Direct Mail Marketing Campaigns

How to generate interest in my new thriller / horror book with a tight budget?

So I published my first book and added title to Amazon Books (Frightful Family Tales by Donna Leach) only to discover that it is just below 200,000 in the list! I have a blog and website and notices sent to friends and family. What now? How to generate interest in the title. Should I go to a campaign e-mail list and if so, where I can find one with people interested in my style book? Not exactly my masterpiece, however, is unusual stories creepy character and I am using book to teach me the ropes of the POD and marketing world, as I finish my novel. Any suggestions? I'm on a tight budget.

Self-published books do poorly on eBay, Amazon, Web page editor and the author's own website. Marketing to pay for publishing the book is damn difficult. Many of the traditionally published authors means are not available. no chain bookstores will host signings or keep copies (despite ordering them to customers). Newspapers, magazines, television and radio do not want your press releases and do interviews. The library system will not accept copies free. Desktops or related conventions the book does not allow for a autograph or a sales table, do not want the author of his panels, and forbid gifts promotional material. author blog, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other self-promotion efforts appear to have little effect electronics in terms of increased sales. About the only marketing I have seen no effect of fiction published-auto sales is the active participation in forums and chats dealing with the subject of his book. Find your niche and determine where to go online the time. Some sites may allow you to talk about his book * if someone asks you about it * (but a ban on bringing you more than once.) Some may allow a link to a retail outlet in your profile or in your blog or website, which in turn links to a retail outlet. You sell a few copies more than you might have, but in general, like most books self-published, regardless of quality, total sales is likely to remain well below 100 copies. More often, the number hovers somewhere around 2 / 3 to 3 / 4 of its total number of friends and family. This compares very unfavorably with the thousands of copies of a moderately-selling book publisher conventional can anticipate. I'm sorry I can not offer more realistic hope for promotion, but I preferred to hear the truth that is sugar-coated that could make you waste your time or money. If you want sales or fame, or both, POD does not get you there.
