I saved one of the best finds for last. CANVA
If you have never heard of Canva I recommend that you familiarize yourself with this site. With a little creativity there are many useful products an author can use to promote their brand. Below I created four bookmarks using Canva's template. The first two-"Keep Reading Between The Lines & there are worlds between words" were from the Canva library and were free. All I did was insert my name and website. The other two bookmarks are from my books "THE MOUSE THAT BECAME THE CAT AND LAYERS OF DECEIT." I used a blank template and downloaded my images in less then 2 minutes for both. I called the printer and after converting each image from a jpeg to a pdf I printed 250 of each at the printers. (8 each-2x5's on a 8 1/2 x 11 card stock) Cost $80- 8 cents each. Here is the salesman in me. I post them on any message board in markets or libraries and when I'm at place like Starbuck's and see someone reading an actual book I introduce myself, tell them I'm a writer, and give them all four bookmarks. Chutzpah, sure, but one grows an audience I reader at a time. By the way it also takes a lot of guts to sit down and write a novel. Hope this helps and thanks for reading. #canva,#IndieReader,#Kirkus,#TheIndieReview,#TheBookbloggerslist,#Author'satlas,#bookmarketing,#Howtowriteanovel,#howtowriteabook,#learntowrite |
