Ways to Sell More
You’ve written an eBook! Congratulations!
Now it is time to market your Kindle Book with these 21 tips…
When you have identified a specific audience for your book, market your books
to them.
A well designed book cover can call the attention of potential readers to flip through the free pages of your
book and buy it.
Your title should be informative and it should catch the attention of your target readers
Blogging is another way of marketing your book. You can pay a blogger to have your book reviewed or featured in his/her blog.
Keeping a list of your readers and reviewers will be
helpful in marketing future books via email.
Update your readers about your book. Give them an overview of what it is about. Make sure that your email does not end-up in the
spam folders of your target customers.
Having your own webpage is a good way of marketing yourself as an
author and at the same time link it with social media sites.
Creating a Facebook Fan Page linked to your website, for example, allows you to
advertise to potential readers. You can also create promos and contests to
promote your book.
A description about your book is important in giving the reader an idea about what your book is all about.
It will help him/her decide whether to buy your book or not.
Offer promos like bundled books when readers buy your latest eBook. You can give a free copy of your
last book.
When pricing your book, put yourself in the shoes of the customer and think how much you would pay for
it. For starters you can offer your book for $0.99.
A book trailer is a creative way of promoting your book with the mix of sounds and visuals. It makes your book
come to life. You can post the video in YouTube and also share it in your author webpage.
You can join online communities of bookworms to promote your book. Examples are: •http://www.goodkindles.net/
•http://www.goodreads.com/author/program •http://authormarketingclub.com/
•http://bookdealhunter.com/submit-free-book/
Good and helpful reviews about your book boosts your target readers’ decision to buy your book.
Publishing your book in multiple languages gives your book a wider reach of readers. It is a challenge
to translate but you can hire freelancers to translate your book in oDesk.com or eLance.com.
Joining the KDP Select Program
allows you to sell your book with
Kindle Select for 90-days (exclusive). It can be loaned to
prime members and you can offer it
for free as well. You may miss your target readers but it is good way to start making a
name as an author.
A digital autograph gives a more personal touch in selling and
marketing your book. Authorgraph (http://www.authorgraph.com/)
provides services for digitally autographed books.
Registering your book in Kindle book submission tools such as:
• Amazon Kindle Free Book Promotion Submission Tool • Author marketing Club Free Book Submission Tool help authors promote their book in several websites
with one click of the mouse.
When publishing a book, make sure that
you proofread and edited it. Add some
graphics or photos to present your ideas.
A look inside feature of your book or sample chapters
published on Amazon, your author website or blog can
help in marketing your book. It gives your target readers an
idea about your book and when you would launch it for
selling online.

your book today… the world is at
your finger tips.
