My tips for writing a novel: Part 4: Promoting your book.

By ©Demonia 

In person:  

Tell your friends and family, etc. You are going to send them a copy of your novel.  Ask them what they think. If they like it, kindly ask them to spread the word that you have written something or if they know any people who like to read books, or are in book clubs, or work at a bookstore. 

Online:  

Any social media platforms…. (I try to avoid those dating social media platforms). 

I used to think I would never make social media accounts because there are trolls everywhere. Even some authors are epic trolls. 

Try to find like-minded people; it never hurts to try. Try to post FREQUENTLY. Make sure you POST EVERY DAY; that is the most important part. That is what keeps you active and visible. That is how you win the game.  

Write about yourself, or what you do, write positive affirmations, to gain views and followers . ANYTHING. Use hashtags! 

Merch: 

Go for it. I’ve seen so much merch lately …. people promoting their merch on all kinds of products.

There are sites where you can design your own merch on t-shirts, hoodies, leggings, hats, notebooks, journals, stickers, etc…….. 

Hiring a team: 

You can spend the extra money and hire people to promote ‘whatever it is you are promoting’ in the most popular magazines, and on TV shows…. Just be careful and make sure it’s a REAL PR-Team. 

If you are like me, and don’t have the time for all that crazy bullshit, then you can just find regular people to review your novels online, through social media. The more time you spend building your social media platforms, the more you will get noticed. SO, GOOD LUCK.
