5 Fast and Fun Book Promotion Tips

1. Host a Virtual Summit
2. Be a Guest and share the story behind the story
3. Write Articles
4. Create infographics from your book content
5. Speak at Conferences

An idea from one of the breakout room discussions: take your book and your smartphone outside and ask people at random to tell you what they think your book is about based on the cover! Record the short Q&A'a and post them online. This is a fun way to engage with your community and get eyeballs on you and your book.
