Trying to figure out how to promote my fitness book, "How to Lose 10 Pounds in 30 Days". I have a website that I've had for years but don't know how to make money out of it. Nothing really works. I am not even really sure how to see how many visitors I get. I have a few plugins but one says an outrageous number that I don't believe and the Google plugin is way too confusing for me. I'm not an internet marketer; I have no knowledge of it even tho I've tried for years. I'm a graphics guy, and a fitness guy .

So I tried marketing my book at 99 cents for Black freaking Friday and emailed my list of which I only have around 160 subscribers (many of them fake, I'm sure) and I promoted on my FB, Twitter, IG etc but got no freaking sales. Disappointed to say the least.

I'm thinking of paying for ad banners somewhere but where?? I don't even have a day job since I freelance graphic design so I cannot spend a sh!tload. It's a good book with honest, useful info. No "cheat" or "neat trick the trainers hate" scammy bullsh!t. It's real info. wtf? How would you market it to get sales?

    Hi:

    Consider doing paid advertising on Amazon. There's a course here in Warrior forum. I think it is $17 now. It's written by Richard Lowe. Look it up.It comes with a 100% money back guarantee. Another blogger Shelly Hitz says she used it and increased her sales. It's suppose to teach a low cost way to advertise your book on Amazon.

    Good luck,

    Dan

      Facebook won't let me advertise because they don't allow "unsubstantiated claims".

    Try Amazon Ads (just google it):they are specifically made for advertising a book.

    And build a page around the topic of your book, do some lead generation and promote the book in your funnel to your Email List

    Couple of pieces of advice...

    1. Your website needs work...it should start with a hard-hitting headline, include your testimonials right up front (if the testimonials from Amazon are real, then you can use a couple of the better ones and add any others you have - give away a few copies to get additional testimonials - ideally video testimonials if you can)

    2. I would recommend you try a version on Clickbank at a higher price point and spend a couple of weeks finding affiliates (once your website is improved) - you will find some very good affiliates in this space that can really drive your sales if your product is as good as the Amazon reviews you have indicate

    3. Produce content - youtube, facebook, instagram are all good places to produce daily content - a video post, q&a, written content, etc... will build you a following and drive traffic to your page

    4. Advertise - but here you will need to have your price point higher and your landing page will need to be converting or you will be flushing money down the toilet - fix these things and you can do very well with ads
