Always good to review some free ways to market your book. Sandra Beckwith has listed 10. I’d like to add a few more.

11 – When you are selling your book at an event, put a typed note on colored paper inside any book you sell that you sign by hand. You can put anything you like on the note but I like to ask for reviews. I also tell the reader if they order another one of my books, I’ll give it to them for the “sale” price (the slightly discounted price I usually sell my books at when selling in person.) Or if it’s not a big book, maybe free shipping. USPS has book-rate shipping, which helps decrease the shipping cost.

12 – When selling in person, I have a sign on my table that says “I talk at book clubs.” And if a person says they are interested, I tell them if a group wants to buy the books, I can give it to them at a discounted rate.

13 – I know some authors who, again, when selling in person, have an email sign up. If you have a  semi-regular blog or email “newsletter” this is a way to add readers/subscribers.

14 – Get on and participate in Goodreads. I think many authors miss this one.
