Hi all,
I am just building up a database of places to market a non-fiction book. It's an original popular psychology / self-improvement book that I would think would be of interest to a fair amount of people. (i.e. It's not a niche book.)
Does anyone have experience of promoting a general interest non-fiction book? If so, what channels worked best for you?
I'm looking at both review sites and sites which just promote your books when they're discounted (ie. free or $0.99). It either has to be either fairly cheap or something on which I will make a fair ROI.
I have been going through the threads on this part of the forum and got some good ideas (thank you all!). But as I know many of you are probably fiction writers, I was wondering specifically about non-fiction promo. I guess what works for fiction may be different than for non-fiction, although perhaps that's not so if it's not a niche product.
If anyone could help or give me some thoughts on the above, I'd really appreciate it. I have already spent hours/days trawling through book blogs etc. but many of them look very much like genre fiction websites. Some of them say they'll consider anything, but just by looking at what they've actually reviewed, it doesn't look like they will!
Thanks.
