As an author I spent years looking for free marketing techniques which would help me to sell my books. As a struggling beginning author, I had no idea at first how to even get started. Almost 2 years afte According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product r the publication of my first book I can say with confidence I have found six techniques which have garnered me book sales, and will work for you too. I'll even let you in on a technique that I found garn ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in ered me no sales at all! 1. Offer a monthly newsletter that has useful content besides just information about your books. I have found that having a newsletter that offers something to both potential rea lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. ders, and either aspiring or already published authors has increased my newsletter membership and sold more of my books. 2. Offer free reads. There is one thing that as both a reader and an author will m here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe ake me stand up and pay attention; offer me something useful for free. People love getting something for free! My only piece of advice regarding this is just make certain that what you are offering is hig d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro h quality. If you offer a story you wrote 10 years ago that does not reflect your current polished writing style, this is not going to get you book sales for your current books. Either write something new ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc , or do polish up something you have already written, so it reflects your current style. 3. Have at least one of your free reads available through your publisher. Some publishers give writers the option easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi of offering stories for free. Potential fans and readers do scan book catalogs for free reads, and sometimes publishers will advertise the free reads as well. If someone reads the free read you made avail nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically able through your publisher, and they liked it, they are going to be much more likely to come back and purchase the books you have for sale. 4. As further incentive for someone to sign up for your free m and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ onthly newsletter, offer at least one free read (Or do like I did and offer two or three!), either a serial where you post a chapter a month (I've found this to be very helpful when it came to making sale ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi s!), or a novella.

Write articles similar to th dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod is one on different aspects of being a writer, and the publication industry. Once you have done so, publish them in a few free high profile article directories such as E-zine Articles.com (my favorite), o cts are meaningful and rational?

Strangely, the one technique which did not garner me many book sales that I am aware of, and which many beginning authors try is sending bookmarks with information about their books to y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products book conferences. I've even heard some horror stories about authors who had friends that were at the conference talking about how they saw the other person's bookmarks laying on the floor, or in the trash . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de . If you can afford to have pens, or calendars or other more original/different items that are more likely to be picked up and taken home made, then by all means do so and send these items.
