Yes, thanks for sharing, @daeus-lamb. Every little bit helps. What’s the name of your novel? Is it still available?

@zee I feel similar. I’m not published, but marketing feels so nebulous and impossible- shouting into the void. Exactly.
@daeus-lamb Thanks for the resources!

@zee A novel I self-published several years ago was kinda like that. 😄I’ll just name drop my favorite resources on marketing and self-publishing.
. Absolutely anything by David Gaughran.
. Kindleprenuer.com
. It’s been a long time, but I remember Tim Grahl’s book’s standing out.
. The Novel Marketing Podcast!!!
And this is something going on…[Read more]

As a recently (self) published author, I’m still trying to get my head around the concept of promoting/marketing my books.
Yes, I’ve sold a few books, but I don’t have a clear plan for how to go about getting them into the hands (or rather, onto the screens) of more readers. So far, all that I have done feels a bit like shouting into the…[Read more]

You should never pay for traditional publishing. If you pay, 99% chance it’s a scam.

Hobbitchild started the topic Last Day to Get my Free eBook! in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 5 years, 10 months ago
Hey, everyone!
Just want to let you all know that tomorrow is the last day of my five-day free book promotion! It’s so cool to see all the interest in it. I’ve been working on the book for about two years, so if no one cared that would be discouraging, to say the least. But several writers have responded to say they would read it across dif…[Read more]

I like Lizzy’s thoughts. Honestly, I would try not to feel much pressure to make any immediate decisions on what you want your account to be. Instead, I’d just get an account, follow people you care about or find interesting, experiment with different kinds of posts, and see what sticks and what feels the most like “the real you” so to speak and…[Read more]

Sarahfi replied to the topic Instagram/Bookstagram Help! in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 5 years, 10 months ago
That is really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to lay that out. I think probably I won’t start Bookstagram yet, just so that I won’t feel forced into it.

Zee replied to the topic A Little Help with Free Marketing? in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 5 years, 10 months ago
Actually, @hobbitchild, it is ok to provide a free book in exchange for a review. This is such standard practice that Amazon allows it. However, the reviewer should indicate that he received a free copy for review purposes as opposed to buying one.
If you’re looking for potential reviewers, try BookSirens or IndieReviews. But as you may already…[Read more]

Instagram does have its merits for a marketing tool, and it can be fun to be a part of the bookstagram community. But feeling pressured into getting it is…not so fun. Please don’t feel like you absolutely have to get on or do a bookstagram, and even if you do decide to get on, it’s your account. You don’t /have/ to post every day if you don’t…[Read more]
