Promoting Your Self Published Children’s Book

Promoting Your Self Published Children’s Book

Congratulations!  You just self-published your children’s book!  Now how do you go and get it out in public?  Promoting your book takes a lot of time and patience.  Success won’t happen overnight, no matter how much you hope for it.  Below are some ideas that I have done or plan on doing to help me advertise my children’s books.

1.)            Create a website.  Show off your book!  Create a pdf file of a preview of your book!  Most customers will want a preview before they buy, so give them that!  Make sure you create a link where they can purchase your book.

2.)            Create a blog and connect with other writers.

3.)            Create a facebook fan page and a twitter.  Suggest your facebook fan page to all your friends.  You can also advertise on facebook, but only if you have the funds to do so.  Follow people on twitter that has the same interests as you.

4.)            Get reviews.  Ask other self-published children’s book authors to review your book in exchange of reviewing theirs.  Post these reviews on your website/blog.

5.)            Business cards!  Go to vistaprint.com.  You can use their templates or upload your own.  Hand out business cards whenever you can.  If you have children, take your kids to the park and hand them out to parents.

]]>

6.)            If your children’s book is a series, offer the first one in the series on eBay.  When I did this, I got the most views and bids when I started at .01 and free shipping.  You will probably lose money, but your book will be going to someone who has never seen it.  Offer them a discount on the rest of your books if they love the first one!  Leave your business card in the book too!

7.)            Write letters to daycares and libraries describing your book and why it would be beneficial for them to have your book!  Offer them a special discount if you can.

8.)            Bumper stickers or a car magnet for your car!  Design it however you want and make sure to leave your website on it!

9.)            Hang up tear off tab fliers on bulletin boards.  Many grocery stores have them as well as libraries.  Try the pizzeria’s also!  You may have to ask before you hang it up.  Make sure you check on them at least once a week. (*Tear off a tab.  This will make it look like people are curious about your flier.  I have done this and it works!*)

10.)      1800banners.com. They offer really cheap affordable advertising!  They are a banner exchange program, but you may also buy banner impressions or website clicks.  Websites place a code on their website, and whenever someone views their website, they get a banner view on someone else’s.  So when you buy the clicks, you are paying for when people click on these banners.  So these are real people clicking on your banner because it catches their eye.  Try a cheap campaign and see how it works for you.

 

Now, these are just some ideas.  Follow my blog for my children’s book series, Andy the Spider.  You will see what I am doing with my self-published book on a weekly basis.  There will be more ideas on promoting your book that I have not listed here.  Also, if you review my book, I will review yours in exchange.  Let’s help each other!

The magnificent final book in J. K. Rowling’s seven-part saga comes to readers July 21, 2007.

You’ll find out July 21!

Readers beware. The brilliant, breathtaking conclusion to J.K. Rowling’s spellbinding series is not for the faint of heart–such revelations, battles, and betrayals await in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that no fan will make it to the end unscathed. Luckily, Rowling has prepped loyal readers for the end of her series by doling out increasingly dark and dangerous tales of magic and mystery, shot through with lessons about honor and contempt, love and loss, and right and wrong. Fear not, you will find no spoilers in our review–to tell the plot would ruin the journey, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is an odyssey the likes of which Rowling’s fans have not yet seen, and are not likely to forget. But we would be remiss if we did not offer one small suggestion before you embark on your final adventure with Harry–bring plenty of tissues.

The heart of Book 7 is a hero’s mission–not just in Harry’s quest for the Horcruxes, but in his journey from boy to man–and Harry faces more danger than that found in all six books combined, from the direct threat of the Death Eaters and you-know-who, to the subtle perils of losing faith in himself. Attentive readers would do well to remember Dumbledore’s warning about making the choice between “what is right and what is easy,” and know that Rowling applies the same difficult principle to the conclusion of her series. While fans will find the answers to hotly speculated questions about Dumbledore, Snape, and you-know-who, it is a testament to Rowling’s skill as a storyteller that even the most astute and careful reader will be taken by surprise.

