I have an ebook about a famous pop star. It is a trivia book of 50 questions about the person. What ways can I market it to make sales. So far I have 13 views and no sales. I have few friends on Facebook and Twitter. Anyone have any good ideas? Thanks

    How much are you trying to sell a book with 50 questions for? and there are a multitude of websites that do quizzes for free, what sets you apart?

    I actually have a series of 4 books, so a total of 200 questions. They are $5 each or all four for $15. I guess there isn't really a big difference between mine and theres, except mine is on an ebook reader like kindle

    I would try Facebook for this. You can directly target fans of that pop star.

    I take no pleasure in being negative, but that sounds like a tough sell. Quizzes are casual distractions you find in magazines and on websites - people don't tend to pay for them unless there is an element of competition.

    Perhaps you could consider reframing the book, such as 200 Facts About So-and-So, a bit like those annuals you used to get as a kid about your favourite movie stars and music groups.

    I'm sorry but I will be incredibly amazed if you make any sales on this, I'm guessing the majority, if not all of the information in the ebook, is available on the internet for free. People buy things because they can't get it for free anywhere else.

    What if I put all 200 questions into one ebook? And maybe add something else to it

    I believe this ebook can sell quickly on social media ads, if you target right audience, particular groups and pages about that pop star you will surely hit sales.

    How about contacting some media outlets like a local radio station that plays that type of music and get them to play the trivia game with their listeners and give you a plug? OK, good luck, Edward Smith.
