There are over one million ebooks on Amazon - hat's a lot of books! As an unknown author it's very easy to drown in the sea of titles. Unless you have a huge network of friends, family and associates willing to push your book hard, marketing and promotion is necessary to sell books. It takes time, energy and yes, money. I think every author should have some type of a monthly promo budget to work with. Of course there are free avenues too, guest blogs and social media outlets are great but have a limited reach. No matter what type of promo you decide to use, consistency and persistence is key.Sandra Renee Pessohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206247562167014745noreply@blogger.com
