How does a new KDP writer supposed to market a book?

If your book is well presented, well written, and basically free of typos, then

You cannot effectively promote books

Or

Because you cannot persuade readers to buy any book in which sentences do not make sense. This shouldn't be “does.” If you don't see the problem, that is a big problem.

E) Take a solid year to learn how to use Amazon or Facebook ads and be prepared to lose quite a bit of money as you figure it out.

D) Pay promotion services like Written Word Media to promote your book. Legitimate services will not accept your book for promotion if the presentation is crappy or the book is badly written.

The Roman Empire at the time of Christ kept meticulous records. Why then, is there no record of the trial of Jesus?

C) that are unreadably terrible in any other way.

C) Persuade book reviewers on BookTok or Substack or someplace to recommend your book. If your book is unreadably terrible, this is probably impossible.

Are you planning to proofread your book to avoid sentences such as

Or

B) that are filled to the brim with typos or errors.

D) that are presented with bad covers, bad descriptions, or ludicrously bad interior formatting.

A) Build a following on social media, a following of people who will buy your books. Good luck with that. There is very little evidence that social media can translate to sales.

B) Build a newsletter mailing list of people who will buy your book because they trust you to write books they want to read. This is slow, but ideal.

A) that are not actually books.
