8) Get your book reviewed: perhaps this sounds like a no-brainer but youd be astonished how many experts forget this step but its critical and heres why: people like what other people like. What somebody else says about your book is a thousand times far better than anything you could say. Do opinions sell books? Well, yes I believe they do and heres why: in case your book is up on Amazon or another online site and no ones discussing it a potential new reader might not be determined to purchase. Readers rarely get books.

9) Outline several objectives and hit-the promotional road: keep it simple and keep it practical. Long, complex, and involved marketing plans aren't only hard to stick to, theyre probably gonna cost a bunch to you..
