Re: succesful ways to promote
I blog, tweet, FB and have a website (http://www.christinaneely.com). I spend a lot of time on Goodreads and did a book giveaway. I'm on a few "to-read" shelves but it hasn't yielded many sales.

Re: succesful ways to promote
Forgot about thisBan me now wrote:In 90 day I can do that. In the beginning I had a book that 50 people bought, and based on thise sales I continued to sell. Not a lot, but one to three a week. Hopefully this will amount to continued sales over a long time
My free promo on Amazon was a huge success. I've been selling 5-25 books a day now for a few months

Re: succesful ways to promote
I found that really having a blog and letting readers know you as an author has been helpful. Also, participating in blog tours has been great as well.
I also found through another forum this new site called, Bookpinning. I know that they're looking to feature new authors and are open to indie.
Hope that helps!!

It is tough.
The only promotional tool for that is to work harder
Writing the next book is good too

Re: succesful ways to promote
I'm in Spain and writing in English so it doesn't help for me to do physical promotions locally. I do my promotions online.
I blog regularly, I use Twitter and Facebook to connect with readers and authors, and I make use of KDP select to do free promotions. I always list details of my free promotion on all of the Kindle sites, send details to my list of subscribers from my website, set up a Goodreads events etc. and then also arrange advertising for a few days following the free promotion to keep the momentum going. It's worked out really well.

Re: succesful ways to promote
if a book could talk it would take 3 days to tell its tale. YOU have to speak for your work before anyone else is going to take the time to actually read it. (And speak quickly, for attention spans are shrinking!) Networking is one way of getting your foot in the door to give that initial pitch.
Secondly, in a world with lots of talent, success requires more than simply being great. If two deserving submissions are under consideration by an editor, which one do you think will be accepted? – The one written by the author who did the more effective networking, of course!
