If no one knows about your book--your hard work--no one will buy it. It's tough to get it out there, especially when you are the only one responsible for doing so, as with independent publishing.
I've found that it's hard to be able to do all the things I'd like to do about it because I work full time carrying the mail, and my work takes a lot of energy and time from my day. Some day I'll retire and have more time. But for now, I'm looking for ways to get my book noticed. Some things work, some don't work so much. But I'm slowly learning a few things as I go.
A large portion of successful promotion seems to lie in the power of your connections--with other authors, such as here on authorsden--and with anyone honestly interested in reading a good book. (Mine. Yours.)It's really nice to have fellow authors with which to compare notes, get ideas, and learn from. That's why I love authorsden. I've met so many warm and talented people, and I wish everyone here the very best.
Also, you might be interested in an opportunity at cross promotion, the brainchild of John Cashwell, an authorsden author. It's a class act.
