Book publishing tricks for unknown and known authors? Be Realistic: The self-publishing revolution has made it so that anyone with a story can publish a book, which resulted in a flood of content on top of all of the books published by traditional publishers each year, which is to say, you most likely won’t sell millions of copies or be a New York Times bestseller, but there are plenty of realistic author goals you can achieve, so be thoughtful about what goals you set for yourself and your book and then put steps in place to achieve them. Success doesn’t happen overnight. It takes dedication and business savvy.
Use your email: A simple email letter with an image of your book can be an effective promotional tool to your friends and family. Encourage them to forward the notice to their friends about your book or create a signature line which includes a link to purchasing your book or a small graphic of the cover. Write an Online article: The Internet is a great place to post information. You can reach hundreds of thousands of people by getting the word out about your book. You can submit your press release to places like prleap.com, pr.com or prweb.com, where it is possible your article may also be picked up by regular media.
Use your limits. Self-published author and founder of ALLi (Alliance for Independent Authors) Orna Ross told us that the key to productivity is to use the limits that life imposes on you: “If you say to someone ‘here’s a blank page, go write something,’ you’re frozen. The limit allows you to do it… People who think they could write if their circumstances are otherwise—that’s wrong thinking. You finish after a few hours anyway.”
