1st Newspapers, the not-so-local
I am sure you are the local newspapers where you live now to tell them that you have a book, contact. But you probably also local to a certain point – perhaps in several locations. To contact the newspapers in both areas.
They may even be able to “local” be extended to other members of your family. A doctor at a hospital near here, has sold copies of his novel Mother-in-law to raise money for people to increase from a blood disease. The local press has covered not only the story, but wrote an interesting feature on the book. His mother lives right over 200 miles.
2nd Make a copy with you everywhere
Keep a copy of your book with you and see people think. If you have something that does need a free hand, turn the book can be seen so clearly. If you are looking for someone to invite you to catch them to pick it up and your marketing language.
Once bookmarks or postcards available, if they have no money with them, or they have a friend who is interested. At the very least, write down the details for them, even where they can get.
If you can, take an extra copy with you, or at least bookmarks and postcards. You can sell your only copy of the first person to meet you.
3rd Waiting rooms, etc.
in which people sit and wait, what? Doctors, dentists, hairdressers, garages, restaurants, hotels, railway stations and bus … anywhere with a waiting room. See if it is a copy of your book will bring it to their customers to read while they wait. Put a label on the cover, which is on sale at the reception, and bring them to the poster, even if you can. Give them a percentage of every sale.
4th Write to distribute articles or short stories – and
Choose a theme or see an event from your book and make it an article or a short story, if you can get a magazine to publish. It does not matter if they do not pay you can, provided they undertake to print, some details about your book next to her.
Many websites and newsletters have also need the right equipment, but can not afford to pay for it. Anyone can be a few hundred readers, but if some of them your stories and texts to use in addition to many potential buyers.
5th Exchange products and stories of advertising
Another good way to make your articles and stories will be used to exchange disadvantages of advertising space in this paper. You might not be able to pay you, and you may not be able to afford to advertise your book with them. To see if you can come to an arrangement where no money changes hands.
It pays to be flexible here. Bid to delay your ad until the space that they can not fill. Ads you already developed and ready to publish in a variety of sizes – from advertising their services should be able to help you with this. When space is available in the short term, you can place your ad right
6th Get help to other people
You can multiply your marketing efforts bring in others to help you. You could your book as a fundraiser for an organization or group they belong to, used to take – they sell your book and give you a percentage of revenue for their cause. They could also carry copies with them, they take in waiting rooms, or talk about your book and details of all interested parties.
7th The seven
According to marketing experts, that most buyers hear about your book seven times before you buy.
So instead of a lot of publicity in exchange for your article or story, perhaps you could obtain their agreement to a series of smaller ones.
If someone asks your book, try to get their e-mail, and send you more information. But they also make copies of your articles or stories from a few weeks (with a reminder about your book) until you have contacted at least seven times.
See if you have a way to appear in local newspapers (s) to find several times instead of once. Send Follow-up information on the activities of fundraising. announce negotiations, signing, readings and school visits. A report and photos after each event. Make a call to get information for your next book. Offer to write a column. And what you might think.
