The authors you see in the bookstores, on YouTube, and on social networking sites, however, realize that there are times when you are smart to bite the bullet and invest a few hundred dollars to begin promotions.

Thanks to some new and innovative author services out there, you can hire pros to shine you up and present you in a way you didn't know was possible -- saving you enormous amounts of time. The industry is starting to respond realistically to author needs. For under $200 you can now hire marketing pros to develop a single promo item for you (like a YouTube video) to get your sales going. Once you have say 40 books sold to pay from that promo, you can put some of those dollars into your next promo product (say, Search Engine Optimization). As you keep building this way, you won't starve to death and you'll actually be building your audience step by step. This slow and steady process allows you to get comfortable with your message and figure out your brand as you go.

You may be tired of searching author services agencies for individual marketing services that are in line with current trends in technology. The trick is finding affordable ala-carte services instead of pouring money into those bulk marketing packages that POD publishers and PR firms put together. If you haven't yet found the magic bullet and are still looking, consider saving up to buy promo products like book reviews, interviews and book trailers that you can continue to refer the public to for months and years to come.
