Marketing Old Books

Because I have over 40 books published, I recently decided to see what would happen with those that are self-published if I wrote something about one or another and posted with a link on Facebook. I did the self-published, because I can see if anyone has purchased a book after I wrote about it.

I started with some of the older Deputy Tempe Crabtree mysteries. The first and the second, Deadly Trail and Deadly Omen.



I did a couple that had started out as Deputy Tempe Crabtree mysteries, but didn't quite seem like they fit the bill.  Deadly Feast was one of those. I got the idea from a huge flood that happened a long time ago where I'm living and a bridge was washed out, stranding people for several days.




 I did some others too. Every time I did this on Facebook, a few of the books were purchased. So it was worth the few minutes it took to do this.

I'm always willing to try something new, how about you?

What a good idea. And a good "nudge" for me. I have one self-published book that goes back 10 years. It was well-liked when it came out, but I've been busy with other books that got published through small presses, and I've neglected this one. I hate to see it languish, though. You've inspired me to put it up on FB.

Every little bit helps, Elizabeth!

I don't seem to have much luck with mentioning stuff on Facebook these days, although before they started blocking links and other posts relating to books, I did very well. Now they want to be paid for friends to even see the posts.

I haven't had that problem, Morgan.
