You may think it costs money to get promotion, publicity, or exposure, but it doesn’t. It just takes a little research and the guts. Self-service means you have to get used to talking about yourself and always looking for new ways and angles to reach the media. I can use myself as an example:
Self-publishing a book means that I am constantly promoting myself. On my own I have managed to get into magazines and newspapers that I never thought I would be able to get into. Here are some tips on how I did it.
1. I know the topics inside and outside of my book.
has. This means that I can divide my book into different areas of promotion. Of the topics found within my book. My book is about modeling, but it’s also about the internet, for example: I’m currently marketing it in the tech sections of magazines and newspapers. b. I allow my book to be fluid, it can be sexy but at the same time it can be very serious and depending on who I present it to, my press release and email change.
2. I research books that have a similar theme. And I google those books and then I research what magazines and newspapers and blogs have featured these books and I research the writers what I mean is I research Who has written on this kind of subject and I think of a way that I could get this . writers’ interest in an article about my book, including a similarity and also how my book is different.
3. Use the Internet as a source of promotion. Join blogs, make a Myspace page, Facebook, get involved in the online community and charities that might have something to do with your book. This way, even if a publisher or writer wants to write about you, they can also find your website and profile and learn more about you and your book.
4. Magazines are printed once a month, so the chances of a magazine are less than those of a newspaper that comes out every day. So if you have a local newspaper send them a sample of your book or your book and don’t be afraid to seriously write your own editorial. As in, write a story about yourself and submit it. If the newspaper is very busy but there is room for an article and the press release you think is decent, you better use it and run the story.
5. Always look around you. Ideas are everywhere. Today, on the way home, I picked up the Village Voice sitting on the subway bench, with it, tonight I plan to search for all the names of writers and stories that have the slightest similarity to my book. I’ll google them later. I will then prepare a personalized Word cover letter for your article mentioning my book and asking for the opportunity to review it. I’ll highlight a few points where my book shines, the unique factors, but I’ll keep it to just two. paragraphs The way to get press is not to go on and on. Just be quick, get to the point, and follow up with a phone call.
6. Write about your book in ten different ways. Think of different ways to approach the press. I submit to fashion, technology, books, lifestyle and publishers and women’s magazines and newspapers and don’t forget the website is a great tool to promote yourself so please email and get in touch with websites that feature stories with similar themes that relate to your book. .
7. Email! It saves a stamp and postage, and compared to cold mailing the book, and you can usually also email a sample of your book, it’s a quick way to introduce yourself without spending any money.
