Those who have already signed up for our individual, customized Book Marketing Online Seminar and Publishing Consulting will get a nice (and free) extra surprise soon. Two great new features have been added to the marketing mix, which will improve their and (maybe soon your?) author platform. Everyone who joins our very affordable – 3 months for $98 = $1/day – marketing support will now get:

  • Three hours of one-on-one Book Marketing Online Seminar phone-consultations
  • Unlimited book marketing consultations by email for up to three months
  • Unlimited social media help by email for up to three months
  • Instructions / Checklist / Hundreds of links for you to use for your free book promotions

    .
    .As you can see our Book Marketing Help is customized for you, the author and we will individually work with you. It all starts with a purchase of your book and then an evaluation of your book’s sales page and your marketing activities so far. We will explain you the benefits of various steps in building the platform for you as an author and how you can establish a brand without incurring extra cost, such as expensive ads or how to avoid costly POD’s.
    .
    Our Book Marketing is personalized to your needs and we do NOT sell any videos, pre-recorded Webinars or DVD’s!  We really work one-on-one with you!!! In some cases we worked up to 20 hours at this customized marketing help per client – it is not only the time we talk with everyone, it is the research in each case and the amount of time we invest in individual programs we create for each of our clients.
    .

The blog article about your book will be posted, often several times / week for 3 months to all these
sites:

* These are only our official business accounts, our private time-line on these Social Media
has 5,000 followers on Google+ and almost 1,100 in Goodreads pages and counting…

.
We thrive to support you and your book. If you are not yet finished with your manuscript, join now to have a great start. As earlier you begin with marketing activities for your work, as better!
.
Authors can even combine a leisurely Caribbean Cruise at the Carnival Breeze and have their Book Marketing Seminar not online, but “on sea”.  Get details about this exciting Cruise Event.

Even if You Landed a Publishing Deal…

.

In my last post I explained the reasons why I created an individual online Book Marketing seminar for authors, using one-on-one instruction. To get help in promoting a book is not only important for self-publishers, but also in case you landed a publishing deal.  Your publisher will NOT place ads in the NY Times, book promotion is up to YOU!  The first questions a literary agent or a publisher will ask you: What is your platform? Who are your target readers? How will you promote your book?
.

.

Are you one of those writers, hiding behind your laptop, terrified at the thought of “marketing”, because your skill is writing – not marketing? Authors need BOOK PROMOTION, but don’t want to appear like a “used car salesman”.  However remember: “Nobody ever made money writing a book – only by selling it”.
The Most Valuable Book Marketing Help You Can Get ! 

Individual training and customized marketing consultations for your book at an amazing offer!!! Register now to get started on your road to success: Book now, in November or December, and get 3 months of individual marketing training & promotion for your book – for only $59.00.   Regular price after December 31, 2012 will be $98.00.

Do Book Distributors Market and Sell Your Work?

.

Sue Collier:  The short answer is NO… They are delivering your book from where it is ordered.  Actively promoting is the job of the author – even at most publishing houses, where your book is one of thousand others among many, often famous and established authors.  And if you have written only one book, marketing is so much harder.  Even if someone buys the book and likes it, they are expecting the next one soon from you – or they turn to other authors.

Book Marketing must not be costly,  we gave you lots of tips in this blog already. Type “Book Marketing” into the search function (upper right hand side, next to the headline, with the magnifier glass symbol) and you will find dozens, if not hundreds of valuable tips on book marketing “on a shoestring”.

Read this eye-opening blog by Sue Collier from Self-Publishing-Resources.

She tells you the hard truth about first-time, one-book-authors and book promotion. However, she also tells you
how distribution works and how you, as an author can boost book sales by converting it in an e-book and
using all these free promotion tools including social media, the Internet offers now.

And if you have any tips and success stories how promotion for your book worked, let us know here.
