Approximately 200,000 - 400,000 books are published each year just in the U.S. (figures vary depending on who's counting and what's included.) When my first book was published, I promised myself that, no matter how everything turned out, I was going to do everything possible to make my books successful. I've learned a lot as my series has progressed. I've seen some techniques work beyond my wildest imagination, while a few fizzled. Now, I want to share those insights with you so that your new book has the best chance for success. This book shares my secrets for successful book tours, attention-getting internet promotions, exciting websites and dynamic media interviews. You'll also discover tips I gathered some of my author friends, who have learned the hard way what worked and what didn't. You don't have to be an extrovert to make these techniques work for you. Many of these techniques can be done online without ever having to go in front of a crowd. If you're not shy, there are more options open to you. Likewise, you don't need a degree in marketing to market your book successfully. On the other hand, anything you've ever learned or observed about successful sales and marketing won't hurt. So dive in with enthusiasm. Experiment, remix and recombine my suggestions. Find an approach that works for you. Just get out there and live your dream!
