Hello, everyone! Happy Thanksgiving Monday. 🙂 So, I stopped posting about my books for a couple of months on Twitter. I needed a bit of a break from promotion and I’ve been thinking of some other ways I can promote my books aside from posting it there. So, this is what happened when I stopped posting about my books on Twitter:
*Drumroll*
I stopped making sales.
Sorry, maybe this was obvious, but case in point: Promotion is key to selling your books and gaining new readers. Once you stop marketing, the sales will drop. I’d say most of my sales have been from posting on Twitter – and this was 100% free advertising. I didn’t make a lot of money, but the sales were pretty steady on a monthly basis. I’ve never paid for ads before, but I’d like to experiment with that down the line to see what happens. I’ll be posting more about my books again on Twitter and I think now is a good season to get people’s interest in reading. My hope is that people will want to read more with the weather cooling down – or perhaps grab some ebooks to read over the upcoming holidays.
Do you advertise your books on Twitter? If not, where do you promote your work?

Hi, Sara! I couldn’t figure our know how to promote stuff on Twitter. Do you have any advice as to hashtags, etc? Thank you 😄
That’s a great question. :3 I use #selfpromosaturday and #indieauthor. You can also search #selfpromosaturday and some people will post asking for authors to drop their links. Some people sell their work by replying to #writerslift posts, too.
Thank you! 💖 I’m going to give those a try and see what works, and I’ll be happy to circle back here to share the results. Or if I find something new that works, though you’ve probably tried more things than I have. 😊
Ooh yes definitely let me know how it works for you. I hope you’ll be seeing some new sales soon.
Snippets of my books are posted on Twitter, but that’s as far as it goes. I am more trying to get my name out there as far as my writing goes. I won’t pay for marketing, mostly because I can’t afford to lol.
Yes I hear ya. I don’t have anything to put towards marketing at this point. I might try experimenting with $10 here, $20 there and see if it does anything. I’ll certainly be posting the results when I do it! 🙂
Would like to see whether it works. Feel like a one woman band at the moment.
I definitely know the feeling. I hope it will work well for you!
Many my friends advertise their book on Facebook page,personnel what’s app group,business page on Instagram, Twitter, during many oral presentation in power point.
Nice! Thank you for your comment. 🙂 I’ll certainly try to promote mine more.
