Ideas for Promoting Your Book
Book promotion comes in all shapes and sizes. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Book Visuals and Pricing
It starts with your book cover. The Book Designer talks about recent cover trends that may give you some ideas (what colors to use, how to use typography, types of images, and more).
For print books especially, you’ll also want to work on the spine and the back cover.
Another thing to consider is the price of your book. Again The Book Designer has some advice, which includes analyzing prices on Amazon with the KDP Pricing Support service, taking into account length and genre, and changing your prices.

It can take you weeks to track down bloggers, journalists and others who review books in your genre. Then you have to write the perfect pitch, keep track of who you’ve emailed, and pray that you have the correct email addresses.

10 Secrets to Being Less Overwhelmed With Book Marketing
We can learn so much from one another.
Being an author often means we sit at our desk for hours on end, living in our imaginary worlds, creating conversations, and listening to the voices in our heads. It’s an isolating occupation!
But when we get out into the real world and interact with others, it can be glorious.
I recently had the privilege of talking to a group of authors during a five-day conference in the mountains of North Carolina. I love getting to meet authors face-to-face and spend quality time with them.
One of my favorite things to see at conferences is an author’s “aha moment” – that moment where they discover the answer to a problem or they learn something that will make their life so much easier.
I love to share those “aha moments” because it shows that you aren’t alone. You know there is someone else who has struggled with what you’re dealing with and there is an answer. And most of the time, the answer isn’t nearly as difficult as you might think!
I wanted to highlight the top 10 “aha moments” that will help you be less overwhelmed and see a bigger difference in your book marketing:

Why Authors Must Only Market To 1% Of The Population
5 Big Blogger Complaints That Affect Your Book Promotion by Penny Sansevieri
5 Big Blogger Complaints That Affect Your Book Promotion by Penny Sansevieri
Bloggers are key influencers in today’s buyer market and should play a pretty consistent role in your book promotion efforts.
That being said, it’s usually a lot of work, takes real finesse, and forces you to develop a thick skin and come to terms with the fact that all authors hear ‘no,’ even the most successful ones.
But you won’t hear ‘yes’ without the same efforts that also produce the ‘no’s’.
So a successful collaboration with a blogger who already has the eyes of hundreds or thousands of individuals in your target buyer market is not an opportunity you want to throw away. (After you finish this article, go here for more ideas on how to find and pitch book bloggers.)
Since we’ve now (hopefully) come to terms with the fact that you need to be researching and pitching bloggers as part of your book promotion plan, I want to give you some tips based on some of the biggest blogger complaints that will definitely affect your chances of getting a ‘yes’ next time.
