How does a new KDP writer supposed to market a book?

A) Build a following on social media, a following of people who will buy your books. Good luck with that. There is very little evidence that social media can translate to sales.

Are you planning to proofread your book to avoid sentences such as

A) that are not actually books.

What is love?

D) that are presented with bad covers, bad descriptions, or ludicrously bad interior formatting.

Is the media protecting Kamala Harris?

You cannot effectively promote books
