RE: What Do You Need Help With Today? Post Your Problem And I'll Try To Help

Very beautiful that you are doing this. I have a question.

  1. Thought & Color poetry book

I published that book I mentioned a few weeks back. I have very little time to promote the book, but it would be nice to know 3 things you did to announce your book after putting it up on Amazon. I want to try squeezing in at least one marketing action if I can.

I have a <>contest<€ going now where I am giving away 5 copies of the book for thise who use the comments to write a poem. It ends Friday at 12pm and no one has entered or commented.

Sort:  

I did a lot of marketing stuff for my book.

  1. definitely the most productive was my book launch party. The people who showed up for my party all bought a copy. Having a book launch party shows people that you're really committed to your book.
  2. Have a Fiverr gig do a book launch video of your book. I wrote a post about this.
  3. join Goodreads and do a book giveaway on that site.

And then all the pros say this: the best way to market your first book is to write a second one.

With all that said, you might want to read my viral post that has been tweeted by strangers like 10,000 times: https://writingcooperative.com/survival-guide-for-super-newbie-writers-6890413e0684#.35lqn4p4f
