Marketing a Kindle Book to Help Sell Your Fiction!
Marketing a Kindle book is the next step once you have uploaded and published it to the Kindle Directory on Amazon.com. Getting published seems to be the most difficult process for fiction writers by far and is the only way to make lot of money from your writing. Kindle makes it easy to start making money as a published writer.
Marketing is your sole responsibility as an author, whether you publish through a major book publisher, self-publish, or have your books published on Kindle or other eBook reader. If you don't put forth the effort to market you and your published book, no one will know it's out there. If nobody knows your book is out there, no one buys your book and you don't make any money.
Immediately after your published book is available on Kindle, you must write and submit a press release to as many media outlets as possible. This is your opportunity to let the world know that you are a new author out there and that you have a must read book for them on Kindle.
Your press release is published throughout the news media outlets you submit to and rapidly spreads the word about the great news of your publishing success. You must make your press release very interesting so people will want to purchase your book.
After your press release reaches circulation, another way of marketing a Kindle book (and probably the best way) is to tap into your social networking circles. At least once a week for a month or two, let your social networking friends on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and all of the others know that you have a new published book on Kindle.
Studies have shown that the more people see your advertisement, the more they trust it and likely visit it. Don't just send one bullet out for your book and expect a lot of results. Send at least seven announcements letting them know about your fiction book. Seven is the magic number in any kind of marketing.
Don't forget to let all of your friends and family know about your published book. These are your best and most loyal customers. You can do this with a simple phone call, email, or letter in the mail. You can ask them to put a good word out there for you to make some good referral sales as well.
If you happen to have some money allocated to advertising your book, there's always direct mail advertising, solo email advertising, ezine advertisements, and text/image advertisements on different websites related to your book's content. This way of marketing a Kindle book is more random and less targeted, but can get your name out to more potential readers.
There are several ways marketing a Kindle book will get the word out so people can find your work. The secret to marketing success is to take action. If you don't spread the word, no one will ever find your work.
