You may think it costs money to get promotion, publicity, or exposure, but it doesn’t. It just takes a little research and the guts. Being selfish means that you have to get used to talking about yourself and always looking for new ways and angles to reach the media. I can use myself as an example:

Self publishing a book means that I am constantly promoting myself. On my own, I have managed to get into magazines and newspapers that I never thought I could get into. Here are some tips on how I did it.

1. I know the topics inside and outside of my book.

    For. This means that I can divide my book into different areas of promotion. Of the topics found within my book. My book is about modeling, but it’s also about the internet, so for example I’m currently marketing it in the tech sections of magazines and newspapers. B. I allow my book to be fluid, it can be sexy, but at the same time it can be very serious and depending on who I am releasing it to, my press release and email change.

2. I research books that have a similar theme. And I Google those books and then I research what magazines, newspapers and blogs have featured these books and I research the writers, what I mean is I research who has written on this kind of topic and I think of a way that I could win this. . Writers interest in an article about my book, including a similarity and also how my book is different.

3. Use the Internet as a source of promotion. Join blogs, create a Myspace page, Facebook, get involved with the online community and charities and organizations that might have something to do with your book. This way also if an editor or writer wants to write about you, they can also find your website and your profile and learn more about you and your book.

4. The magazines are printed once a month, so the possibilities of a magazine are less than those of a newspaper that is published every day. So if you have a local newspaper, send them a sample of your book or your book and don’t be afraid to seriously write your own editorial. As in, write a story about yourself and submit it. If the newspaper is very busy but there is room for an article and the press release you sent out is decent, you better use it and run the story.

5. Always look around you. Ideas are everywhere. Today, on the way home, I took the Village Voice sitting on the subway bench, with it, tonight I plan to explore all the names of writers and stories that have the slightest similarity to my book. Then I’ll google them. Then I will prepare a custom Word letter for your article and mention my book and ask for the opportunity to review it, I will mention some points where my book shines, the unique factors, but I will keep it to only two paragraphs. The way to get press is to not go on and on. Be quick, to the point, and follow up with a phone call.

6. Write about your book in ten different ways. Think of different ways to approach the press. I send myself to publishers and magazines for fashion, technology, books, lifestyle and women, and newspapers and do not forget that the website is a great tool to promote yourself, so please send an email and contact websites that include stories with similar themes related to your book. .

7. Email! It saves a stamp and postage, and compared to cold mailing the book – and you can usually email a sample of your book as well – it’s a quick way to introduce yourself without spending any money.
