Marketing is getting your book seen by readers.
Promoting is building an image, a name. It is a lot of work, but can also be a lot of fun.
I've been writing a marketing newsletter for a little over a year now. 'Stepping Stones’ is a monthly newsletter for authors whose characters face and overcome hardships in life, and end up turning stumbling blocks into Stepping stones. It's for authors of fiction and non-fiction. Since I am helping in a small way through the newsletter, I do not accept subscriptions from writers whose books are occultic or sexually violent and explicit.
Each month the newsletter focuses on an innovative marketing idea. I go beyond the basics. It also contains announcements for new book releases, links, links to book reviewers, and more. The newsletter has been so well received that some authors have suggested I work it into a book, which I am doing. I am going to print it myself into a spiral type notebook. But I have to figure out a way to make it so I can add marketing ideas later. It'll come to me.
Next week November's issue will be out and the marketing idea will help with book signings. This idea I have prepared for a signing I am having on Saturday. I am delaying the release of the newsletter until next week so I can see how people at the signing react to the marketing idea.
