• Converse on blogs to boost your book sales
To increase book sales, consider focusing the bulk of your interactions with readers on niche social media sites – such as blogs – that have the largest audiences.
• Get free PR by joining Help A Reporter Out
One great way to information in the media about your book – especially if you write nonfiction – is to join HARO, or Help A Reporter Out.
• Boost book sales with promo codes, coupons
Often when a retail store or a business wants to generate interest in a product, it offers coupons. You can do the same with your books.
• Why writers need to carry business cards
Whenever you meet someone who might be interested in any way in your book, give them your business card. Besides ensuring that the other person remembers your name and has your contact information, a business card provides you with credibility and validation.
• Exploit Your “Local” Status
One of your biggest selling points, especially if a novelist, is that you’re “local.” While that can only take you so far, you’d be foolish not to fully harness it. A lot of businesses and institutions “local” products or those about their region.
