20. Here’s
mine: What
prompts the BDM girls to help their disabled friends? #Holocausteducation
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Girl-Smart-Uniform-Schellberg-Cycle-ebook/dp/B07VKBFZYN
21.
Post something about the book on a relevant
Facebook group. Avoid “Buy my book” but allow that also to be a
possibility.
22.
I put this on my 1940s Facebook group.
23.
Trying to get into the heads of these young
German women. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Girl-Smart-Uniform-Schellberg-Cycle-ebook/dp/B07VKBFZYN
I'm absolutely convinced that the BDM
(girl's Hitler youth) uniform was a boon to young women who had been brought up
through the depression and who could probably remember the hyperinflation in
Germany: the smart calf-length skirt, dazzling white shirt and trendy flying
jacket. Some even got to wear luxurious-looking great coats. But actually
photos show all sorts of odd footwear.
24.
Note: Facebook will drag the link in and show
the page you’re linking to. This makes it more interesting for your
reader.
25.
Approach a blogger to see if they will feature
you and / or your blog. No won’t hurt you and at least they’ll have heard of
you. Yes will mean you’ll get some publicity.
26.
I actually approached the editor of the book for
this one.
27.
Request one review – from a friend, family,
follower or fan. Send them the PDF or mobi-file we provide as long as we haven’t
yet got 50 reviews on Amazon. Don’t
worry if they say no. You’ve reminded them that you’re a writer. They may even say yes.
28.
Experiment with key words on Amazon that might
be relevant to your book until you get to 100-600 books suggested. Make sure your book is included. Now, write
some copy for your blog, web site or Facebook page than includes those key
words.
29.
Promote this book and two others in a physical package.
If we’ve published all three we can do the package for you. But discuss it
first with us so that we get the price right. You collect the orders at full
price and the money, and pass the orders and 75% of the money on to us. If
you’re mixing and matching with ones we’ve published and others published
elsewhere you can still put off ordering from us if you’re out of stock until
your orders and payments are in.
30.
Post an excerpt of your book somewhere –
Facebook page, blog, web-site with a call to action
