Marketing Your Book

It is amazing how slow time can drag when you are trying to get things scheduled, ordered and moving.

My publisher is so slow with email responses, it drives me crazy. I'll bet if I were Steven King they would be banging down my door. Ah...someday.

Well, I made myself a list of things I need to work on...you know the "to do list".
1. Create an author page on Amazon. They have 4 of my books for sale.
-They also have my new one at a 22% discount....Wow..I should just order from them instead of the publisher. Won't pay too much more, I will get a royalty and it will count towards my required sales.
2. Get the bookstore contact list from the publisher that I created.
- I will start to call them all and schedule some book signings.
3. New head shots
- One day more money is going to come in instead of go out.
4. Contact the publisher for marketing items.
- I did this a couple of times already, but they are so very slow in responding.
- Need Posters, Kiosks, Bookmarks and Review cards
5. Create that You Tube video...
6. Review books on Amazon.
- Take time to put a review on Amazon for books that I have read and purchased, always signing it with my name, author status and website.
7. Fax those wonderful Press Releases to all the book stores and newspapers.
8. Call local newspapers and ask them to put in an article in about my book.

Whew, a lot to do in a little time. Since this book is based on the Halloween Holiday, I need to get some signings booked soon. Good thing is that there is more than one Halloween and I can schedule book signings each year.

Once these items are completed, then we start on getting the publisher to take on the new book and begin created the next.

The work of a published writer is never done!
