Bestseller: 100 Nearly Free Ways to Market Your Christian Book by Bob and Cheryl Moeller will be up later this week
Sample of the 100 that will launch and rocket your book.
To be published later this week.
78. Age-Group Reach
If your book is for a certain age group, you need to use the appropriate social media to promote your book, depending on their age group. For example, with a younger age group, you could have games on your site. There is a great choice of games to use, such as a crossword puzzle using key words from your book made with an online game maker. You would be surprised how many adults play these games also.
79. Share Your Soul
Show and tell your hobby/ies so potential buyers can know more about you via your social media. Videos of you doing your hobby on your site and social media to help your readers get to know you better. Show your hobby of making your famous jam recipe from hand picked fruits. People like to get to know you as more than just the author of a certain book.
80. Attachment Detachment
An email recipient should not have to click into an attached file to read and see pictures, ads, or event information about your book. Always put such promotional things in the body of the email. Use a 5 to 6 word subject line that would lure intended readers to open your email. Choose your 5 to 6 words for marketability.
81. Automatic E-mail Signature
In your automatic signature on every email include a picture and link to your book and book’s website. Change it up every month to keep eye-catching appeal. We all underestimate the number of people we email everyday who will see this advertising.
82. Your Book in Alumni News
For the alumni updates section in the next issue of your high school, college, or grad school alumni journal, send in your name, year graduated, book’s title, purchase info, and a tidbit about yourself as the author. Also send an article about your book with pictures of you and your book (two to three pages) to be considered for a potential feature article in the alumni magazine.
Bob and Cheryl co-author this easy to use 100 book you will read over and over again.
