Book distribution tips for aspiring and known authors? Market Your Book: If you aren’t a major public figure, it’s unrealistic to think you can publish your book and the world will just stumble upon it. Making sure your book metadata is as good as it can be is one way for people to discover your book organically online, but you still have to promote your book in order for it to succeed. You can do this via guerrilla marketing efforts, book reviews, book publicity, social media advertising, and so much more. Be sure to plan your book promotion and get a handle on your book marketing strategy before you publish your book for the best results.
Use your email: A simple email letter with an image of your book can be an effective promotional tool to your friends and family. Encourage them to forward the notice to their friends about your book or create a signature line which includes a link to purchasing your book or a small graphic of the cover. Write an Online article: The Internet is a great place to post information. You can reach hundreds of thousands of people by getting the word out about your book. You can submit your press release to places like prleap.com, pr.com or prweb.com, where it is possible your article may also be picked up by regular media.
Keep going, even if you hit trouble. Barbara Freethy, author of more than 20 self-published contemporary romance books, advises writers not to give up when things get tough: I’ve been tempted to quit in the middle of writing a book, because the next story always seems easier and more exciting. But I’m usually pretty disciplined, and once I get into a story, I find a way to write through the tough times. Every novel has ups and downs, and every writer has to climb over obstacles whether it’s in the outlining or the actual writing. So if you have a story to tell, don’t give up.
