Introduction
There are two main ways of marketing your books. They are “passive marketing” and “active marketing”. Basically, all marketing efforts fall into one of these two categories:

1. Passive marketing generally includes all the seemingly small, static, less expensive, or no-cost, and subtle ways that we get the attention of readers. This involves marketing efforts that reach people whether they realize it or not. A blog with lots of free and informative information is a good example of passive marketing. Appearing on a television show as an expert is also a good example.

2. Active marketing generally includes all the larger, splashier, and more expensive ways that we get the attention of readers. This involves marketing efforts that are much more obvious, and people know right away that they're being marketed to. Paid advertisements in print and online are a good example of active marketing. Email marketing is also a good example.

Here is a quick discussion of some very powerful no-cost passive marketing ideas that will help you achieve never-ending books sales:

Tip # 1. Updating Your Online Content
Any online documents that you sell or offer for free must be kept up-to-date and free of errors. Also, make sure that your bio information and book information inside these documents is kept up to date.

Tip # 2. Updating And Adding To Your Blog
You can never stop adding relevant content to your blog. Keeping your blog updated with new information will help your blog move up in the search engine rankings. Also make sure that you keep re-reading your older blog content, always looking to improve or fix them. Always fix or eliminate dead links. Dead links might hurt your Google ranking and search results, and they make you look lazy.

Tip # 3. Email Signature
An email signature should be inserted at the end of every email that you send out. In it you can include a short bio about yourself. You can also include links to your blog, your book’s website, your LinkedIn profile, and your Amazon profile, etc. You can also include your photo, and a picture of your books, etc.

Tip # 4. Account/Profile Settings
At any website that lets you include a personal profile, make sure that you mention your blog and your book. Offer a free download or sample chapter as an inducement to get the reader to check out your blog and book.

Tip # 5. Update/Improve/Change Book Cover
A new and updated cover can very quickly give your book a new life. If you're creative and have a good eye, you can do this by yourself for free. But, if you have a few hundred bucks, you should hire someone to do it for you.

Tip # 6. Re-Edit Book Content
You must never stop improving the content of your book. Keep searching for grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes, and factual mistakes. Mistakes of any kind can hurt your reputation, your brand, and your credibility, in the eyes of your readers.

Tip # 7. Get More/Better Book Blurbs And Quotes
Get as many blurbs and quotes that you can get. Never stop asking for them from your readers and other industry insiders. Make sure that you display the best ones on your blog and inside your book.



Tip # 8. Get More Book Reviews
Generally, you should not pay for book reviews. (Although, there are a few very legitimate review services that might be worth the money.) But, with some effort, you should be able to get your readers, and industry insiders, to review your book for free.

Tip # 9.
