Help a new author :)
Hi everyone,
I’m a new author and I’m trying to figure out the best way to actually get my books in front of readers.
I studied theater for 4 years, and after that I started focusing more seriously on writing. I’ve now written and published 3 books on Amazon Kindle.
The writing and publishing part was challenging, but honestly, marketing feels even more confusing.
I’ve tried a few things already, but I still feel like I’m guessing most of the time.
For those of you who have experience promoting books, what has actually worked for you?
Amazon Ads?
BookBub?
Reddit?
TikTok/Instagram?
Newsletter promotions?
ARC readers?
Something else?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually been through this.
I’m not looking for a magic trick I just want to understand where a new author should focus their time and money first.
Thanks in advance.
