Marketing Guest Article On Elgee Writes

Gayathri describes herself as ‘a book worm trying to read everything I can during the night and when I am commuting in a train or standing in a queue or in the loo. Okay you got me, I read pretty much everywhere!’ 

She started The Elgee Writes blog as a safe haven to talk about the books she read like a private review blog, sprinkled with personal stories. Since then Elgee Writes has evolved into a full fledged book blog aimed at publishers, writers, bloggers and readers, alike.

Focusing on bringing books, authors and blogging together, for writers, readers and publishers alike, it aims to bring everything in one place.

Which is how I found myself writing an article about book marketing for the site some time ago, and despite it being published in 2019 every bit of advice still holds true today.

“I’m an indie author, (with a marketing background) and keep finding posts on writer’s forums like ‘so I published my book, but only sold two copies in the last year, I don’t know why I bothered….’

Contrary to some people’s opinion that “when the book is written the work is done”, self-publishing isn’t just about writing, finding a good editor, choosing a publisher, getting an ISBN, formatting the book, designing the cover and choosing your price.  It also needs to about becoming your own agent, marketing department and cheerleeader.  You can throw lots of money at marketing, but that might not help – what are you spending your money on?”

If you want to read this informative and still very much relevant article to kick start your book marketing follow the link – why not pop over and have a read.
