My review
I will
start my review with the author’s own words: “Writing a book without promoting
it is like waving to someone in a dark room. You know what have you done but
nobody else does.”
As an author with a released book on the market and two more
in the edit stage, I was extremely interested in reading this How to… type of
book. It's the area where many authors shy away--book promotion. I am pleasantly
impressed as it’s written in an easy to understand and friendly way, explaining
step by step what to do in order to get your book to readers, marketing trends,
and how to make them work to develop your brand as an author and improve sales. It’s intended both for writers who have only a little experience in marketing and public
relations, but a huge amount determination to succeed, as well as for professional writers..
Tips for
Networking and Social Media, Blogging – Tips to attract readers, 30 Book
Marketing Tips, Virtual Book Tour are only a few of the steps every
author self published or published with a publishing house must take. Many writers fall
into the trap where a book is written and assume it'll reach the masses
automatically. As we all know, this isn't the case Staying
aside, doing nothing and waiting people to hear about your “masterpiece” is a
huge mistake that will be mirrored in the big Zero in your sales report. After
each chapter I found myself really thinking about the concept, and trying to
figure out how I could apply it to my situation. I also thought that the advice on Blogging – Tips to attract readers, and How to Generate Sales for a New Released Book and promoting via
Pinterest is better than I read elsewhere.
