I have too many books! How do I market them without breaking the bank?

by theteach

I have self-published 9 books, as well, I have appended my own lessons to over 25 classic novels.

With almost 35 books, how can I market them without breaking the bank?

I've used fiverr (and was quite pleased with the results) to create book trailers and blast them throughout video sharing sites. I don't think I can do this for 33 more titles!

Would article marketing help?

Any other ideas would be much appreciated.

    I would write some PR articles and also do a book tour. You could also try promoting the books on niche forums and book clubs.

    Create a good cover picture.
    Go to amazon and get it listed.
    Buy some fiver reviews so it gets some exposure, and make some bank

    Joseph,

    Some are on kindle but most are paperback.


    Broderick,

    I don't want to pay for reviews because the reviewers on fiverr didn't really read my book and I want honest reviews. Also, I've heard that accounts related to false reviews have been banned so I don't want to go there.

    You should create a seperate website for each series of books. And leak the first few chapters.

    Then create a branded "Author" Website. Talk about why your the authority in your book topics.

    You can get honest reviews. The secret is to start selling them at the lowest price points so people will buy them.

    Secondly giveaway free books to market influencers. Find out who the leaders are in the niche and give it away. Your hoping that they will read it and give you a positive review in their blog or newsletter

    I agree with Thomas, making a site with a few chapters free for signing up to your newsletter with a related gift as well. Then after 3 or 4 emails a few days apart, giving good content, have your signature at the email footer with your book link

    Good tips here. I would definitely create an author hub/website for each author name. Building a list is a must. You can reach out as well to related blogs in your book niches and arrange an interview or a guest blogging spot as well.

    I would simply bundle all your books together in a packages of 5 and 10 and sell them at a special price and offer your other book packages on the backend at a very special price to your customers.

    I wish you much success,
