Use the ideas to create a buzz about your book without breaking your budget. While some of them won’t be right for you, many ideas will be a good fit. The more ideas you use, the better. People often take their time before making a decision to buy, and the more often they hear about your book, the more likely they are to buy it. Keep coming at them in different ways with the message about your book and what it can do for them.

Don’t be too quick to discard an idea, thinking that you can’t do it or it won’t work for you. Just because you’ve never done something before, don’t assume that you can’t do it, whether it’s making a speech, doing a TV or radio interview, or staging an outrageous stunt.

These ideas are also good brain food: think about them, and see what else you can grow. Can you put a twist on one of them or combine two of them in an interesting way?

Pick a few ideas that appeal to you and put them to work right away. Time to see results will vary. Choose a good mix of ideas to start generating book sales and to keep selling for a long time to come!

.Colleges, community centers and continuing education programs are always looking for interesting classes. If you were to become an instructor, information about you and your book would be printed in every catalog.

.Hold a book signing party. It may be at a bookstore, but why not try someplace different? If your book is about animals, hold it at a pet store or the gift shop at the zoo. For a beauty book, why not try a salon?

.Check the newspaper for meeting notices, and ask your friends about their groups. Then call and offer your services. You won’t get paid, but they usually feed you and you’ll get to sell books after your talk.

What is your wildest dream of success? Imagine it, and then take steps to make it come true.

First, start with what is known as a free-write. Just let you mind go, and keep your pen moving. Think about what it is you want your book to convey, and what the purpose of your book might be. Is it to teach your audience something? To make them laugh? To simply delight and amaze? All of the above? With whatever it is that you have in mind as a basic guide, just let your imagination take over for now and get words and thoughts on the page. Once you have some ideas down, you can begin to organize them into a narrative that you think your audience will enjoy. Remember that at this stage of their development, children do like a clear beginning, middle and end to their stories, and that you won’t want to leave a lot of questions unanswered. Other than that, it is up to you where you take them.

If you are doing both the words and the art, great. If creating visual art is not your forte, then you may have to find someone to partner with on your project. If you need to find an artist, there are a few ways to go about it. One way is to take a look around online or at the local bookstore at graphic artists whose work you admire, or who you think might make a good fit. Unless they are fairly well-known, artists aren’t generally difficult to get a hold of, so search out some names and contact info and run your project past your choices to see what their rates and availability might be.

If you are discouraged by the rates you are quoted, consider running or posting an ad at a local art or design school. Often, art students need to do project to complete class requirements or at the very least may work a lot cheaper than their more established compadres. Have your pages printed in the highest quality manner that you can afford. If your artwork is in color, consider four color process digital printing for best results. As far as the binding of your book, one option you might want to consider is purchasing a thermal binding machine and doing it yourself. These machines are surprisingly inexpensive and very easy to use. With one of these machines, you can have a hardcover book ready to go in less than a minute. Depending on how many books you are going to self-publish, the savings can range from significant to substantial.
