How Be Proactive When It Comes to Marketing Your Kindle Book

Writing and getting your book published to the Kindle Store is the only the first half of being a successful author. Getting sales and gaining a reputation is the other half. This can only be achieved by you taking a proactive approach to marketing your book.

If you want to see success in life then you need to go out and get it! This applies to your book as well. If you want people to read it then you have to let people know about your book and why it can help them.

Gaining a reputation as an author means that you need to brand yourself as such. This takes hard work and dedication, but it is possible and can bring you lots of success both personally and financially.

Being proactive with your book means that you want to always look for opportunities where you can market or talk about your book. It can be helpful to have business cards made with your author website and social sites on them. 

This way you have something to give to people that show an interest in your book. You never know where you may run into a potential new reader so always be prepared.

People today love being social and most people have access to the internet. Take advantage of this by using social sites to promote your book as well as yourself. This can be done by highlighting your day as an author, talking about your life and why you wrote the book.

Sharing images is an excellent way of attracting attention to your book. Share related images and even add quotes from your book to them. Send out Tweets and use Pinterest for your photos. You can easily create a story board of your book and highlight new aspects of a certain chapter each week.

You don’t have to spend every moment of each day promoting your book. But you do want to focus on promoting it in some fashion each week. If you want to see lots of sales each month you will need to work on driving more visitors to your sales page.

Automated tools are great for scheduling your posts to places like Twitter and Facebook. It doesn’t take long to schedule out posting for a week or more at one time. Once you get into the habit of using these tools and seeing great results you will enjoy using them.
