Indie book publishing is pretty tough, especially when you don’t have an advertising budget.
Social media can help a bit, but again, that’s pretty hard without a budget.
You can set up a Patreon, with its own mailing list.
Or your site with your own mailing list.
Or even your own general mailing list: maybe with a giveaway, like a free ebook!
Then there’s video too.
ALL our Glossy News writers are allowed to promote your own books here, so feel free any time!
Right now, most of my ebooks from Amazon KDP are free on Amazon until Sunday 05 May.
All Amazon stores globally!
There are quite a number out there, and not all are of equal value. But I particularly recommend these two:
Every free download helps boost my SEO (search engine optimisation), ultimately making me more visible, and increasing the chance of more purchases and royalties, further down the line.
So let me know if you want me and Glossy News to help promote your work as well!
For the more ambitious satirists and creators, I also recommend Patreon.
Here’s an example of what can be done there:

As you are probably aware, Glossy News does NOT have any real ideological biases in favour of any particular ideology, so if you’re a satirist with us already, feel free to ask us about getting your work up here, in the form of ads, excerpts, serials, vlogs, podcasts or whatever! The views of each individual writer, and of course of the editor himself (that’s me!) are their own, and we have and will continue to have a wide range of views, poking fun at Republicans, Democrats, Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, Sinn Fein, DUP, SNP, Greens, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Atheism, China, Russia, America, UK, Israel, Palestine, Australia, France, Japan and more!
Let’s see what you can do with Amazon KDP, Patreon, Youtube and more!
Go-go-go!
Thanks for all the free downloads you’ve availed of! There is very little time left on this deal… Go-go-go! 😉
