Following are more tips for promoting your non-fiction self published books.

* Write Articles

One of the most important things an author of a non-fiction book can do is to prove themselves as an expert in the field written about. Writing articles for newspapers and magazines is a great way to show your expertise as well as draw attention to your book.

* Create a Website

Putting together a website has never been easier than it is today. Overnight you can put together a website that can promote both you and your book. A site is a perfect way to advertise your self publishing efforts by giving readers a peak at a chapter and also news on upcoming book signings and/or future books you’ll be releasing.

* Giveaways

If you have a website, consider giving away some items for free. Have people sign up for a newsletter to get a mug with the name of your book, give away book markers with your name or even have a contest with one of your books as the prize.

* Teach a Class

Contact your local community college to offer to teach a continuing education class on whatever subject you’re an expert in. Not only can you get some experience teaching but you’ll also have a whole new set of people who will be interested in buying your book.

Use a few of these suggestions or a combination of suggestions to find what works best for you. The main thing is to circulate the word about your book. Book publishers are usually very good about doing this but as a novice to the book publishing field, you’ll have to learn what works and what doesn’t.

Self publishing is a great way to get your work in front of a mass of people—with the right marketing.
