if you don’t care about having a million seller, you need to
promote yourself and your book. It’s not enough to be mildly
interested in selling enough books to earn a little money. You
should be very concerned about publicizing.
You must be dedicated.
You must be devoted.
You must be determined
and stubbornly obsessive.
You must also get a head start. I

was completed. To help you get started, I’ve listed some
suggestions gleaned from my own experience. This is a list of some
fun and easy ways to promote your book, divided into the three
categories listed below.

These ideas are just the tip of the
ice berg, but they will at least help you to begin thinking like a
promoter and not just an author. This list is always growing, so
