Writing is easy. Marketing is hard. Marketing is time consuming.
I am writing and publishing a short story every month. Some months I publish two a month. If I am not writing I am marketing. I am on face book. I am on twitter. I blog.
That may sound simple, but it zaps my writing time.
If you have a spouse or friend that could help you with the social media, you will be ahead of the game. I do not have that. I am totally on my own.
I have a full time job. I get up early to write or promote my books. I do what I can do.
There is no secret formula on how to market your book. If there was, then we all would be doing the same thing.
Be willing to take risks, but watch your money. Don't go into debt by advertising. Like publishing your book, it doesn't have to cost you anything. Like marketing, don't pay anyone to help you, unless you are sure and can afford it. There is always someone out there to take your money.
The best advice is to get the next book or short story out. If you are writing a novel, can you write and publish a short story to keep your name out there???
I am selling books every month. I am recieving royality checks from amazon. If I can do this so can you.
