Marketing Strategies to Make your Book Successful
Have you ever dreamed of seeing your book on the shelves of major bookstores or being discussed on social media platforms, but weren't sure how to make it a reality?
Self-publishing empowers aspiring authors to bring their manuscripts to market independently. Traditional publishers are selective, often rejecting works that don't promise high sales. However, with print-on-demand (POD) technology, self-publishing has opened new doors for writers in India, enabling them to publish, market, and sell their books directly. Here's how you can effectively market your self-published book with White Falcon Publishing.
