Go Digital

Websites are a huge investment in the future of your ebook. Invest some time into creating one that is professional and functional. This doesn’t always mean forking out huge amounts of cash. Companies such as Squarespace offer all-in-one platforms with easy to use interfaces. Allowing you to make building a beautiful online presence easy.

Consider a Blog

Build the Excitement

Just because you’ve written your book doesn’t mean you should make it available right away. If you have a website linked to a blog with modest traffic, a landing page with the release date can be effective. This helps to build some hype surrounding the book. Taking the time to build excitement allows you to continue creating and developing your marketing strategy. 
 
 

Give It Away

Marketing your ebook is all about getting it into the hands of as many people as possible. If you are a new writer considering giving the book away for free can be a valuable strategy in the early days of both your career and your book. 
The book doesn’t always have to be free. Consider a free 100 copies on the day of release or a chance to win a copy on signing up to the email list. If you’re not willing to give away the book in its entirety, consider offering up a chapter so readers can sample your work. 
 
 

Connect with Influencers

Influencers are constantly on the lookout for the next big thing to start promoting. Find influencers that can relate to your e-book and simply reach out online. Consider affiliate marketing. You can reward influencers each time someone purchases your book using their link or affiliate code. 
Hosting a conferencecan be a great way to get people involved in influencing and affiliate marketing. Send out a large number of invites, and you may be surprised how many people accept.
A successful marketing campaign needs a lot of creativity and perseverance. This article provides a starting point, but it is up to you, the author, to do what works best for you. The book has been written, now it’s time to get it the limelight it deserves!
