Publicizing your book, Web site or products can be a daunting task if you don't know what you are doing. I'm not talking about you budding fiction writers out there trying to emulate Mary Shelly, Stephen King, John Grisham and Mark Twain. These established fiction writers have a built in audience, they don't have to go out and try and promote their new or other books. They already have a fan base to market to.
I'm talking about nonfiction writing. And nonfiction is the easiest way to get started in your writing career. Everybody has at least one book in their heads that is just waiting to be written. Even if you can't write a lick, there are sites out there for out sourcing your final manuscript - site such as vworker.com or elance.com. Anybody can do an outline with bullet-points. Once you have an outline complete, go out and hire a ghostwriter to finish the product.
Think you can't make any money with your book? Think again. Today's ease of getting your book published as an independent publisher on Amazon.com and other online sites makes publishing nonfiction easy-as-pie. But the book part of your journey is just the beginning. Ok, it's nice to sell a few books daily on Amazon.com - so you make $30 -$50 per day. Multiply that by ten or a hundred, and you have a nice little living.
But what if you wanted to do what the zillionaires of the writing world do?Promote, promote and then promote some more. And the best and cheapest way to promote is through an information starved media. The media is everywhere, 24/7 365 days per year, and they need information and content for their info starved audience. This is where you come in. Find and isolate your audience through a relevant media, then promote the crap out of yourself and your products.
Most writers are lucky to make $1000 per book. What do the "real lucky" ones do? They promote. Writing books is just a sideline - your real job is to promote.
