• Include a great photo of yourself
• Show a high quality image of your book cover
• Add a short bio that describes you and your book
• Show a book trailer that visually highlights the selling points of your book

One of the best ways to reach your audience, in our opinion, is Facebook. However, if you’re serious, we also advise creating a website with email capture for distribution of updates and promotions. This will allow Facebook fans to visit your page and view the most recent updates.

Get Your Fans Involved

Social media is a fantastic tool for book promotion, but it’s also a fantastic method to engage with your audience. Don’t be scared to approach fans for help—they are more than happy to post about the books they adore!

Here’s how and what to ask them to get involved:

• Submit book reviews to your book through Amazon.
• Share your book across all social media platforms
• Spread the book in their universities or organizations

Devoted followers adore it when you communicate on social media and want to see more of you. If you add incentives like rewards to the mix, you might have a complete operating team and be featured on the front pages of all social media platforms!
