Great post Sandra

I use a car analogy for the same subject, If you fill a car with gas and run it until empty,without adding more gas, it’s going to stop.
Selling books is all about marketing continuously.

Warm regards

Good to know – the PR I sent to a local newspaper before my book launch for Beyond Faith last month may not be dead in the water. Thanks Sandra for all your great ideas – especially like your pointer in the link about non-social medial PR of creating a holiday related to your book – might be good in the dead of winter when everyone is fed up with winter.
And I did an art and lit show yesterday and sold more books than anticipated (copies of all three – so for those with more than one book published, listen to Sandra – keep on promoting. Proof here in the er, selling. Even paying a small commission to the club doesn’t bother me now.
Cheers.
Sharon

When you’re ready, there’s SO much you can do to promote your book that doesn’t involve social media! Here are a few ideas:

This is heartening to read. I’d like to think that the publication date doesn’t matter as much as the content. I released my first book at the end of August, and have yet to really promote it outside of my social media circles. Since it’s a memoir, I felt I needed to let the dust it kicked up settle a bit (two empty threats of lawsuits from family members didn’t help).
