Marketing starts even before our books are published.

As much as we don't want to hear it, book marketing is a huge part of becoming a successful author.

Never use the phrase: 'buy my book' - ever.

Don't give up before you get off your feet. Put the time in to learn what you can, build relationships, and develop quality content.

Book marketing should be a planned process, an art if you will.

One of the best book marketing tips I can give you is simply building relationships - well that and publishing more books.

Be knowledgeable in your niche, provide some information free of charge, and share other trustworthy people's free resources whenever possible.
