The 3 Marketing Tips For You To Successfully Self-Publish

#3: Organise weekly LIVE webinars

In a week, I birthed a book from heartbreak. A week later, I self-published it as an eBook on Amazon and broke my self-limiting boundary of marketing myself with the help of a digital marketer.

I am at the end of the second week of marketing my self-help eBook, and it’s going good. So here are my three marketing tips for you to successfully self-publish.

Side note: This is NOT a ticket to the quick lane to become a bestseller author, but to break into marketing yourself successfully as an indie author.

1. Reviews, reviews, reviews

“It’s hard to get those first one or two book reviews or break into the top rankings. This is why promotion matters so much.” — Biron Clark

Sorry to break it to you, but when you’ve self-published your book, you are only 40% of the way there. Marketing your book is the biggest battle! But it’s OK. I knew this early on as a fellow self-published author friend of mine pre-warned me, so I hired a digital marketer. (He has provided me with these tips I am sharing with you, so I am sure they will help.)

So, first thing’s first: reviews. If you are self-publishing on Amazon, the only way your book is going to rank is through reviews. People believe other people’s opinions. One word says a lot. You know this — you are currently reading my words and accepting them, aren’t you?

Believe in the power of positive reviews and ask as many people as you can. I am fortunate enough to have many friends around the world that are avid users of Amazon, so I asked them all. They wanted to support me as much as they could and found my self-help book eased their anxiety, so they were open to writing reviews!

If you don’t have many friends that are readers, then join Facebook groups and post away. Don’t be afraid, just do it — it’s the only way your book will get the reviews it deserves. You can also ask others to do a “review for a review”. Be creative and get those customer ratings up, then:

2. Network like never before

“Self-publishing can be a lonely process, so it’s very helpful to have the support of friends, followers, and other authors. That’s where effective networking comes in.” — Self Publishing Relief

Networking is marketing. The more you market, the more leads you generate, and that is a top priority when self-publishing! Admittedly, I used to be scared of networking and marketing myself, but now I realise my mission is to spread peace, so I am no longer afraid. Right now, we are all suffering, so I want to help take that away!

Search through all your contacts, clients or people you see active on your social media and reach out to them. Join writing groups or even make a writing group — get on your game!

One marketing tip I did to successfully self-publish was reaching out to a dear friend and mentor I made on here, Kelly Eden. She congratulated me straight away and asked if I would like to write some tips in her weekly newsletter (I never expected this reaction!):
