Social media is\none of the most powerful marketing weapons of today, and it\u2019s\ncompletely free of charge. It\u2019s exactly what you need to start\npromoting yourself as an author and building an audience for your\nbook promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, you\nneed to set up accounts on social media such as Facebook, Instagram,\nand Twitter. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make it about you\nas a writer and build the grounds<\/strong> for your future book\npromotions. Start building your audience by inviting friends and\nfamily to like and share your page. Then slowly move on to inviting\nother people who might be interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you have a base of followers, you\u2019re ready for the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Sponsored Ads <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Social media ads and promotions<\/a> are easy to launch and you can go a long way with a low budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere\u2019 how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- create a\n\tpost about your new book and how to purchase it\n\t<\/li>
- promote it\n\tby creating an ad\n\t<\/li>
- select the\n\ttarget audience<\/strong> by choosing the age, gender and location of\n\tpotential buyers\n\t<\/li>
- choose the\n\tbudget you\u2019re ready to invest \n\t\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
For not more than 30$, you can have the ad running for a couple of weeks and reach thousands of people. It perfect for self-financed book promotions and beginner writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Contact Book Clubs <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You have to be\naware that if you don\u2019t reach out to people, you won\u2019t get very\nfar. Sitting around and waiting for them to find you is not the best\nsolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Book clubs are\nexcellent places to find people who enjoy reading and who might just\nlike your book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See if you can reach out to a couple of book clubs and give them a copy of your book. If they like it, they might spread the word and help you strive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Email Marketing <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another form of\nfree yet successful marketing is email marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By sending your\npotential customers a direct email about your new book and where to\nfind it, you\u2019re increasing the chances of people buying it and\nfalling in love with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, this\nis what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- write an\n\temail containing information about your new book\n\t<\/li>
- make it\n\tconcise and to the point\n\t<\/li>
- make it easy\n\tto skim, otherwise, people won\u2019t read it\n\t<\/li>
- add a link\n\treading directly to purchasing the book\n\t<\/li>
- send it to\n\tyour email list\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Try making the\nemail as short but intriguing as possible. Give your readers a reason\nto click the link and hope for the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Set up a Contest <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Social Media contests are killing the marketing game these days. They are completely free of charge but bring you the publicity<\/a> you\u2019ve always wanted to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s how it\nworks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- publish a\n\tcontest on your social media\n\t<\/li>
- set the\n\trules: in order to participate a person needs to like your page, tag\n\ta friend<\/strong> in the comments, like your post etc.\n\t<\/li>
- set the date\n\tfor choosing the winner\n\t<\/li>
- the prize is\n\ta copy of your new, just realized book\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeople who participate and tag their friends are promoting you on a whole new level. All you have to do is give your book as the prize\u201d says Dina Indelicato, a blogger, and writer at PickWriters<\/a>. \u201cTherefore, you\u2019re the actual winner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n6. Influencer Marketing <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Influencers are\npeople who have their own base of social media followers. They can be\nanything from bloggers, actors, photographers, and chefs to\nbeauticians and hair salon owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make it clear,\nwe\u2019re not talking about influencers with millions of followers. You\nwould need a much serious budget for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re talking about local influencers<\/a> with several thousand followers who you could make a deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor example, if\nyou\u2019ve released a book about cooking, you could find a food blogger\nto mention it in their blog or social media posts. In return, you\u2019ll\ndo the same for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neither of you has to spend any money and you both win new followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
