There are still SIX weeks left in 2021!
That’s plenty of time to set up your book marketing for 2022.
That’s plenty of time to set up your book marketing for 2022.
It is very easy to get caught up with the “busy-ness” of the holiday season and forget that there is still a lot of time left this year to get your book marketing tasks and activities completed. Concentrating on marketing NOW will set you up nicely for the new year.
As an independent writer, YOU are responsible for marketing yourself as an author and for marketing your book(s). Even if you have a contract with a traditional publishing house, the bulk of marketing tasks are up to YOU.
Two Things To Remember:
Writing Your Book is Only the First Step.
”If you build it they will come” is NOT a marketing plan.
Since 2008, I have worked with fiction and nonfiction writers to publish over 300 eBooks and print books. Publishing your book is one thing. Marketing your book so that people know about it and will invest in it is quite another thing.
Because so many authors neglect the necessary and essential marketing tasks for their books, nearly a third make less than $500 a year and 90% of self-published books sell less than 100 copies. You CAN beat those numbers!
Most writers are NOT marketers, and many authors get completely lost trying to navigate the marketing landscape. Writers need a PLAN to market their book successfully and continuously, and after paying hundreds and thousands of dollars just to get their book edited, formatted, and published, there may not be a lot of money left to pay a professional book marketer.
You CAN learn how to do a lot of the book marketing yourself. It will take a lot of hard work, but it can be done. You just need a plan and a system. And then you just need to DO IT.
People Have Challenges. Entrepreneurs Provide Solutions.
Through my Branding and Marketing Academy, I have developed a 6-week Author and Book Marketing Program targeted exactly towards independent writers like you. You have the option of taking only the course(s) that interest you, or you can complete the entire program before the end of this year.
Unlike many online courses, you won’t be left alone when you purchase the program. I will be working with you, bringing my years of experience and expertise to the table to help you.
The first course in the program, “Planning for Your Book Marketing,” opens THIS Wednesday, November 24, 2021. Yes, that is the day before Thanksgiving in the U.S., but time waits for no author! December 31 will be here before you know it!
I invite you to take your book marketing into your own hands and check out the program here. I look forward to working with you these last six weeks of 2021.
Here is more information in a marketing graphic. Get the full details and enroll in one or more of the courses here.