A spectacular finish to a phenomenal series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a bittersweet read for fans. The journey is hard, filled with events both tragic and triumphant, the battlefield littered with the bodies of the dearest and despised, but the final chapter is as brilliant and blinding as a phoenix’s flame, and fans and skeptics alike will emerge from the confines of the story with full but heavy hearts, giddy and grateful for the experience. –Daphne Durham

Why We Love Harry
Favorite Moments from the Series
There are plenty of reasons to love Rowling’s wildly popular series–no doubt you have several dozen of your own. Our list features favorite moments, characters, and artifacts from the first five books. Keep in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive (what we love about Harry could fill ten books!) and does not include any of the spectacular revelatory moments that would spoil the books for those (few) who have not read them. Enjoy.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

d0ac2a30bed148a1e20ea78acde5f5f3 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) * Harry’s first trip to the zoo with the Dursleys, when a boa constrictor winks at him.
* When the Dursleys’ house is suddenly besieged by letters for Harry from Hogwarts. Readers learn how much the Dursleys have been keeping from Harry. Rowling does a wonderful job in displaying the lengths to which Uncle Vernon will go to deny that magic exists.
* Harry’s first visit to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. Full of curiosities and rich with magic and marvel, Harry’s first trip includes a trip to Gringotts and Ollivanders, where Harry gets his wand (holly and phoenix feather) and discovers yet another connection to He-Who-Must-No-Be-Named. This moment is the reader’s first full introduction to Rowling’s world of witchcraft and wizards.
* Harry’s experience with the Sorting Hat.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

790e410ceb93fafabcfaa40b4743fee3 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) * The de-gnoming of the Weasleys’ garden. Harry discovers that even wizards have chores–gnomes must be grabbed (ignoring angry protests “Gerroff me! Gerroff me!”), swung about (to make them too dizzy to come back), and tossed out of the garden–this delightful scene highlights Rowling’s clever and witty genius.
* Harry’s first experience with a Howler, sent to Ron by his mother.
* The Dueling Club battle between Harry and Malfoy. Gilderoy Lockhart starts the Dueling Club to help students practice spells on each other, but he is not prepared for the intensity of the animosity between Harry and Draco. Since they are still young, their minibattle is innocent enough, including tickling and dancing charms.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

b6d0357019737c82860fd065e7ecd3f7 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) * Ron’s attempt to use a telephone to call Harry at the Dursleys’.
* Harry’s first encounter with a Dementor on the train (and just about any other encounter with Dementors). Harry’s brush with the Dementors is terrifying and prepares Potter fans for a darker, scarier book.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s behavior in Professor Trelawney’s Divination class. Some of the best moments in Rowling’s books occur when she reminds us that the wizards-in-training at Hogwarts are, after all, just children. Clearly, even at a school of witchcraft and wizardry, classes can be boring and seem pointless to children.
* The Boggart lesson in Professor Lupin’s classroom.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s knock-down confrontation with Snape.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

07f581b81a237c637752b1aa430f0bc6 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) * Hermione’s disgust at the reception for the veela (Bulgarian National Team Mascots) at the Quidditch World Cup. Rowling’s fourth book addresses issues about growing up–the dynamic between the boys and girls at Hogwarts starts to change. Nowhere is this more plain than the hilarious scene in which magical cheerleaders nearly convince Harry and Ron to jump from the stands to impress them.
* Viktor Krum’s crush on Hermione–and Ron’s objection to it.
* Malfoy’s “Potter Stinks” badge.
* Hermione’s creation of S.P.E.W., the intolerant bigotry of the Death Eaters, and the danger of the Triwizard Tournament. Add in the changing dynamics between girls and boys at Hogwarts, and suddenly Rowling’s fourth book has a weight and seriousness not as present in early books in the series. Candy and tickle spells are left behind as the students tackle darker, more serious issues and take on larger responsibilities, including the knowledge of illegal curses.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

ab089e6fc28ee38edca3d8c6abc3933c Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) * Harry’s outburst to his friends at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. A combination of frustration over being kept in the dark and fear that he will be expelled fuels much of Harry’s anger, and it all comes out at once, directly aimed at Ron and Hermione. Rowling perfectly portrays Harry’s frustration at being too old to shirk responsibility, but too young to be accepted as part of the fight that he knows is coming.
* Harry’s detention with Professor Umbridge. Rowling shows her darker side, leading readers to believe that Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven for young wizards. Dolores represents a bureaucratic tyrant capable of real evil, and Harry is forced to endure their private battle of wills alone.
* Harry and Cho’s painfully awkward interactions. Rowling clearly remembers what it was like to be a teenager.
* Harry’s Occlumency lessons with Snape.
* Dumbledore’s confession to Harry.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

