Angles to Look at When Marketing Your Book

If you have just written your book or you are researching the process for when you do finish it, then you need to give special consideration to how you will go about marketing your book, NOW. Many authors will tell you that writing the book was the easy part. The marketing that followed was the hardest part of it all and one area they wished they had more control of. This is now becoming more possible considering the way the consumer seeks out information and shares it.

Websites such as Tribal Author serve as a great site that can ease out the myths of self marketing and put your strategy to get your book out into the mainstream quickly and efficiently. It is not necessarily about working harder yourself, it is more about working smarter.

Thinking about the way a consumer thinks today, is a far cry from how they thought five years ago. The internet and especially the social networking sites have been the driving force behind this movement. Marketing your book should include every one of the popular social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc., Having your own blog and website is also a highly recommended as this is how many consumers learn about the book and the author prior to purchasing.

Press releases and physical presence in the market place should be utilized as much as possible, and should be considered the marketing that you do in your local area, whilst your online presence will be much farther reaching. A strong online presence can be self perpetuating and can go to give your book and persona a great platform to build upon with your marketing strategy.
