Finest Practices for Promoting Your E-book

By Kim Chavez


You will find many ways in which writers and authors are profitably promoting their books even before they start working on the book. So by the time the book is completed and ready to hit the market, everyone knows about the book. How do they do that? Create a webpage for your book which should be very creative and should be unique. It should have all the information that is related to the book. The simplest way to create interest among your target readers is to make them know what is going to happen. And how it is possible to do it? Upload some chapters in your webpage. Once the targeted audience read those chapters then the interest is surely going to increase and the curiosity of knowing what happens next will make them read your book fully and the interest will be there for all your readers.

It is possible to choose different modes of promoting the website. Use social media to do the promotion and use as a lot of key words as possible in order to be available in search engine maximum number of times. Always remember the best critic is your audience. And it is better to have one person who tells you what he really feels about your (good or bad) rather than have ten friends who just praise you because you are their friend. So ask your readers for honest feed backs and if the feed backs point some negatives then don't go on the defensive. Take it as some more learning. Make sure that you include the good and favourable comments that you have received from your reader, in your book. That is the best kind of advertisement from your reader for you.

If possible take the help of media and try to have a mail room created for you. Create a situation where the readers can share their ideas and articles and take benefit of your experience. I have seen many writers who have provided their email address and twitter address so that their readers can contact them. And those writers actually help their readers.

That creates a situation of trust and increases your fan following. Try to give them special offers. It is not important to do it for all. You don't need to do it for everybody. Have an email newsletter and get it distrusted to all your readers of all levels. The details in it should be generic and ought to be having all the information that is very meaningful.

Make sure that there is no gap between the two newsletters. Do not let the frequency of the mail come down. Make sure that wherever possible you add your URL information in your signature. The more people see your URL the more they is going to be curious to see it and the more they will be remembering it. Try to add your URL in your mail signature.
