The Best Ways To Market Your Book

‘Best Selling Author’ has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? But this title isn’t given to just any author. For you to be a best-selling author, you have to have a book that sells well. Writing and publishing a book isn’t the end of the road if you want to be a renowned author. After publishing your book, you want to ensure that your story lives on; you want that story to reach as many people as possible so that the idea you put out can be shared to a wide audience.

When you want to market your book, one of the first words that come to mind is ‘promotion’. You want to promote your book to more people. The point of book promotion is to get more people to find your book. And when more people find your book, more copies can be sold.

Some of the best was to market your book include:

Have a marketing team.
Pricing.
Maintain a website
Use social media

Have a marketing team

If you launch your book without a marketing plan, you won’t get as much people to buy and read it. Your marketing team should be made up of a team of people who love the story you are telling and want to see it fly. You can’t handle everything so this team will step in to spread the word about your book, its launch, what it is about and all other relevant information.

Pricing

Believe it or not, the price of your book will determine how much it sells. Before you fix a price, you need to have studied your audience; are they young adults, parents, business people? A college student won’t have the same income as someone working in a huge company. The story or idea in your book will determine the audience and your audience will determine your pricing.

Maintain a website

Readers like to know about the author of the book they are reading. Create and maintain an author website where you can tell your audience more about you. And to build the hype about your book, you can post blogs about your upcoming book, put up a countdown timer to the launch of your book, and create a relationship with your audience by communicating with them through your subscribers list. There are a number of things you can do with your own website and all of this serves to further market your book.

Use social media

Social media is a great marketing tool as it is widely used by people all over the world. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. are all social media platforms you can advertise on. Choose one or two platforms you can handle and work with that. You can put teasers of your book on your social media page to give people an idea of what your book is about. If someone gives a good review of your book, you can share that on social media so that people can see what others think about your book.

The importance of proper marketing cannot be understated and our marketing team at Pataskity Publishing Company is invested in turning your book into a best seller
