Topic: Marketing Your Book

What do you do to market your book? If yours is an independently published book, like my first book, you have to do much of the marketing yourself.

I had a book signing yesterday with 29 other authors. Most did nothing innovative, but the lady I shared a table with was unbelievable. That's what got me thinking about this topic. The holidays are coming, and it's a good time to get your book in the hands of readers.

Here's one I did last year, with some success, and will repeat again this year.

I advertise on Facebook and at signings that I can offer a unique holiday gift. I will mail a signed book as a gift from you. The price includes the book, tax, domestic mailing anywhere in the US, a signed card and a give-away. All the customer has to do is contact me, and it's taken care of.

Any other ideas to share?

You might tell us HOW the lady at the table with you was so unbelievable in her innovation. Or is that a trade secret? Take care. Vern

She was extremely aggressive and literally ran after customers. She was very persuasive in her hooking customers. That was not my question, and perhaps I should have omitted it. I'm interested in what you do.

I was just curious about her methods for future reference as I don't have anything published at the moment. I do have some novel ideas I will share once I have tested them at some future date, hopefully. Take care. Vern
