Hi everyone..

Well, I hope this is the right place to post this.. but here goes.. I wrote a book and self published it. Everyone who has read it has liked it.. and they are not 'family' and 'friends' only.. however, I am not able to afford the regular ways of marketing, or a PR firm, or to pay for reviews...

What I need is people to help promote my book! I need someone who knows how to market and promote.. and I am willing to pay, but I can only pay if a book is sold.

So, anyone have any ideas out there? I have thought, perhaps to offer 30% of every book sale... but am wondering how I could ever keep track if many people jumped up to sell my book and make 30% off each sale?

Maybe it's better to find only one or two people who can really push it to the limit and they can make 30% of all profits? I am even willing to do talks or workshops, and again, any bookings made by the booker would make 30% of whatever I took in.... however, I'm not in position to pay airfare, so any bookings would have to be paid for.. ? unless... with success in book sales I can afford the cost of travel.

If you are reading this and interested, PM me and I can talk more with you on how to make this work and be profitable for both (all) of us.... and I will give you a link to the book, don't want to 'advertise' here.. that's not what I'm doing, what I'm doing is trying to find help in getting my book 'out there' and profitable..

Thank you,
Lacey

Hi, Lacey! Welcome to Wahm.com! There are a lot of published writers on the "Wahms who Write" board. I suggest posting your question there, then you can get feedback from them, too.

Why not put the link to the book here? I wouldn't call it 'advertising', I would call it 'not having to read so many pm's from those of us who might be interested..' I love to read so please post the link here, if you're not allowed because it might be considered 'advertising' & I don't know if you can do that here then please pm... thanks
