Spreading the Word!

 So now you have your books and source book all ready to go.  How do you tell the world all about it?

If you are self-publishing on Amazon, there is something called an "Author Page".  There are some real good guides on what you need to do to set one up and attach them to your books you are trying to sell, so use Google to find one that works for you.  Here a few things you will need when you go to do so:

1) A good biography.  People like to know about the person writing their awesome novel!

2) A list of books.  There may only be one, if it's your first go, but make sure to get all books, even if you are just publishing book three in a series.  If someone likes one of your books, they might be more willing to buy another from you.

3) Website and blog info.  How can they learn more about your world/novels/you?  The author page is great, but you can't really go into your novels. (Friday I will talk about websites).

4) Book trailers.  This is a newer thing, where you actually do a video about your book.  It can be you talking about your book or even a movie trailer type video.  Your creativity is the limit!

5) Author photos.  This is up to  you.  You probably had at least one on your book cover, but it really depends on how much you want to show the world.

6) A follow button.  When you post new stuff you want readers to see it, especially it is about a new release!

Keep on writing!
