Im late to the party, but congrats dude. I published a book back in 2013 but it didnt sell at all lol. But youre inspiring me to try again. Im happy to see you have success. I also bought a Kindle copy!

How did you go about marketing/hyping your book up? That seemed to be my stumping point the first time.

Thanks so much for the support man! I'll be happy to give any marketing advice I have, although not all of it will be applicable.

Posting my story as a chapter-by-chapter serial is what led me build up the fanbase I needed to help with marketing. The #1 biggest success factor, more than any paid or grassroots advertising I did, was to ask my fans to give support the book on Amazon and give it early algorithm success. This only mattered so much because I'd gotten a fairly large following by that point, though.

Other than my fanbase, I advertised on several different sites, subreddits, twitter, imgur...I actually made a quick marketing guide a while back, I'll fish it out and post it here tomorrow for anyone who's interested.

P.S. If you self-publish, put it on Kindle Unlimited.
