I'm still learning the art of marketing and sellling the book.

[Sean Toh]

Hi, I'm Sean Toh from Singapore. I have just written, self published and distributed my new book to all major bookstores in Singapore. I 'm still very curious on how to market my book to be a best-seller in Singapore that I bought this book by John kremer - "1001 ways to market your book". I have started reading it and also joined Book Marketing Network to learn from all writers out there who are willing to be my mentors as I'm pretty new to the world of writting, publishing and marketing book. Please guide me along as I 'm most willing to learn from all of you. Hopefully, we can work together in the future and launch a new book in Singapore. Thanks to all my mentors

I will encourage you to be very creative in marketing your book don't be afraid to step out of the box.

Congratulations on getting into all major bookstores - that's great! Now all you have to do is work on promoting it. Contact your local newspapers to see if they will do a story on you. Contact local radio stations to see if you can get an interview - you'll need to send in a review copy. Contact magazines that relate to your target audience to see if you can get a review printed. Promote online via a bookstore and if you get the opportunity to speak at events, then do so. Perhaps even contact some libraries to see if you can do a reading and book signing. Good luck!

Sounds like you have a good start. I've learned a lot by simply visiting and participating on the various author and writer online forums and social networks - no better place then to hear other peoples experiences. From my experience, there seems to be no one way to go about marketing a book; I agree with Shontell, think outside the box.
