Are you planning to proofread your book to avoid sentences such as
Sci-fi action-RPG Hell is Us gets PC demo out today on Steam - Eurogamer
B) Build a newsletter mailing list of people who will buy your book because they trust you to write books they want to read. This is slow, but ideal.
C) that are unreadably terrible in any other way.
E) Take a solid year to learn how to use Amazon or Facebook ads and be prepared to lose quite a bit of money as you figure it out.
Mets and Dodgers are more than living up to heavyweight billing - New York Post
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.
If your book is well presented, well written, and basically free of typos, then
D) Pay promotion services like Written Word Media to promote your book. Legitimate services will not accept your book for promotion if the presentation is crappy or the book is badly written.

Because you cannot persuade readers to buy any book in which sentences do not make sense. This shouldn't be “does.” If you don't see the problem, that is a big problem.
Or
B) that are filled to the brim with typos or errors.
What led Megan to marry into the Royal Family despite her successful acting career in Hollywood?
C) Persuade book reviewers on BookTok or Substack or someplace to recommend your book. If your book is unreadably terrible, this is probably impossible.
