Marketing an eBook Anonymous 2016-05-30 08:29:07 Post No. [Report]

I've just published an eBook but I have no marketing experience, no "social media" following or anything of the sort.

Does anybody have experience in this? There are marketing guys on fiverr who say they can do it, but to me it just looks like a scam where they have twitter and facebook pages full of bots that they'll just post it on...

My plan at the moment is to run a free promotion for 3 days and just ask a load of people to review it.

The book subject is on internet culture

>Post about the book on 4chan a whole bunch
>Make it seem really controversial
>Lots of opposing opions
>Create entire threads argueing with yourself
>Call anyone who replies to you out for not even reading it

Might work.

Naked Chicks & Angry Dicks: An Illustration of Internet Insanity

It's essentially just a humorous take on the stupid internet "events" that have unfolded (Fappening, gamergate, dancing man etc)

I wouldn't say it's controversial or even arguable, it's more of a piss take

Yes.
But the advice and contacts aren't free.

It's catchy but people will assume it's about porn, maybe in the YBOP vein.

I have some experience in this, helped a friend out, and been picking the brain of a pal, that has sold thousands on Kindle.

First of all, the free giveaways are not to be dealt with in a haphazard way. They need to be planned, and handled in a concerted fashion.. Hit ALL potential channels during giveaways.

Also, Goodreads is useful, and Bookbub can gain you a fortune if played right (costs money tho).

buy a domain and drip it out in a blog

no one will read it otherwise. if it's good enough to attract a crowd, then that itself can be capitalized upon
