To reach an international audience at any time, it’s essential to create a Web presence. Look for free or low-cost, self-publishing services to help you post your book online. And keep it simple. In short sentences, describe the unique qualities of your self-published book and why it’s a good read or gift. Provide a photo of the cover, brief excerpts from the book and testimonials from readers. Also, include key terms related to your book in your description. This way, potential customers will be able to find your site when conducting online searches for a particular topic. • Conduct Online Marketing. Once you have a Web page to sell your books, enter the site on all of the search engines. Talk about your self-published book on online forums, book clubs, blogs, author communities, and other Web sites catering to your target market of readers. Get involved with social media and add information about your book on Twitter®, http://www.twitter.com, Facebook®, http://www.facebook.com, Flickr®, http://www.flickr.com/ • Take Grassroots Action. Next, hit the streets and visit local bookstores, libraries, coffee shops, book clubs, and more. Ask if you can leave marketing bookmarks, flyers about your self-published books and even copies of your books for readers. Also, give presentations about your book. Look for associations, groups and places where your target audience hangs out and offer to provide valuable information and discounts on your self-published book. You can also combine efforts with a local charity to help a good cause and spread the word about your books. “There are many ways to sell self-published books fast without spending a lot of money,” says Exler. It’s just a matter of having an online presence, telling everyone about your book, having a few key marketing tools, and offering valuable information. It’s takes extra time and effort, but you can be a successful self-published author.” Need help on how to sell your self-published book?
