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

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.

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.

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

A) that are not actually books.

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

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

C) that are unreadably terrible in any other way.

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.
