How to Write a Promotional Blog for an Ebook

So you have just finished writing and publishing your ebook. Congrats! Your book is now available. But what will you do now? Will you simply sit back and enjoy your newfound success? Or will you keep pushing? Of course you will keep pushing! There are so many potential readers out there that might have never even heard of your book. But you know what? Even if they did hear of you and your book, they might not be ready to listen. That is why you keep pushing. You want your book to be out there and for as many people as possible to read it. That is your ultimate goal, isn’t it?

Well, first off, I want to congratulate you on your book. Your ebook might not have been easy to write, and it certainly wasn’t easy to publish. But now that it is done, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your success. Except maybe not entirely. I mean, it is always great to be able to sit back and relax, but you need to keep doing whatever it is that made you successful in the first place. In your case, that means writing and publishing more ebooks. Are you still wondering why you should write a promotional blog for an Ebook? Keep reading.

Why Should I Promote My Ebook?

If you asked 100 people what is the first thing that comes to mind when they think of ebooks, 99 of them would say “social media”. That makes sense, right? After all, chances are, you wrote the book to appease an audience on social media. Maybe you even used social media to find like-minded readers who might enjoy your book as much as you do. And now that your book is finished, it is time to move on to the next phase of your growth. What is that phase? Well, it could be a number of things. Do you have an email list? Do you participate in any social media platforms? Do you have a website or blog? If so, what is it?

These are all great questions, and they will help you find the answer you are looking for. But, for now, let’s focus on the purpose of your book. Why did you write the book? What problem did you solve? Why should someone else take interest in your book?

If you wrote the book to solve a problem, it might be a good idea to try and solve that problem with some of the strategies and ideas you explored in your book. For example, if you are a travel blogger with a large audience, you could try and monetize your blog by taking paid vacations with your readers. You could set up a deal where you could give some of your readers a free vacation if they spend a certain amount of money on your products (e.g., your ebooks, tools, resources etc.). You get the idea. Solving problems is a lot of work, and you should be compensated for it. That is why you should write a promotional blog for your ebook.

What Should My Blog Post About?

If you are just throwing up a blog post to promote your ebook, it might be a good idea to build on a few chosen themes. For example, maybe you want to write about leadership. Everyone can relate to leadership, right? Even those who didn’t necessarily want to follow a boss or a leader can relate to the process of people following you (e.g., your leadership traits, behaviors, etc.).

Another great topic for a blog post would be “Why should someone else care about my book?” That is a great question, and it can be applied to any type of business or product. People need to care about your book because it presents an opportunity to solve a problem. That is the only reason someone should care about your book. So when you are picking a topic for your blog post, make sure that you are writing about something that will help your potential readers connect with your book.

What Should I Include In My Blog Post?

As a newbie author, this might be a tough one. You are still figuring out what makes for a good blog post. You don’t want to copy someone else’s post, because you never know what could be wrong. That is why you should include specific advice or tips for your book. For example, if you are writing about becoming a successful entrepreneur, you might want to include tips on how to write a compelling business plan or a guide to funding your business. That way, you can tailor your blog post to fit a specific niche.

Also, while you are writing your blog post, try and develop some keyword phrases or key words that you can use to attract the right audience. For example, if you want to write a blog post on “the advantages of being a digital nomad”, you might want to include some of the following keywords:

  • digital nomad
  • travel blogger
  • nomad life
  • advantages of being a digital nomad

Once you have your blog post written and published, it is time to check back and see if you attracted any new readers. If you did, fantastic! If you didn’t, it is time to try something new.

To help you figure out the best way to promote your ebook, we have collected a number of tips and strategies that we think will help. Remember: with any new initiative (e.g., writing a blog post for an ebook), you are trying to find the sweet spot between too much advertising and not enough advertising. That is tricky, but with time, you will learn how to find that spot. And when you do, your efforts will be rewarded with more sales.

So, if you want to be the next big name in self-help, start by taking note of these tips and start promoting your ebook. You will not regret it.
