Whether an author publishes traditionally or indie, they need to help market their book. There are many ways to do this, and like any good manager, an author should outsource some of the work. One of my favorite places to locate new talent and resources is fiverr.com. I have found social media promoters, and some even prefer to write the copy. Fiverr artists have helped me with logo designs, banners, mock ups of my books, videos, and more. They are an affordable resource.

Authors should utilize resources such as giveaways too. For authors who worry about the investment, research and locate the most reliable sources. You invested precious time in producing your book. Being tightfisted benefits few people. Generosity has amazing payback. Give copies of your book away and the public will respond to that love.

Authors, promote your book with no regrets! Don't let yourselves say later, "I could have done more."

One of the top things to remember is that a book cannot sell if no one knows it exists. Giveaways and ads and promotions help the public to learn about your beautiful endeavor.

I'm planning giveaways for self-help and science fiction fantasy books soon, so keep watching. ; )

My books:

Goldenheart: How to Love Humanity

Birth Right: Galak's Rising

Note that Galak's Rising is in pre-cover phase. The book has a cover, lol. It is on pre-order and I'm not sure why my own cover upload on Goodreads didn't take. I'm guessing because it is listed with Amazon for pre-sale, that cover link must come through later. If you follow the link, you can see the cover.
