Re: How to Promote Your Independently Published Book or Eboo
- Give away copies of your book to your local library and local independent bookstores. If your books sell well, the independent bookstores may want to reorder. Give them a good deal.
- Start a blog dedicated to your book's genre, featuring your book as well as other good writers' books in that same genre.
- Start a local book club or meetup group or writing group and make your book the topic book, among others (don't just promote your book, analyze it).
Those are all of my ideas for now...

I created a website on Wix to promote my books. That way, I have a place to showcase what I've written. When I make business cards, I will have the site established and that's what I think helps the most these days.

That's been the hardest part for me as well.Hurricane John wrote:Promoting your eBook is definitely the hardest part of the self-publishing process. I've had several people read my eBook and personally tell me how much they enjoyed it, but only a small fraction of them will take the time to leave a review, even when asked to do so.
Thanks for sharing your insightful tips.

NAH! Not gonna happen! I would continue to write and self-publish even if no one ever gave me a review. Just because I love it so much! But it IS awfully nice to get words of praise from total strangers who've enjoyed your writing, isn't it?
