How to get nearly free publicity on your own or by partnering with your publisher

After you see what’s included in this book, you’ll agree this is the only book you’ll need….

 

 

 

 

 

 I know my blog post title is probably presumptuous because just as there are many ways to launch a book promotion, many resources exist to help you. I know one book that will undoubtedly guide you through the book promotion maze.

Promote Your Book on a Budget

You’re in a special place: an author ready to market your book. After publication, this tough road lies ahead, forking into marketing your book and promoting yourself as an author. It can be an overwhelming time.

What’s the best way to market? And if you’re on a shoestring budget, how can you get the word out about your work?

Whether you have a huge budget allocated or you’re winging the marketing, there is one book that will help you. Over 400 packed pages of real marketing advice, this is the one book you need to buy: The Frugal Book Promoter: Second Edition: How to get nearly free publicity on your own or by partnering with your publisher. (How to Do It Frugally)

Why do I recommend The Frugal Book Promoter: Second Edition?

First, the author, Carolyn Howard-Johnson, is an award-winning writer and poet. She’s an author advocate, in every sense you can imagine, in which she draws on her experience as a literary writer and as a savvy PR marketer.

Second, she knows the literary world is a tough gig, and she’s poured all her knowledge into this resource.

You’ll find out how to:

  • understand Amazon’s marketplace
  • tap into the big eBook movement
  • promote yourself with blogs and social media
  • design a media package
  • determine the best advertising bang for your bucks
  • understand the real publishing world
  • create impressive query letters
  • promote yourself as an author  and speaker
  • find quality reviewers
  • write a dazzling author bio
  • create an author website
  • and so much more!

The book includes social media marketing, including how to cross-link your promotions, how to create memorable tweets (that garner retweets), and blogging do’s and don’ts.

This second edition includes an 120+ additional pages from the first edition. This isn’t a fluff book to waste your money or time. Every page offers solid marketing advice.

Many authors don’t have big publishing houses or publicists to handle their book launch. That’s the fact for many authors, whether it’s their first book or the fifteenth. Another option is to hire a book promoter, or PR agency, and there are several reputable ones. This book will help you do-it-yourself, whether that’s a true DIY promotion or in conjunction with your publisher.

Plan Your Book Promotion

Immediately after your book is published — or BEFORE if you know you want to do this yourself — buy this book and plan your promotion. It will show you step-by-step on what you need to have in place to launch your book, get traffic, attract readers and earn sales.

In addition to social media marketing, it includes real world examples and offline marketing techniques. Howard-Johnson writes in a conversational and knowledgeable tone, often citing personal anecdotes and quick take-aways. You can’t get lost because she includes clear-cut samples and templates for you to follow.

Most Amazon reviewers rated the book 5 stars and listed it as one of the best resources for authors.

Personal Reasons for Recommendation

For full disclosure, I know the author. I met Carolyn several years ago when I started as a reviewer for MyShelf.com. Our paths have crossed many times over the years. Every time she publishes a book, I’m ready to buy it because I know it’ll be a valuable writers’ resource. I bought the first edition — as well as some of her other books — and after reading it, I knew all authors should have it in their writers’ tool box.

I’ve recommended some of her other books, such as Great Little Editing Tips for Writers and The Great First Impression Book Proposal.

Here’s one more disclosure — a joyous and unexpected surprise – I am referenced in the book for Squidoo marketing tips for authors! I did not know this until after publication, and I’m truly honored! Carolyn is my unofficial mentor, the person who lit a fire under me to take writing seriously, both as an art and a business.

Regardless of my relationship with the author or the joy in being mentioned, I wholeheartedly recommend:
The Frugal Book Promoter: Second Edition: How to get nearly free publicity on your own or by partnering with your publisher. (How to Do It Frugally)

Carolyn Howard-Johnson will lead you through the often confusing maze of book promotion and without spending a fortune! You’ll know the best ways to market your author platform and find your readership.

  • promote yourself as an author  and speaker
  • find quality reviewers
  • write a dazzling author bio
  • create an author website
  • and so much more!

The book includes social media marketing, including how to cross-link your promotions, how to create memorable tweets (that garner retweets), and blogging do’s and don’ts.

This second edition includes an 120+ additional pages from the first edition. This isn’t a fluff book to waste your money or time. Every page offers solid marketing advice.

Many authors don’t have big publishing houses or publicists to handle their book launch. That’s the fact for many authors, whether it’s their first book or the fifteenth. Another option is to hire a book promoter, or PR agency, and there are several reputable ones. This book will help you do-it-yourself, whether that’s a true DIY promotion or in conjunction with your publisher.

Plan Your Book Promotion

Immediately after your book is published — or BEFORE if you know you want to do this yourself — buy this book and plan your promotion. It will show you step-by-step on what you need to have in place to launch your book, get traffic, attract readers and earn sales.

In addition to social media marketing, it includes real world examples and offline marketing techniques. Howard-Johnson writes in a conversational and knowledgeable tone, often citing personal anecdotes and quick take-aways. You can’t get lost because she includes clear-cut samples and templates for you to follow.

Most Amazon reviewers rated the book 5 stars and listed it as one of the best resources for authors.

Personal Reasons for Recommendation

For full disclosure, I know the author. I met Carolyn several years ago when I started as a reviewer for MyShelf.com. Our paths have crossed many times over the years. Every time she publishes a book, I’m ready to buy it because I know it’ll be a valuable writers’ resource. I bought the first edition — as well as some of her other books — and after reading it, I knew all authors should have it in their writers’ tool box.

I’ve recommended some of her other books, such as Great Little Editing Tips for Writers and The Great First Impression Book Proposal.

Here’s one more disclosure — a joyous and unexpected surprise – I am referenced in the book for Squidoo marketing tips for authors! I did not know this until after publication, and I’m truly honored! Carolyn is my unofficial mentor, the person who lit a fire under me to take writing seriously, both as an art and a business.

Regardless of my relationship with the author or the joy in being mentioned, I wholeheartedly recommend:
The Frugal Book Promoter: Second Edition: How to get nearly free publicity on your own or by partnering with your publisher. (How to Do It Frugally)

Carolyn Howard-Johnson will lead you through the often confusing maze of book promotion and without spending a fortune! You’ll know the best ways to market your author platform and find your readership.