2ace64cda2abcac1502f3283c1f39153 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) * The introduction of the Horcrux.
* Molly Weasley asking Arthur Weasley about his “dearest ambition.” Rowling has always been great at revealing little intriguing bits about her characters at a time, and Arthur’s answer “to find out how airplanes stay up” reminds us about his obsession with Muggles.
* Harry’s private lessons with Dumbledore, and more time spent with the fascinating and dangerous pensieve, arguably one of Rowling’s most ingenious inventions.
* Fred and George Weasley’s Joke Shop, and the slogan: “Why Are You Worrying About You-Know-Who? You Should Be Worrying About U-NO-POO–the Constipation Sensation That’s Gripping the Nation!”
* Luna’s Quidditch commentary. Rowling created scores of Luna Lovegood fans with hilarious and bizarre commentary from the most unlikely Quidditch commentator.
* The effects of Felix Felicis.

9c3626d20d7183724e5f199cadd12c2a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) “When I illustrate a cover or a book, I draw upon what the author tells me; that’s how I see my responsibility as an illustrator. J.K. Rowling is very descriptive in her writing–she gives an illustrator a lot to work with. Each story is packed full of rich visual descriptions of the atmosphere, the mood, the setting, and all the different creatures and people. She makes it easy for me. The images just develop as I sketch and retrace until it feels right and matches her vision.” Check out more Harry Potter art from illustrator Mary GrandPré.

Here is a very special edition of the book that started it all: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Shortly after publication, J.K. Rowling’s debut became a runaway bestselling award winner, and each new title in the sequence has all but created riots in the streets, as delirious fans chomp at the bit for the latest escapades of Harry Potter and his cohorts. For the true devotee of the series, this collector’s edition is a must. Gold foil stamping on an embossed leather cover marks the book as a bona fide treasure. Most exciting of all is a previously unpublished sketch of Harry by Rowling herself! Don’t miss this opportunity to collect a beautiful version of a modern classic. (Ages 9 and older) –Emilie CoulterSay you’ve spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand, and jellybeans that come in every flavor, including strawberry, curry, grass, and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling’s enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. In the nonmagic human world–the world of “Muggles”–Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities, and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he’s quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoiled, piglike cousin Dudley.

A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence: “We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.” Of course, Uncle Vernon yells most unpleasantly, “I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!” Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig… and that’s where the real adventure–humorous, haunting, and suspenseful–begins. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, first published in England as Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, continues to win major awards in England. So far it has won the National Book Award, the Smarties Prize, the Children’s Book Award, and is short-listed for the Carnegie Medal, the U.K. version of the Newbery Medal. This magical, gripping, brilliant book–a future classic to be sure–will leave kids clamoring for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That’s because he’s being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he’s really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.The amazing popularity of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone means that now even Muggles know about the Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Whether or not you’ve read about Harry, this unabridged audiobook brings his world to life. Reader Jim Dale brings an excellent range of voices to the characters, from well-meaning Hermione’s soft, earnest voice to Malfoy’s nasal droning; from Professor McGonagall’s crisp brogue to Hagrid’s broad Somerset accent; and from snarling Mr. Filch to p-p-poor, st-tuttering P-Professor Quirrel. Some of the characterizations are peculiar–why do the centaurs have Welsh accents?–but that’s a small price to pay to hear one of the myriad ways to sing the Hogwarts School song. Harry Potter fans of all ages–Muggle or not–will enjoy curling up with a few chocolate frogs, a box of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans (“Alas! Ear wax!”), and this marvelous, magical audiobook.

Ten Apples Up on Top (Dr Seuss Green Back Book)

d3652afd721fe15c0be43a3ccbffa98f Ten Apples Up on Top (Dr Seuss Green Back Book)

Learning to count has never been more fun than in this crazy tale of a dog, a lion and a tiger all showing off how many apples they can balance on their heads as they skip, walk the tightrope and roller skate their way through the book. This delightful book forms part of the second stage in HarperCollins’ major Dr. Seuss rebrand programme. With the relaunch of 10 more titles in August 2003, such all-time favourites as How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? and Dr. Seuss’ Sleep Book boast bright new covers that incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. Ten Apples Up On Top belongs to the Green Back Book range.Since 1961, Ten Apples up on Top has been helping preschoolers learn to count and read simultaneously. Simple illustrations and even simpler rhymes make this apple-balancing competition between a dog, a tiger, and a lion a fun, easy place to practice sight words and phonics. Siblings can even take turns reading phrases like “Seven apples up on top. I am so good they will not drop.” The inevitable tumbling crash is a great climax for busy toddlers to enjoy, and parents will appreciate the cooperative lesson the last page offers.
