Creativity

How to Do It

• Offer a free first chapter of books. Mine are here: Z-Virus Powers, Ways The Human Body Can Go Wrong, My Royal Navy Friend, The Alcohol Therapy Workbook, SpellCast – Folk Magic for the 21st Century and Mental Health Wisdom – Developing Understanding & Empathy.
• Giveaways / Competitions.
• Offering sales or very cheap copies. Don’t offer sales too often as they can have opposite effect of driving sales.
• For cheap copies I tend to do ebooks and offer them on Google Play Store.
• Donating to Libraries. Don’t just think of local libraries either. An ebook can be sent to Libraries via email. Think also of other places that have libraries such as colleges and universities.
• Donate to Book Cycles. I’ll admit I’ve only done this once, to my local book cycle and can’t said that it has had any impact on sales of my paid works. But it felt good to support a local voluntary organisation.
• Offer and do free or low-cost talks and presentations whenever you get the opportunity. Remember to take copies of your paid works, payment methods (both cash for change and card payment facilities) and promotional materials for anyone who wants to buy or is interested in your paid works. This could be to writing or reading groups, clubs or practically any other type of group relevant to your creative works that you can think of.
