Are you a Reluctant Marketer for your Book?

 
Do you avoid the social and selling aspects of self-publishing and promotion?  Discover an easy and free way to promote your book.  It’s still the #1 top way: writing and submitting articles to eZines and web sites in your field and having a link to your book order page.  Follow the Internet way — give your article away as samples, so people will want to visit the site where you sell your book.

Here some tips for your articles:

  • Use your book’s chapter excerpts
  • Keep your articles around 300-600 words each
  • Keep your article focused on just one thesis or point
  • Number the main points; people love easy-to-read tips
  • Leverage one article into three. Change your audience
  • Create a hook for a two or three-sentence introduction. Always good are questions to engage readers
  • Remember: free information is the reason why people go to web sites, so put your articles there as well as in a blog
