All first time authors, and really most authors need to follow a few rules of marketing. Whether you hire a marketing company or plan on doing your own marketing, one very important strategy is to let your book work for you. There are many ways to do this, and you must be prepared to give away a large sum of books, at least 50 to start with. To make the books work for you, you need to be smart handing them out. Give them to people who will take the books further, people that can extend the reach of the books to a wider market. They could be librarians, media representatives and personalities, book store owners, reviewers and many more. With the genre of your books considered, carefully distinguish how to best use your books. To promote the books by giving away copies or offering books as prizes for competitions or games is a great way to get the word out. Word of mouth is a superb way to market, and it must start somewhere. Giving away copies of your book is a a quick and actually expected method of promotion. It really is a cost effective when you consider the value of each book and its possible range. In the right hands a free book can create a priceless marketing strategy.
