Quite often, I receive private
messages from aspiring authors asking how to market their newly published
books.
There are several ways you can
market your books for free!
In the last 10 years
of writing and publishing 34 romance books, I have learnt a few ways to
advertise my books without a promo budget. I want to share the tips with you.
I'm hoping the pricing of
your book is affordable and competitive. For about 8 years, I priced my books
at 99p! Now, I sell all my books at £1.99. I prefer a wider distribution for my
books because I want more readers to be able to afford my books.
17 Tips To Market Your Book For Free!
2. Come up with a punchy tag line for your book.
It's not enough for you to just put your book
title and sales link. Tell the reader what they stand to gain from reading your
book. Offer something in return for the sale you expect.

10. Share your posts
regularly.
Building a brand,
gaining loyal readers take hard work, consistency and patience. Keep at it even
when you don’t see sales. Don’t be frustrated. If your books keep popping up everywhere,
a reader will notice and give you a chance. If not, they will move on to
another author whose books are always in front of their eyes.
Irresistible Passion |
11. I have 7 Facebook
Groups.
Ask to JOIN my groups
and promote your books. If you are lazy about marketing, then you are not ready
to have readers open the pages of the book you worked hard to write. Believe
me, I wish I did not have to market, but I do! I don’t have a budget, so I
constantly find ways to promote my books without spending a dime!
Longing for You |

promote and share your books. Share snippets from your books to tease and gain
new readers.
