Did you know, Amazon releases 1.4 million self-published books every year but that number doesn't take into account the self-published books without an ISBN so the number of self-pubbed books is probably signifantly higher. There are litterally an ocean of novels out there so how do you make your novel stand out?
One word: Marketing.
It might be a dirty word to some authors but there it is, it's something we have to do.
I am not entirely sure where to start or if I'm shouting into the void, but I'm not going to give up. I'm going to find out as much as I can and make it work.
Step one: Build up a buzz
This means posting about my book, replying to posts and intereacting with people. It's a lot of work but it's worth it to get my baby out into the world. And, if I'm honest, I really enjoy it. It's great getting out there and talking about my writing and my characters.
I'm doing a lot of research, talking to people, reading everything I can. Hopefully, it's all going to build up into a plan. I'm devouring any advice I can get and mulling it over to discover how I can use that advice for my book.
