Hello everyone,
I thought I'd come back here and post some weekly updates of successes and things I've learned about my independent publication. Things I've done thus far:
Created a personal blog
Created a publication website for the book
Sent my book off for reviews
Created a goodreads account
Published onto Amazon
Enrolled in Amazon select program
Made sure my cover was professional looking
Made sure my book was edited professionally
Created a press release
Created a facebook page
Created twitter account
Next step for me is to start exploring facebook and some twitter marketing. I'm not sure how successful these avenues will be but two things I'm aiming for are:
1) find the mavens on twitter that would love to review a free copy of my book and extend it to their social network.
2) generate a community on facebook. Thus far I'm starting from ground zero.
Do any people have advice on social media marketing? I'd love to hear it. Best of luck to all of you out there who are doing the same thing. Let's share ideas and stories. After all, publishing is a community
