I have never sold books, but every book ive read i have bought
Personally i buy mostly from recommendations. It doesn't matter much what the topic is, if i think i can learn something from it i'll probably be interested.
I know some authors sit on quora and answer related questions. It could be effective, as its a last resort for many people, and they will be happy to get an answer at all. The challenge will be finding relevant questions. And they do show up a lot on google searches, so thats pretty cool.
If you feel like you can do consistent blog or vlog content, thats really good marketing. Even if its hard to measure. Minimum weekly to stay relevant. I follow a few youtubers that do business stuff!
If thats too much, a few guest posts on related blogs/channels could be valuable for you.
Most physical stores has a local owner that is willing to take in local authors with a favorable shelf space. Meet up in person?
Some of the most successful authors right now "give away" books, and rely on their personal brand to earn money elsewhere. (courses, subscriptions, etc)
Alternatively you can give away a small course for free, and let people pay for the book if they want the details. Dont be a webinar dick though. Give actual value, and show how its done!
