Bonus: Thank you goes a long way.

Now if you have a few books under your belt and you are still sliding into DMs sharing your book and not getting any responses you might want to rethink your promotion strategies. Most readers hate DM promotion.
5/5

9. If your promotion consists of daily buy my book don’t expect much engagement from readers.

10. Engagement always starts with you. Have a conversation with your readers before you ask them to buy something.
4/5

5. Don’t leave a comment to buy your book unless they asked you to.

6. Get permission to tag a reader before you tag them.

7. Don’t highjack a reader’s page by using tags.

8. Engagement is about having conversations with readers not rants, name calling or being rude.
3/5

2. Don’t hound the reader for a review. You can send a friendly reminder but a daily message is annoying.

3. If you never sent a DM to a reader, a buy my book isn’t the right way to start the engagement.

4. Don’t post on a reader’s page to buy your book unless they give you permission.

I’m definitely focusing on my writing because I’ve put it off for so many years. Planning my promotion for 2026 and praying 2026 it’s way better than this year.

Thank you to all who encouraged me through these 43 days. I truly appreciate it.

As my mama use to say - Just keep on living.

Take 15 minutes and promote your book on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Take another 15 minutes and schedule your promotion, that way when you are busy, you’re still promoting.
