Copywriting Tips8 Easy Online Route to Market Your Book For Free

Regina Paul
Marketing your book whether you went the POD, e-book, or traditional way can be a discouraging
process. Computation out what works and what doesn’t can take time, energy, and if you’re not careful a lot of money. Once
I 1st self-published my science fiction novel Deed OUT ALIVE, I had already done quite a bit of research into route to market my novel that didn’t eat into my pocket book.
Here are the top 8 route I’ve marketed my book and seen results:
*Create a presence on the web. There are many a route to do this, but having your own website to promote your writing is the better way. There are lots of places that have free webpages, but Bravenet.com has everything you could ever want (webjournals, tell-a-friend service, guestbook, and mailing lists to name a few) and this includes free hosting.
*Sign different author’s guestbooks. The author is not the only one who reads the entries, and do sure you add your website address even as if they don’t give you a spot to put it. Put it at a lower place your name once
you sign your entry.
*Be a regular on message boards, answer newbie’s questions, and don’t forget to add your name with your website address. The important thing to remember here is to pop in on a regular basis, otherwise it looks like the only reason you’re there is advertise, and participants won’t take you seriously.
*Join writers groups online and post, post, post! That’s not to say you should inundate any group with advertising e-mails simply about your book, but rather to participate in the discussions. If you have a name line at the end of your e-mails this wish do your advertising for you.
*Speaking of name lines, create one and add it to all of your e-mails. This is one of my favorite freebies. Folk do see name lines and I have really ordered books because I found them via the name line.
*Give away free PDF electronic versions of your book (not too many a now, simply 2 or 3) in return for reviews. This has worked really well for me, and I’ve gotten several nice reviews from doing this. Readers like free and are commonly much than willing to write a review in return.
*Trade electronic versions of your book with different publicised authors and do a review for each other.
*Once you have reviews post them on your website and anyplace
else you can. There are many a places to post reviews for free, simply search on google for book reviews. See if your reviewers wish post their reviews for you at these websites.
