Trailers, interviews, IG and FB live
videos work well.
What’s your views on social media for
marketing?
It is a great avenue to reach masses of
people without a million dollar budget.
Which social network worked best for
you?
FB and Twitter at this time.
What do you do to get book reviews?
I contact book reviewers, book clubs,
author hosting sites to get book reviews
in addition to asking those that have
read the book to provide feedback.
Do you have a strategy for finding
reviewers?
I look for the number of viewers,
demographics they reach, listen to past
shows the host has done and potential
cost if any due to finances.
What are your thoughts on good/bad
reviews?
To me good or bad reviews will help you
to improve your work either way.
Do you think that giving books away free
works and why?
I have mixed emotions about giving
away my books for free, but if it’s for a
good cause or given to the right hands it
will pay off for me.
Is there any marketing technique you
used that had an immediate impact on
your sales figures?
One marketing technique that got me
viewers for potential sales was providing
interaction with patrons to be involved in
the book.
Do you have a trailer or do you intend to
create one for your own books?
I have one, but I need a new more
exciting trailer.
