Today there are thousands upon thousands of self-published authors. Most of them are invisible. Nobody knows about them or their books.
The sad truth is that writing a book is the easy part. Getting it out there, getting it seen, that's the hard part. But you've probably figured that out on your own already. You're a smart cookie.
So now you're trying to figure out how to promote your book and get the best bang for your buck. A lot of people waste their time posting links in Facebook groups.
Forget Facebook groups! There's a better way to promote your self-published book for free.
