Let’s start the learning with the example of the headshot I posted above! Omg, my enormous head, huge smile and teeth…but still… a headshot is my first book promotion tip for you.
That tip? Invest in a professional headshot. Every author needs one. In this substack newsletter, I mention only a few must-do book promotion items but a professional headshot is one of them. Readers connect with authors and they want to see your cute face in a professional headshot.
See? You are getting book marketing tips already, and it's not too scary!

Who Am I To Be The One To Guide You On Your Way To Successful Author Status?
I’m three-time published author, columnist, podcast host and speaker. I have been writing and consulting on book promotion since 2008 and I love it. One of my more famous book marketing projects was editing and promoting the 2nd edition of the famous tome, Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron alongside my colleague, publisher Julie Murkette. Whoa, was that a fun project, especially when Kourtney Kardashian posted a picture of herself reading the book on Facebook… WAT? Talk about Book Promotion Heaven….
Julie and I decided to join forces after years of book marketing for clients with a book for you - for authors - titled Get Your Book Seen and Sold that you can get for a song on Amazon. (or get free with a funding member subscription) Yes, the title of the book is the same as the title of the Substack newsletter and podcast. (free book promotion trick #2)
