THE LOUISVILLE LIGHTWORKER

I am a reverend, creative writer, armchair folklorist, spiritual consultant . This contains information and random thoughts about the delicious and magical world of spirit per my experience, sometimes with a mix of a healthy imagination for added flavor. The subject matter may be set in my home, or on a global scale. This blog represents my own unique take on life with a creative flair!

One of the passive marketing requirements, for your novel to succeed, is to have a stable of reviews on its sales page. The potential buyer wants to read more than your book blurb and look at your pretty cover.

If getting QUALITY and HONEST reviews is part of your marketing plan, you need to become a member of the Book Review CO-OP. Come and visit our site for more info and find out where you are getting your next TEN BOOK REVIEWS!

What Every Indie Author Wants To Know... Marketing Secrets!

2/18/2014

  MARKETING SECRETS FINALLY REVEALED!

Did that header really draw you in? Well, lets get started!

You are at war.Yes, WAR. And like a good General, you must pick your battles, deploy your troops, manage your resources and win the war!  If you are asking “How can I sell more books without spending any money?” , you have failed. You started off asking the wrong question!
There is NO quick fix or “Free marketing” way to get the word out about your novel. Sorry. Posting book link promo bombs in Facebook groups is useless. Tweeting all the time is useless. Those tactics do not lead to direct sales. But they are a weapon (when used correctly) that helps you wage war!

ATTN: INDIE AUTHORS! A message from Author Tom Tinney

2/18/2014

STOP!!
Can we take moment from you Promo Bombing your novel links in Facebook group after Facebook group where only other authors see the post for 1/2 a second before they bomb? Hows that REALLY working for you?

You need to build your marketing profile. That means three things. A Plan to reach a "1000" fan base (Not 100 likes or 100 followers...1000 actual fans), a body of work and HONEST REVIEWS.

We are here to help with the third thing. (BTW, Promo bombing n FB does NOT help the other two. Seriously.) Ready to begin MARKETING your book? You can start with getting quality reviews from other Indie Authors. Go to our site and get serious about taking steps to market your novel. Or keep clicking and bombing and we'll see you tomorrow... and the next day...and the next day... and the next day...
