One of the many struggles of an author starts only after the book is published. Writing can be a struggle in itself, but is your vocation, your passion.

But of course on the other hand there are many self-publishing success stories as well.

Self-promotion on the other hand…

Now that is a totally different matter.

I am here to give you the good news, though!

A book promotion roadmap.

There are plenty sites where you can promote your book and reach a wider audience. Most of these websites are offering you free promotion, especially if you also offer the books for free or with discounts. Some of them you will need to pay in order to benefit their services. Either way, it could be a good start for your new released book or any of your already published books.

For starters, you need to understand that if you want (new) readers, you need to get out there in the world, promote your book, talk about it and make it accessible to everyone.

I make it a easier for you. We compiled a list of sites where you can promote your book.
