Author Services: Marketing… Yes!!! You Can’t Live Without It with Paulette Harper

Marketing… Yes Can’t Live Without It

When I wrote my first book, That Was Then, This Is Now, I was under the impression that my publisher was going to promote my book.  I soon found out that the publisher was only going to give a fraction of the time in helping me promote and market my book.  Given the limited resources I had, I believe I did a great job of breaking into the market, making people aware of my presence. Here are a few things to do to get started.

1. Send review copies of your books to book clubs and to all the journal and magazines that review books in your genre.  Most publishers will do this, but it never hurts to research other places that you can submit a copy of your book. There are plenty of places on-line that will review your book for “free”.

2. Create a web page for the book. Now you can exchange links and drive traffic to the site with comments, blogs, quotes, and excerpts. Be sure to have buy links available.

3. Offer sample chapter as free downloads on your website. This is an excellent way to “tease” readers to want more. Make sure the chapters you are offering are your best chapters, and turn those chapters into PDF files.

4. Offer yourself for interviews on radio. Most radio stations are eager to interview newly-published authors.

5. Create a launch page for your book.

Love is one of the most consumed terms in the human language. It’s probably the most wrongly used word, but the word that is most necessary when used correctly. With an inaccurate definition of love we find ourselves searching for something to fulfill us, but in all of our searching we miss it. We miss it because unfortunately we don’t recognize that we are already perfectly loved. The problem is not the overuse of the word love. If it were up to God, we would use it at all times. The problem is, we say the word but don’t do any of the actions that come with its meaning. The problem is that we don’t know what God wanted it to mean, because we don’t give God the credit for the most amazing thing He ever created—LOVE!

Perfectly Loved will bring us back to the understanding of love from the creator and embodiment of love Himself. Each chapter includes “Think About It” questions and a study verse that are perfect for individual study, Bible Study, and small group lessons. As you explore how God loves you, you will also build love in your relationships with other people, and God. When you discover “perfect love” you will be able to relinquish your fears, push through your adversity, and serve others with love.
