Free Book Marketing With Any Active Order

Publishmojo offers free book marketing with any active order. Order book editing, and your marketing is included at no extra charge. You can work on your manuscript and get help promoting your book through the same service.

What the free book marketing includes

Our marketing service offers three promotion formats. You choose one option per book.

A book description promotion introduces your book through its description. This gives readers a way to learn what the book covers and whether it interests them.

An author interview focuses on you and your book. It gives you room to discuss your work and share the background you want readers to know.

An editorial review provides a written assessment of your book that you can use in your marketing.

Each option includes permanent posts on three book websites. You receive links to the published posts, so you can see them and share them with your readers. Our marketing service details explain these options.

Why book editing and marketing belong in the same plan

Promotion gives readers a reason to look at your book. Then your description, sample pages, and manuscript help them decide whether to keep reading.

Before sharing a sample, check that it reflects the version you plan to publish. Fix errors, unclear sentences, and details that could confuse a reader. If you're still revising, keep track of changes so your promotional copy stays accurate.

Choose the editing service based on what your manuscript needs. Our guide to proofreading, copyediting, and line editing explains the differences. You can also review our book editing services before placing an order.

What to prepare for your book promotion

Start with your book's sales link and a short description. For an interview or editorial review, you can also provide the book in Word or PDF, as outlined on our marketing page.

Before sending your details, open the sales link and check it yourself. Make sure the title, author name, cover, and description match the book you're promoting. If a release date or purchase link has changed, use the current information.

It also helps to decide who you're trying to reach. A parent choosing a picture book needs different details from a reader choosing a business guide. State the subject, intended reader, and reason that person might want the book.

Free book marketing tools you can use yourself

You can support your promotion by keeping your author profiles and book listings current. These are steps you can take yourself alongside your Publishmojo order.

Set up your Amazon Author Page

Amazon Author Central is free to join. It lets you add your books and biography to an Author Page, where readers can find your work in one place.

Claim your page, check the books attached to it, and update your bio. Give readers useful details about your writing and the subjects you cover. Only include credentials and experience that are accurate.

Use the free tools on BookBub

BookBub's free marketing tools include author profiles, book recommendations, and new release alerts. Its release alerts go to an author's BookBub followers.

Add your photo, bio, and book information. Then give readers who already follow your work a link to your profile. Building that following gives future release alerts an audience to reach.

Review your Amazon keywords

Amazon allows up to seven keywords or short phrases in KDP. Its keyword guidance recommends terms that match your book's content and the words readers use to search.

Read your current choices and remove anything that misrepresents the book. Think about its subject, setting, themes, or intended reader. Search Amazon using the terms you're considering and check whether the results fit your book.

Give readers a useful reason to click

When you share a promotion link, add a sentence that explains what readers will find. You might highlight a question from your interview, a point from your review, or the main problem your nonfiction book addresses.

For a hypothetical children's book about starting school, an author could share a short passage and explain the situation it addresses. The post could then link to the book description. Use an example that reflects your actual book, and follow any community's rules before posting.

Build a routine you can keep

Start with one task each week. Update an author profile, share a useful excerpt, or post a link to your interview. Keep a record of what you shared, where you shared it, and the date.

If your tools show clicks or visits, review them before choosing your next step. Record sales separately. A visit doesn't confirm that someone bought the book.

Our promotion provides small amounts of traffic over time. Traffic varies, and sales aren't guaranteed. If people visit your listing without buying, our guide to why a book isn't selling on Amazon offers points to check.
