The Art Of Book Promotions

Is there a art to promoting books. Yes and it starts with gaining valuable information and following proven marketing techniques. Many times authors just jump into the self promoting river and go for it, usually following what other authors are doing. Other times authors fall into the authors site craze and start joining sites where other authors are all trying to sell their books at. While this may be fun and you might meet some great people online, rarely does it prove to be successful.

Spend sometime online learning, studying and getting information about book promotions. Learn the art of what's working and find out what's not working before you jump into it the self promotions river.

Remember, you didn't write your book overnight and even the editing was a process. Apply that also to book promotions. Do your homework first, get a feel for the market and find out what's best for you as a author and your book. Then, go for it. And above all, make sure that you have your own authors site or blog that showcases you as author, your books and all the right information.

Helping Authors To Promote Their Books

The Art Of Book Promotions

Promoting your books takes on a whole new world once you have published. Many authors attempt to self promote and market their books which can with lots of hard work prove to be successful. If that's you, I highly recommend that you spend some time on-line doing your homework before you start that process. At the very least, you will avoid some pitfalls while gaining lots of information. Plan on investing at least a full week educating yourself before you jump into the process.

However, many authors just don't have 5 to 6 hours each day to spend sitting at their computer online registering and joining sites and communities to attempt to create book buzz. Other times authors spend endless hours joining communities and social networks marketing their books and grow tired of the results only to end up feeling defeated.

If you are in the above frame of mind, contact Smitty at either Author Media Blogs and Book Marketing or Christian Book Marketing.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Smitty in regard to marketing my new release, Flaherty's Crossing. All I can say is every dollar has been well-spent. He is incredibly detailed, professional, and caring. My name, book, and trailer have appeared on hundreds of sites and the exposure has been unbelievable. As a direct result of his tremendous efforts, Flaherty's Crossing has become one of the hottest and most ordered items at Champagne Books.

I truly can't recommend anyone more highly.
