Subscription services are often overlooked by self-published authors. The reason for the oversight is simple: authors tend to focus on sales rather than borrows. There aren't many…

Indie authors can give themselves the greatest opportunity to sell more books if they create interest long before the book is in print. By giving focus to how you’re going to promote and market your book before it is out there in the world will assist you to plan and organise your marketing campaign for optimal sales.

Usually, self-published authors seek out reliable book reviews and/or endorsements as a means to market their book and persuade readers to buy it. This is a great…

One of the things I really enjoy about my monthly trip to Costco is all the samples I get to munch on while I peruse the aisles and shop. A few of these samples have even convinced me to buy the products being hawked.

My current book has been out over a year in print, and the e-book has been out less then that, but the work is starting to pay off.

Two weeks ago was the author interview I did on Central Valley Talk.com’s show called “Let’s Talk Business” hosted by Mike Scott. I realize that many either could not watch it on a normal work day at 1:00 PM Pacific Time, and “live,” or had other difficulty finding the site.

Here it is on You Tube, with no headline, no ads, and the book’s cover at the…

By now, most authors know what virtual book tours are or at least have heard of them.  They’re that wonderful marketing tool that should be a must have in every new book’s campaign.  With each new book I write, I’m making a game plan before the book is even published and a virtual book tour is the first promotional venue on that list.
