Author Marketing Tips
Honest answers to the questions every self-publishing author asks.
Is Goodreads Worth It?
Absolutely. Goodreads is the largest community of readers online. Setting up an author profile, participating in groups, running giveaways, and collecting reviews can dramatically boost your book's visibility — especially for new authors.
Do You Need a Website?
A simple author website acts as your home base online. It gives readers a place to find all your books, upcoming events, and a way to join your email list. It doesn't need to be complex — but it needs to exist and look professional.
Should You Have a Facebook Page?
Yes — a dedicated Facebook author page (separate from your personal profile) lets you build a community, share updates, run ads, and engage directly with readers. It's also essential for running any paid promotions.
Social Media Strategy
Don't try to be everywhere. Pick 2-3 platforms where your readers hang out and show up consistently. Share behind-the-scenes content, writing tips, and genuine interactions — not just "buy my book" posts.
Building a Reader Community
Your email list is your most valuable asset. Social media algorithms change, but your email list is yours. Offer a free chapter, short story, or reading guide to encourage sign-ups.
Content That Actually Works
Readers connect with authors, not just books. Share your writing journey, what inspires you, sneak peeks at upcoming work, and honest reflections. Authenticity builds loyal fans who buy every book you publish.
