for themselves. Here we give some ideas to help out authors identify and use such opportunities to promote their own book. Remember that for the majority of self published authors, the more you put into the marketing yourself, the more rewards you can reap.
Article writing is essentially marketing a product or website via the medium of articles written on the Internet. It can be done for free, as most article directories will allow you submit quality content to their databases for free.
All article marketing books agree that It’s a great way to get exposure to a product/website as normally article directories have great rankings with major search engines such as Google, and they also have thousands of loyal follows always look for information. Article directories such as Ezinearticles.com will in most cases allow you to submit a free article that could potentially rank on the front page of Google very fast if you have done a few of the basic article writing principles.
Think Local
What about contacting local parish magazines or community newsletters? Try cultivating a relationship with local libraries. Are they able to help by placing information on a notice board, in the window or by arranging a reading event? Contact local writers’ or readers’ groups and offer to speak about your experiences of writing and publishing. Offer the book as a recommendation for readers’ groups and go along to talk about it (this can be valuable process for you as an author as well, receiving feedback on your work). What about putting yourself forward as an after dinner speaker?
