Did you write a great, self-published romance and are ready to sell it? Well, there is no need to spend a lot of money to help sell your new book. Here are three quick tips to help you get started:
1. Check online options.
In addition to posting your book on www.jexbo.com (where you can list your book for 10¢ per month and jexbo takes just 5% of the sales), look for other sites online specifically for self-published authors. By doing a little research, you will find a simple and cost-effective service that best suits your needs and budget.
2. Look for local reading clubs.
Check your phone book, library and online for a list of reading clubs in your local area. There are many groups that focus on reading romance books, and you could suggest they add your book to their reading line-up.
If you can’t find one of these clubs, consider starting one! Post a notice at your local community center or library to find others interested in romance books. Then, plan monthly book discussions and events. You’ll build word of mouth and get some great feedback on your romance book.
3. Sign up for book signings.
Visit your local bookstore to set up a book-signing afternoon. You can offer a discount on your book, a presentation, free snacks, and more. Think of ways to get people to your signing, and don’t forget to let the local paper and other media members know about it. They might send someone over to do a story about your book signing and you’ll get free exposure for your book!
These are just three quick tips to help you sell your self-published romance book. If you have more questions and need additional assistance, feel free to contact me here or at www.jexbo.com. Thanks!
