Amazon Self-Publishing and Book Promotion

If you’re a self-published author, chances are you want more readers. We all do, and somehow finding more readers and promoting our books is the great and eternal mystery.

How do we get our first 100 readers?

Will anyone else read our work besides our friends and family?

How can we spread the word, rise above the low book sales and learn how to promote our books on Amazon and other vendors?

The Answer?

By focusing our marketing efforts in a spherical way, always trying new and different ways to reach potential readers.

When I took the plunge into self-publishing my books on Amazon and other vendors back in 2013, I didn’t know how to get my first 100 readers. I didn’t even know how to get my first 10 readers.

Sound familiar?

Then you’ve come to the right place. I took the good and bad that I’ve learned over the last several years in self-publishing and created a free email course on book promotion. 

It’s called Marketing for Authors.

In this free course, I explain the steps I took to go from 0 readers to Amazon bestselling author. Here’s what you’ll get in this free course:

  • 7 modules (sent by email over the course of 2 weeks) that go into finding readers, using social media, creating a newsletter and staying in touch with readers, and more.
  • 2 bonuses: a list of all book/author promo Facebook groups you can join AND a listing of book promotion sites where you can list your book for free or for a minor fee. 
  • Open Q&A with me if you have any questions.

Hello all, Yes, it’s been a while. BUT good news: I haven’t been blogging much but I have been #Writing my Elemental Clan Series. So that’s a good thing, but I hope to blog more, even if it’s brief. That being said, thought I would mention, especially to you Indie authors – that IndieCon 2013 is going on this week over on their web site. Here is the link. I enjoyed this online conference last year, and I think they have some valuable info worth sharing. Thanks, and stay tuned for an author promo tomorrow, 6/11, Keri Neal and her release FLIGHTLESS!

Hey all, One of my friends wanted to see these in digital format, so I took photos and am posting them here on my blog. For those who don’t know, Water’s Blood is Book One in an Elementals series I have been writing, and it will be released on 2/1/13. Here are pictures of the cover and the description. I ordered these postcards at gotprint.com, and they were absolutely delightful to deal with. So if you need any stickers, business cards, etc., I would recommend them highly :) Stay tuned for more blogs next week about the upcoming book release!
