Black Friday and Author Life

Black Friday is an excellent opportunity for authors to support each other and promote their work. Here are some ways authors can support other authors during Black Friday:

*Create a Black Friday Promo Alliance: Connect with other authors in your micro-genre and ask if anyone is running a Black Friday sale. If they are, offer to feature a link to their book on Amazon in your Black Friday emails in exchange for them featuring a link to your book in their Black Friday emails.

*Create a Black Friday Book Bundle: Collaborate with other authors to create a bundle of books, which can help increase interest and sales for all participating authors. We've done this over at Book Hub Publishing.

*Share Black Friday Deals on Social Media: Share the Black Friday deals and promotions of other authors on your social media platforms, helping to increase visibility and reach for their promotions. Again, we've done this on both Book Hub Publishing and ShadowScript Ghostwriters.

*Guest Posting: Offer to write a guest post for other authors' blogs or websites, promoting their Black Friday deals and promotions for them promoting your work. There's nothing like offering someone something that doesn't require a financial investment!

*Join Online Communities: Take part in online communities, such as forums or social media groups, where you can share and discuss Black Friday deals and promotions with other authors. Quickly, you'll get to see which websites are genuine and which are not!

Ultimately, by supporting other authors during Black Friday, you can help build relationships, increase visibility, and potentially boost your own sales. We're all in this together...

Oh, and leave time for a coffee in all your planning. There's always time for a coffee...
