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

Or

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

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.

Patti LuPone stuns Broadway as The Apologizer - AV Club

C) Persuade book reviewers on BookTok or Substack or someplace to recommend your book. If your book is unreadably terrible, this is probably impossible.

You cannot effectively promote books

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.

A new perk for Costco executive members quietly punishes everyone else - SFGATE

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.

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

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.

Buried for 16 Million Years, Scientists Unearth a Prehistoric Spider So Big, It Might Have Stalked Dinosaurs - Indian Defence Review

C) that are unreadably terrible in any other way.

If your book is well presented, well written, and basically free of typos, then

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.

Why do Trump supporters believe Trump should deport the immigrants? These people you call "illegal immigrants" have lived here for many years, they have houses, jobs, how can you think they will just go back to their country, where they have nothing?

What was the most challenging shift you experienced as an ER physician? Can you describe the details and reasons behind it?

B) that are filled to the brim with typos or errors.
