Visibility is a big element of selling books. There is confusion between authors when it comes time to share their work. Book links should be transferred to reach the sale, but where?
How to reach invisibility without becoming a spammer?
Have in your mind that not every person is the same when you want to notify your followers on social media about your new release.
I am allergic to people who contact me in my email or inbox if I have never talked to them before.
It is equal to Jehova's witness ringing on your door and trying to pursue your support or make you join them.
If you contact a person privately, you need to know this:
Say hello and introduce yourself.
Ask the person if he or she is reviewing books.
If you get an answer NO, don't continue the conversation.
If you get an answer YES, ask politely can she or he read your book.
It is possible you will get a positive answer, but you will never receive your review. Be aware that many people who are reading books have a huge TBR list.
If you get your review, say thanks.
You can offer your ARC copy but if you want to sell the book ask if the person is a member of Kindle unlimited. In this case, you will get an increase in your KENP report.
Now, what are the possibilities for sharing your work, and where to do this:
Tag the person. It is recommended only if you have a community that knows you well. Don't tag unknown people, you might get blocked.
Share in the groups. Many groups are on social media and you can join and share your links. Pay attention to their rules.
Share on your website.
Share on your official page on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok.
Pay the ads and your books will be shared in ads.
Pay the promotional sites.
Where is it not recommended to share your links?
On the other's author's pages. That is rude unless you did not get permission to do this.
Under others' personal posts that are not related to books.
Under other's book's links, in a way you write: "Look at mine book." Twitter had a problem with the below-pinned tweets and they changed options for authors to protect their work from intruders.
In private messages when you don't know the person.
Sending emails to people you don't know. I mark this as spam.
If you share your book links despite everything I said here, you might be blocked and reported as a spammer.
And you don't want this.
Every author should keep a professional level because this represents you as an author who is a serious artist.
You don't want to be marked as a pest. You don't want to harass people with your books, this is not your purpose. Besides, authors have mutual conversations. You don't want bad rumors about you.
