MARKETING YOUR BOOK
The biggest tip I will give you though, is don’t keep promoting yourself. It gets boring. It will most likely turn anyone off who has either bought your book and, if you are again lucky enough, are also following you.
Yet, in the same breath you could ask yourself what about TV adverts. You’ve seen them over and over. You may even be brainwashed into singing the jingle, and you might even go out and buy, buy, buy! So it does work.
Conflicting information? Hell yes.
I tend to get a lot of questions about marketing my book. An honest answer: It’s a nightmare. I’d rather pull teeth. When it comes to social media and promotions, I’ve come to the conclusion I have had to learn. Re-learn and then learn from the best and try to understand what to do.
So I mix it up. Add different memes. Offer author slots on my blog. Do a variety of videos. Use Canva to make posts and a whole heap more. You may find me on Instagram FacebookAuthor and Twitter
Keep in touch with fellow authors. Promote their work. And, I have to say, some are simply beautifully brilliant, they promote me. Thank you guys!
Better still connect with your readers. They after all are special. They are the ones you want to read your masterpiece. Make sure you respond to anything they have commented on in any of your socials. Actually, I love connecting with my readers and I love connecting with fellow authors and budding writers. So this bit may take time, but I am grateful for the connections. THANK YOU
So here I am, with the permission of marketing professionals, adding information they have sent me in their newsletter. Geniuslink / booklinker has been a bonus making sure my book has one link to get anyone asking, to get them straight to the amazon site. 
YAY!

Are you a subject matter expert? Let us know! Social Media for Authors
Unlike many other book marketing methods, social media is typically a channel most authors take part in, but don’t utilize to their best advantage. Many authors spend too much time posting, but aren’t focused on creating relationships with readers, or worse only share, ‘buy my book’ posts making you lose followers.
These strategies can be a time sink, keeping you from creating lasting fans of your work while growing sales.
Booklinker is here to change that. We spoke to KJ Waters, an international bestselling author, creator of the Stealing Time Series, and an author consultant, in order to create a guide to social media for authors.
We’ll cover all of the best social platforms for authors, how to pick the right platform for you, along with actionable tactics.
Read the Post Now How to Write a Children’s Book Nearly one-third of all of the books sold in the U.S. today are children’s books, and that number is rapidly growing. Still, writing children’s books isn’t for everyone.
Most people don’t make their living off of writing children’s books. (There’s only one J.K. Rowling).
But perhaps you’re a parent who wants to teach valuable lessons to your children.
Or you’re someone who loves expressing ideas in ways that kids can understand. If you’re interested in writing a children’s book, you’ve come to the right place. That’s why we’ve teamed up with children’s book author and ghostwriter Chris Eboch, author of You Can Write for Children: How to Write Great Stories, Articles, and Books for Kids and Teenagers, to make the ultimate guide to writing a children’s book.
Book Promotion Services Book promotion services are a significant tool in any author’s book marketing strategy, regardless of whether they are self-published or traditionally published.
These services may include a coordinated marketing campaign, press releases, or social media promotion, all geared towards generating buzz and ultimately, driving sales at the crucial release stage. Promotion services come in many different forms, most commonly via newsletter services, book review services, group promotion services, and book launch services. We spoke to Kenney Myers, author of the Jon Bragg Series, and founder of eBookFairs in order to cover the different types of book promotion services in-depth, as well as some of the best options for you to utilize.
