Book marketing spoke #1: Get booked on radio shows as the guest interview in as many markets as possible and the bigger the market in terms of population, the better. The idea is for you to reach as many people as quickly as possible.

Book marketing spoke #2: Be sure you are optimized on all of the online bookseller such as Amazon. Create your author page on Amazon and buy all of the up sells, that is, the bells and whistles offered by Amazon to help you market your book.

Book marketing spoke #3: Have a book launch party. Book parties are lots of fun and get the word of mouth going in your community.
