Has this happened to you? You’re chatting about your book on Amazon and they react to the word “Amazon” as though you mentioned the Devil. They want to ban Amazon. Well I’d rather ban indie bookstores before banning Amazon.
I recommend authors look into hiring a book shepherd for a current or upcoming writing and publishing project. A book shepherd is someone whose expertise in books and publishing will help you throughout the entire book process. From cover art, editing, dealing with Amazon to locating a printer, a book shepherd will assist you from start to finish.
Scan Twitter or Facebook streams, and you will see it over and over again, authors asking for people to support their book, to share it and promote it. Some will even write simply “Buy my book,” over and over again and wonder why nobody does. They are forgetting to add any kind of value to a potential reader’s life.
A lot of the authors I talk to think book trailers don’t do anything. But the reality is that if the book trailer isn’t easy to find on YouTube, it will never be seen. This post will show you how to get a ton of viewers to find and watch your video.
