Marketing Your Book Tip: Get reviews and testimonials

Book Marketing 101:
If you're putting out a book, and you're a no-name author (no offense; I'm a no-namer, too!), you MUST do all your can to boost your book's credibility for more sales. This includes 1.) Getting a great cover, 2.) Doing a trailer or video, 3.) Getting reviews

Thinking you'll pop it up on amazon and whizz to the top is surely not your best bet. You have to PUSH it up there! By making sure it's eye-catching, has visibility (videos) and has reviews that sell it, will help it boost in sales and exposure. For some budget ideas for marketing and getting your book a video review, visit http://www.getyourspotlight.com

Covers can be designed for just $99 at http://www.moehr-associates.com (yep, it's me) and you can put out a press release a week for good SEO coverage at www.seopressreleases.com. I've used it and it works quickly and efficiently for SEO expsoure.

As a writer, the problem exists: Most writers who truly write are not really going to want to get up and speak in front of crowds and hawk their wares (books), right? So how to overcome this?
