5 Sure-Fire Ways Market Your Self-Published Book
By Eva Torsun

The concept of self-publishing is not new at all. Many authors self-published their books every year but very few of them are successful in selling their copies. Writing needs a lot of time and efforts. Authors don't want to ruin their time and efforts they put in writing. To get the attention of readers there are many marketing strategies adopted by various authors.

The dream of every author is to get into the list of best sellers. To make the dream come true many tries hard but not always get successful. Marketing is the main strategy to get more sales and public attention. Marketing a self-published book needs a lot of hard work. The wrong strategies can ruin your whole efforts. The top ways through which you can market successfully will be discussed in this blog.

A best seller doesn't mean that it is written quite well. It is true that a good story attracts readers but marketing is the key to get more sales on the board. The top ways that can help you to market your book successfully are discussed below.
Get in Stores

Book stores are a great way to market your self-published book. Your book kept in the shop display shelving will surely attract the readers. You can directly contact the librarians and bookstores via email to discuss your book. You will also need to contact the wholesalers who provide books to the stores. The top wholesalers are

    Ingram
    Baker & Taylor
    America West
    Broadart
    Follet

Plan Launch According to Your Goals

You need to identify your goals of launching your self-published book. Many authors want to get into the New York Times' best-seller list. This could be hard but not impossible. A new writer still has chances to get into the list. You need to sale thousands of copies from the vendors that directly reports to the New York Times. Do the promotion according to your goals and you will achieve the desired results.
Engage Your Audience

Engaging the audience means to let them know about your self-published book and about yourself. The description of an author describes the material right in the book. For example, the writer is a content creator and written book on how to be a successful content writer than surely a reader will know which type of material will be there in its book. Running a blog will help you to market and engage the audience.

Make Trailer

As it is said that people judge on what they see therefore it is necessary for you to create a positive impact by producing a book trailer for your self-publication. Your book trailer can get viral which can bring more sales.
Use Social Media to Market

Using the social media platform is the best way to market your self-published book. Remember that selling and marketing are both different things so don't get confused between them. Before listing your book on Amazon or anywhere else try to get known by your readers. You can simply run the adds telling about your experience in a certain field. Also, try to get into the watt pad groups where you will find a lot of potential readers.
