The frugal book marketing author. You can find hundred's of thousands of them online running around to this site and that site registering and uploading their books, book descriptions and trying to create book buzz and market their books.
Many of these sites are over flooded with authors and books all trying to compete for book sales. Between 60% and 70% of all the visitors to these sites are authors all trying to accomplish the same thing. To sell their books.
While this does provide for getting one's name up in lights, joining the crowd and creating great friendships with other authors. One must ask the question, is this affective marketing.
Well if one were to look at say the top 100 best sellers at any given time, one would find few of those authors running around joining sites and self promoting their books. Successful authors higher professionals to market and promote their books.
Within this, there are numerous ways that a author can seek professional marketing and book promotions at prices that are reasonable. Everyone has to start somewhere and while many times authors can't afford the cost of prime marketing, it doesn't mean that they cant find affordable and affective marketing.
However, order is a key word meaning that everything must be done in a order with a overall objective. The first and most important part of that order, goal and objective should be to have a authors site or blog that showcases the author and his or her books. Once a author has obtained a authors site or blog, the next step is to market that authors site so that book lovers and book buyers can find the site.
Remember, your online authors site or blog will become the number one place where book lovers find you, read about you as a author and your books. Once your authors site is up and running, then comes the marketing process of your site.
