2. Have your book promoted on Indie Author News.

3. Promote it on Free Discounted Books (if/when you offer the book for free).

4. Submit your book to eBooks Habit for promotion (free or paid option).

5. Tweet about your book with a link to Amazon! (use your affiliate link for potential extra sales commissions on other products they may buy)

10. Organize a book signing + photoshoot!

• Arrange this with a local book store (like Barnes & Noble), book festival, or event.
• Arrange for food, treats, or a raffle to attract people over (if allowed).
• Ask a friend or local high school or college student to come and take photos and videos of your book signing.

11. Create a SlideShare with some key points from your book and link to book for those who want more.

12. Talk about your book and the journey to write it on podcasts, virtual summits, and any speaking gigs you have.

• Remember that vulnerability is powerful, so don't leave out the hard parts.

13. Send the PDF e-book version to people you respect in your industry for free (and build the value in the message so they see it as a gift). You never know where that could lead.

14. Ask biz buddies to buy the book when it's $0.99 on your launch day (as we went over in detail in LEVEL 2 of this free book training) and to please leave an honest review.

15. Give a presentation at a local meetup group, community college, or university.

• Don’t sell the book, just give great information and have some books to hand in case people ask to buy a copy.
• You can also sign some books, do some giveaways, and have photos/video shot for sharing on social media and your website.

16. Teach some top tips on a Facebook Live that are from the book and let people know at the end where to get a copy of your book if they want to learn more.

17. Do a Good Reads Giveaway (of a physical or audiobook).

18. Share an excerpt on Scribd for new exposure and some SEO juice.

19. Shoot a series of short how-to videos for YouTube related to your book's content (make sure to truly give value and not make them pure commercials).

21. Send review copies of your book to all the journals, magazines, and blogs that review books in your industry.

22. Have your book translated into another widely spoken language like Spanish, German, or Chinese to increase your reach.

• Free if you have a bilingual friend!
• Could find low cost help on Fiverr, UpWork, and Guru.

23. If you speak on stage, tie book purchases into your speaking fee.

• For example, instead of $1,000 to speak, it could be $500 plus they buy $500 worth of your books to give to their audience.
• Or instead of $5,000 to speak, give them the option to buy $4500 worth of your books to give to their audience.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Just make sure to never do anything shady to cut corners! Here below is a warning from KDP.

"You're welcome to promote your book through third-party websites and other services, but we encourage you to monitor the tactics they use to promote your books. You are responsible for ensuring that no tactics used to promote your book manipulate the Kindle publishing service and/or Kindle programs. We advise against using any sites that "guarantee" a return on your investment. We support our authors' efforts to promote their books worldwide, but at the same time we work to prevent any manipulation of the Kindle publishing service." 

Publisher-directed purchasing activity:
If we determine that purchases/borrows of your book are originating from accounts that are attempting to manipulate our services, it may result in termination of your account and loss of royalties.
