Writer Promotion Requires an Open Mind
Authors Need An Open Mind in Book Promotion
Remember that we
never know where the best promotional ideas will originate.
Give people the chance to share their thoughts and
suggestions. This is when you need to keep an open mind.
Once you consider the idea, decide if you can use the
suggestion. If you don’t understand the idea, ask questions.
I’ve found that many times, suggestions can give me ideas to
use, or it may spur new thoughts and ideas.
The simple answer
is to give people a chance to give you ideas about how to
promote your books. If the thoughts are useless, then toss
them. Very few suggestions turn into wonderful ideas, but
you will never find the golden nuggets if you don’t open
your mind.
Curious Authors Can Have Great Promotional
Success
Are you a curious
person? Do you like to learn more about the things around
you? Find a way to use that inborn curiosity to offer better
books to your readers. It can also help you discover new
ways to promote your work to potential readers. No matter
whether you are offering one book or twenty books, you can
find better ways to promote them.
Creativity
Is Essential For Authors
Authors must be
creative in their writing, so why not be creative with your
book promotion? Curiosity offers you a chance to stretch
your promotional creativity. This is a example of “thinking
outside the box”. Open your mind and let your imagination
run free. Transfer those ideas to your promotional plans.
This doesn’t mean that everything you try will work
perfectly. You will probably need to make adjustments, but
it gets a little better with each change.
