It seems that when people can not do well in business today due to the economy and all, that they are reverting to writing book’s on their business knowledge for those who may be opening a business or are currently struggling to keep their business open.
The problem is that at amazon.com alone there are almost 2 million book’s listed on business alone. This greatly decreases the odds of your book being viewed or chosen. So below we’ve put together a little list of ways to promote your book and get it seen by the public.
These books and their authors are your competition. Yes, some of those almost two million books have one and the same author but that doesn’t change your odds all that much.
Create a blog book tour, create a book video trailer, get creative with the way you do your press release, get local sponsors to buy your book, get connected with the local tv and radio stations for advertising, find someone to offer a testimonial, use twitter, make sure your remarkable, get on amazon and make sure you use as much social media as possible.
What are your ideas on marketing your business book today?

I’m a fan of using the free online press release sites to promote books. You can use them in many different ways surrounding your book: announcing its publication, a book signing, a speaking engagement associated with the book, etc.

You have a good point about the sheer number of books out there. (I’m going to take a look at the online press release sites — I don’t have a book to sell, at the moment anyway, but that site sounds very useful.)
I said, at the moment, because I’m revving up to start a book. I’ve been inspired by this great book, Doing Business By the Book by Sophfronia Scott. I’m looking to add credibility to my business and feel this will help a great deal in doing not only that but ultimately increasing my business and getting me more speaking engagements. This book is a great step-by-step blueprint to where I want to go. (One of the sections is “Book Building Circle,” also step by step, to help create a very effective non-fiction book.) This is a great resource.
