5 Fast and Fun Book Promotion Tips
- Host a Virtual Summit
- Be a Guest and share the story behind the story
- Write Articles
- Create infographics from your book content
- 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.
