BLOGGING FREEBIES
As an author year I spent in search of free marketing techniques that would help me sell my books. As a struggling beginning writer, I had no idea how have you started on the first ever. Almost 2 years after the publication of my first book I can with confidence I have six techniques that have gained me the sale of Books will say found, and work for you. I'll see you even in a technique I found myself collecting any sales to all!
1. Offer a monthly Newsletter, the content is also only useful information about your books. I have found that a newsletter that offers something for potential readers, and either seek or already published authors has increased my newsletter members and sells more books from me.
2. Offer free states. It is a Thing, which is both a reader and writer to stand up and pay attention to me, gives me something useful for free. People love is always something for free! My only advice to this is just make sure that what you offer is of high quality. If you have a story you wrote 10 years ago do not reflect their current offer polished writing style, they now receive little more to selling books for your current books. Either write something new or brush up doing something already written, so that it reflects Their current style.
3. Have at least one of your free reading from your publisher. Some publishers give authors the opportunity stories free. Potential Fans and readers, scan book catalogs for free reading, and sometimes publishers will also advertise for free reading. If anyone read the charge provided by your publisher reads, and she liked it, they will come much sooner and the purchase of books you have for sale.
4. As a further incentive for someone who is for Their free monthly newsletter offering to read at least one free (or like me and do not offer two or three!) Either a serial, where after a chapter a month (I freebies they send me by e-mail is that, until I found the section "Files" in my Yahoo Group! Now I have all my gifts in the Files section and all new members can just go and download all my gifts to her computer. This saves time for you and your new subscribers.
5. Write Article similar to those on the various aspects of being a writer, and publishing industry. Once you've done this, you publish it in a few Free high-profile article directories like E-zine Articles.com (my favorite), or Article Factory, for example. Because of the risk of duplication in the search engines I maintain not publish duplicate articles on more than two locations simultaneously.
6. Get your books reviewed. I can not stress this one enough, as it is one the most important ways to get the word out about your books. There are many places online you can check your books free to leave. Do not pay that someone review your book! There are some very reputable organizations out there like Coffee Time Romance (by the way, review all the different genres and even non-fiction, not just romance) and romanticism Studio, to name two.
Strangely, a technique that has not Garner me a lot of the sale of books, which I am aware I, and many authors try to start sending bookmarks with information about their books to book conferences. I've even heard some horror stories about authors, The friends who spoke at the conference about how they saw the other person with bookmarks on the floor, or had in the trash. If you can afford to Pen or calendar or other more original / different items that are picked up more and has brought home to do then by all means, and send that article. From what I've heard more and more bookmarks will not be picked up.
If you are at the six techniques that I listed here, you can not find your book sales increase and you will have many happy new readers as well!
