To help you get going, the greatest piece of advice I can give you is to start marketing early on. This then gives you enough time to try out and test multiple methods of marketing. You have time to build mailing lists, social network contacts, authors name, reviewers and supporters so when you finally get to the stage when your book is ready to go, you can instantly release it to the masses.<\/p>\n
Newsletter Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n Creating a mailing list is one of the best ways to get your book to the masses. Start small by releasing a monthly, or even weekly newsletter that can connect with people and really helps to get your potential readers and reviewers involved in your upcoming project. From there, you can use software packages such as Mailchimp<\/a> that enable you to turn visitors into your website into readers and newsletter subscribers. You can use tools such as Big Assignments<\/a> to write your newsletters for you, especially if you\u2019re short on time writing your book. <\/p>\n Remember That Perfection Is Key<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re working on your book, your newsletter, website content or anything that you are writing, as an author, your content has got to be spot on at all times. This means that you\u2019ve got to edit and proofread everything that you write to ensure its accuracy. As a writer, if someone notices an error in your work, they are instantly going to be turned away due to the overall quality.<\/p>\n If you find that you\u2019re running out of time, there are a vast wealth of sites that can help you. After the Deadline<\/a> and Ox Essays<\/a> are some of the most popular tools on the internet.<\/p>\n Get Help If You Need It<\/strong><\/p>\n As with any major project, working in a team is far better than going it alone. Whether you\u2019re editing your book, your tweets, your website, or whatever it is that you\u2019re working on, contact an editor at EFA, or use the online communities at Paper Fellows<\/a> to ask for advice, reviews or help when it comes to creating content. The more people you have on board, the easier it will be to carry certain tasks, allowing you more time to concentrate on the more important aspects of your work.<\/p>\n Create a Marketing Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n The final stage of marketing as a first-time author is to create a simple, accessible marketing media kit for yourself that will include everything you need to market yourself and your book when you need it. This kit should include professionally printed business cards, a high-quality headshot of yourself, a 100-150-word biography on yourself and a one-sheet description of your book. To help you out, there are several tools that can make this process quicker and easier.<\/p>\n You can use apps such as Photofunia<\/a> to edit your images, head shots and book covers to ensure they are the highest quality possible. You can have your biographies and book descriptions written by a professional writer on a service such as Resumention<\/a> because as we all know, it\u2019s always so difficult to write about yourself, best-selling author in the making or not.<\/p>\n About Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n Brenda Berg is a professional with over 15 years experience in business management, marketing and entrepreneurship.
