Yes, you do have to market your books after publishing it on Amazon. I know this might sound like a "duh" answer, but there are some people who don't realize that you have to market your book after publishing it on Amazon. This is because if you don't market your book, then no one will be able to find it!

So what does this mean? Well, first of all, I'll explain what marketing means in general terms. Marketing is basically anything that will help people find out about your book and ultimately purchase it. It could be advertising on social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter; it could be writing an article about the book for an online magazine; or even creating a video review of your book (if there's an option for reviewers).

Now let's talk about how exactly to market your book after publishing it on Amazon. Once again, this may seem obvious at first glance—but here are some tips:

1. Create a catchy title for your book

2. Write short blurbs about each chapter

3. use marketing platforms or ads.

Just because you have published a book, any kind of book, ebook, paperback, or audiobook, does not mean you will start making money. Amazon doe snot pay the writers for publishing books. Amazon pays only when there will be sales. In order for sales to happen, your books should reach the people who are genuinely interested in buying your books. Hundreds of thousands of books are published every day on Amazon, your book will be buried under the published titles unless you do marketing. There are numerous ways to market your book, you can do free marketing, as well as paid marketing. You can offer your books for free for a couple of days in order to get some sales so that you can get good reviews, alternatively, you can also promote them on social media for free. You can also use Amazon's advertising feature. You can run ads for your books on Amazon.
