Gems For The Frugal Author

For the frugal author free marketing, building a online presence and creating a network is very important. Here are some sites that will help you to accomplish this.

They call it the social craze. Twitter! I have registered and become a member at many social sites over the years to include Twitter.

~ Author Book Promo
~ Christ Blogger

~ I'd also like to invite you to check out Entre Card which is a great way to promote and market your authors site / blog.

~ Another great site as many of you know is the AuthorsDen, so if you haven't checked it out, be sure to.

Book Checking Sites. While these sites don't offer free marketing, you might see if your book is listed on them already.

~ Here's a site that is worth looking into. The Book Buttler. It will search up to 100 sites by authors name, title, or ISBN. You just might enjoy doing a search of your book. Don't forget to print out the pages for your scrap book.

~ Here's another fun search engine for authors and books. Book Finder.

The Frugal Author, Author Promotions & Book Marketing

Being frugal as a author doesn't mean "everything is free" nor should a author attempt to become a online marketing expert when it comes to frugal author promotions. Being frugal as a author simply means "applying wisdom" and "getting the most for your dollar".

It seems these days that authors believe or have somehow come to believe that the best author promotions and book marketing is free. Consider the following:

How many million seller books became million sellers books around free online marketing?
How many of the top ten selling books became what they are around free online marketing?

Just recently I was contacted by a marketing agency to market a particular author. The author has sold millions of copies of books, has a mass following in the millions and also the funding to pay for television programming and commercials. Yet here I found myself with a marketing project before me for this very author.

My point being is this. If as a author you believe that you going to market your book through free marketing by joining this site and that site coupled with networking with other authors in authors groups, clubs and forums. You are and have been misled.

You must find ways to professionally promote and market your books and this will require setting aside a marketing budget to work with. Besides I thought authors, authored books. I mean after all, you didn't start out to become a online promoter or marketer did you?

Let the marketing experts handle your marketing needs and as a author focus on writing, doing local book signings, attending book conferences and being a author.
