5 Top Ways to Market Your eBook
These days with the prevalence of
e-readers, writing an eBook is almost a no-brainer for anyone trying to tap
into the writing world.
5 top ways to market your e-book will show you some effective ways to market your book, once the hard graft of the writing is done.
e-Books are a great way to get your foot in the door if
you’re just starting to try to get work published as a writer, or to promote
yourself as an authority within your blogging niche (if you’re a blogger).
However for your eBook to catch on it has to be marketed well. Once you’ve
written and published your eBook use these techniques to get the word out about
it.
Email
a free copy of your e-Book to all subscribers
Whether
you’re planning on offering your eBook for free to readers or on charging a fee, you should send out either a sample from your eBook or a full copy to
everyone on your email list. This makes it easy for others to pass it on to
people on their own email list and allows you to give subscribers an exclusive
sneak peek of the book before you officially put it out on your website.
Include a link to your e book on all social media sites
Facebook, Twitter,
StumbleUpon… you should use all of these, and any other social media you are a
part of, to promote your newly published eBook. Social media has the power to
reach millions of people with little effort on your part past the initial
marketing, making it an absolute addition to your marketing campaign.
Make your eBook an audiobook
Turning your eBook into an
audiobook gives you yet another advantage to appeal to an even bigger audience
because it allows you to submit the audiobook to places like Audible.com and
iTunes. Having multiple downloadable formats of your eBook will only serve to
benefit you and your potential readers.
Send out a press release when your e-Book is launched
Press releases are great ways to drum
up attention for you eBook because you are able to use them in a multitude of
ways. Email out the press release to your email list, post a copy on your blog
or website, and submit a copy to relevant industry blogs and websites that are
willing to post it for you to ensure you reach a large number of people within
your target audience.
Guest post for other bloggers to promote your ebook
Guest posting will likely always be
one of the best marketing tools you can use when it comes to anything being
published online. This doesn’t mean you should write a purely promotional
article regarding your eBook as your guest post because other bloggers
typically reject those types of posts, however you should link to your eBook
within the post so that the readers can easily click over to it.
Without successful marketing campaigns
your eBook sales or downloads will suffer. It’s important to take advantage of
as many methods as possible. These are just a few great ways to market your
eBook to relevant audience members.
