Getting Started
So where do you start? The first thing you’ll want to do is ensure that it’s available as an Amazon pre-order. Why? It gives you a direct link you can start using in your marketing. Share it in everything you do. Because not only can you use it to share with people as you tell them about your book, but it also drives pre-orders, which equates to more sales! And more sales in turn mean more buzz!
Next, you’ll want to be sure that your Amazon book page is going to net you the most hits possible using their internal search algorithms. And you’ll also want to take advantage of our killer tips to get more sales on Amazon.
Once this infrastructure is in place, it’s time to start teasing! Create that buzz – because, honestly, that’s what book marketing is all about. With your next release coming out soon, buzz is the name of the game, and it’s how you stay ahead of the competition. And that’s where this quick start guide will be an invaluable reference for your indie author marketing. It’s got something for you whether your goals are to become one of the most popular indie authors or simply to learn how to sell more books as a pre-release.

77 Tips and Tools for Promoting Your Book
I love a good list, and I’ve been collecting links again. This time, it’s a collection of resources that can help you promote your book.
The Author’s Social Media Bio Formula
An important detail that’s often overlooked or slapped together at the last minute is the bio or about section on social media outlets. It’s one of those details that we put off because we simply don’t know what to say.
Your bio is one of the most important aspects of your social media platform. It’s your five-second opportunity to hook new readers and tell them why they should follow you.
And here’s the kicker – your social media isn’t for you, it’s for your readers. When someone visits your profile, you need to let them know what you have to offer, what you will share with them, and then lead them to their next step.
You have just a few hundred characters to grab your reader’s attention, so it’s important to use this section wisely.
Each outlet has a different number of characters available for the bio section, but the overall approach is still the same. Here’s what you have to work with:

E-Book Readers Are Showing Their Love for @OverdriveLibs
Overdrive is the largest company operating in the digital library sector and many people are frequently borrowing them instead of buying. Overdrive recently conducted an “ask me anything” on Reddit and they have been showered with praise by the vast majority of users. Here are the most notable statements the company made.
“Audiobooks are absolutely trending up much like podcasts. They actually increased in popularity at a higher rate than even eBooks through OverDrive. A massive reason for this is the convenience that digital audiobooks offer as you don’t need to carry around loads of CDS. Currently we offer hundreds of thousands of audiobooks available in our marketplace and we add more each month.
“An important note is that libraries determine the content they want to purchase so if your library doesn’t have a large number of audiobooks you can always recommend that they add more. A great tool to use is our search function on https://www.overdrive.com/. You can search our full catalog and sort by audiobooks to find books you’d like that your library doesn’t currently offer. Sometimes audiobooks aren’t produced at the same time as the new release eBook or physical book which may be why you see a lag in when they’re released but if you search at overdrive.com you can peruse the millions of titles we have available.”
“Wishlists are being integrated into Libby.”
