2. Promote your book affordably
Promotion doesn’t have to be expensive. Social media offers the opportunity to reach a large audience at minimal cost. Facebook and Instagram even offer targeted advertisements, ensuring your book reaches the right people.
3. Showcase your author identity
Social media allows you to showcase your unique author identity. Share glimpses into your creative process, your workspace, or your inspirations. By regularly sharing valuable content, you establish yourself as a trustworthy author and attract more readers.
