Social Media
In the current book publishing scenario, it has become easier than ever to get published. What remains elusive is finding readers. No matter how good your book is, if the audience does not know about it, they will never get around to buying it, reviewing it or promoting it. With a detailed analysis of the book marketing activities of bestselling authors worldwide, we have brought together the best practices which give you a fighting chance at being noticed in the crowded book world.
Book Reviews
Bloggers
A significant advantage that traditionally published books have over self-published books is the blogger and consumer reviews they get due to readers not being aware of self published books.
Proven Efficient
While the media reviews appear in newspapers and magazines, most are relevant for just a day or a week. With limited book reviews on the internet, what is a must is a significant number of consumer and blogger reviews that are perpetually present on the web. Anyone surfing for the book also gets to see what other consumers and readers have to say about the book and this, in turn, helps in forming the buyer’s final decision.
Newspapers and Magazines
Just like sports fans head to the last pages of the newspaper every day, book buyers check out the book review columns of newspapers and magazines to get a list of the recommended books.

Video Trailer
What’s not to love about book trailers?
A book trailer is all about making the readers relate to the story and suggesting various emotions that will allow the reader to better understand what the book is all about. Book trailers are a new concept of marketing the author’s book, but they work well, especially when they are designed in a professional way. The book trailer’s ability to bring out the essence of the book in a short and entertaining manner can help boost the author sales.
