1. Know your audience. Ask yourself what your audience needs to be successful. It’s not about what you need. You must put yourself in their shoes. If you have to, ask them. What are their fears? What are their desires?
Be willing to expose your flaws. People will more easily relate and like you. When your audience can see part of themselves in you, they’ll remember your message.
2. Don’t hold back. If you’re going to write a book, write it as if it’s your last. Don’t hold back. Give it all you’ve got.
If you know something or you have something and you’ve got it going for you, than you’ve already got it made. Confidence is key to embracing yourself so don’t hold back.

3. Know your competition. What has already been written about your topic? You must stand out. If you’re going to write a book, make sure you feel strongly about what you’re saying. This is not the time to straddle the road.
4. Develop a marketing strategy long before your book launches. As a strategy, start by pre-selling your book on Amazon and in Barnes & Noble a few months before it becomes available.
If your book is selling well & outperforming all the other books that are similarly written on the same subject as yours, Amazon will send out ads about it. Try enticing readers to pre-order the book as well.
5. Send advance copies to bloggers who have a large audience. It’s a great and easy way to quickly grow your exposure. If other authors ask you to promote their book on your network, do it. You’ll need all of the help you can get when it’s time to get the word out about your book. Facebook is another great tool.
Cool advice
Cool advice I’m actually going to work on releasing one later this year. Working on original ways to promote it as well.
I cant argue with that
Hey Kiddo! Where do you start finding your audience? Thanks
These days I’d Recommend using all platforms until one sticks. Alternative sites can also allow for great connections down the road since the most interactive people online are those seeking to use new platforms. We all know FB ain’t cutting it like it used too
Thank you. I will have it in mind 🙂
Coolbeans glad I could help ??

Life is the poetry of motion; and the flowing rhyme of living mechanism, and is not in over use: though rivers run in its fluent transition of its direction in their course. X,..

Great tips and a fantastic post. I’ll keep this in mind for my own work. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I must confess, these points are timeless and accurate. Anyone who is able to put all these into considerable reach , can achieve a lot.
Great read! I’m currently working on a book of my own so this will be a great tool!
Great advice. Wish I would have followed tips #4 when I released my short story collection. I appreciate the article.
Great information, as I have 2 novels that are being edited now. I’ll be implementing some of this advice.
Great advice.
Great advice!
Great advice only for those who write for money and not for the joy of it. The first point about pleasing the audience completely wipes away the reason why people start writing in the first place. Hold on to this advice and you will hate writing.
i think it is sensible.
You forgot step 6: Luck.
