  2. Another marketing strategy I am trying (and I am brand new to all of this) is entering my self published book in several different book award contests such as the International Book Awards, the San Francisco Book Festival and the MWSA Book Review/Awards. The entry fee is relatively cheap ($40-$79) and even if my book wins only an honorable mention, it’s still great publicity.
