Should I continue to promote/market books?

It has been over a year since I posted on this blog. During this time, I have been thinking if I should start promoting/marketing books again.

I have been asking myself:

  • Would authors need/want my help in promoting/marketing their books?
  • What kind of help do authors need?
  • If I continue promoting/marketing books, what would it look like?
  • Do I have anything of value to offer authors?

Let me know if you need help and what do you think that help should look like.

How much does it cost to self-publish?

If you are not familiar with Book Design Made Simple, I suggest you check out their web site.

(No, I am not an affiliate and I do not get paid to advertise this web site. I am sharing it, in the hope that it might help someone.)

Indie writers/authors and many of those who are traditionally published know how hard it is to market your book.

For beginner writers/authors wanting to know how much does it cost to publish a book, I suggest Book Design Made Simple’s post titled “How much does it cost to self-publish?”

This article states, “Please don’t let anyone persuade you that you can produce a printed book that is up to publishing industry standards—and also market it—for free, because that’s simply not true.”

The article also includes a “Self-Publishing Costs Checklist” to give you an idea of what it does cost to publish a printed book and it gives tips and links to other resources. Some resources include links to royalty-free stock photos, book design software, and the Library of Congress for copyright information.
