Step 7 – Marketing

 

Self-publishers market their own books and e-books, and the following are some methods used very successfully by several of our authors at:

  • Tertiary institutions, schools and pre-primary schools where the need already exists.
  • Orphanages or similar institutions with large data bases.
  • Agreements with bookshops, Amazon and Kobo.
  • Marketing via email, Facebook and other communication channels where the target market has already been identified.
  • Seminars and workshops.
  • Author’s own website.

 

Groep 7 can assist and offer quotations on any of the following:

  • Make books available to (per agreement):
      • Groep 7 online bookshop;
      • E-book on Kobo;
      • Bookshops (conditions apply) – Groep 7 is a registered supplier of Exclusive Books, Bargain Books, Protea, PNA and other bookshops (their decision to order);
  • Authors’ profile on Groep 7 website;
  • Posters (printed and electronic format) e.g. for book launches.
  • Amazon.com – preparation of documents for author to self-publish.
