How to Get Individual Publishing / BookMarketing Consultation

.

Get Publishing and Book Marketing Advice

.

THE most often asked question by writers and would-be self-publishers in Google searches: “How to publish a book”.  This prompts to show up 348 Million answers – many from Vanity Publishers, who lay out their traps… but also some useful tips.  However not every advice is suitable for every book and every author.  Only the manuscript, the authors goals, their marketing knowledge (often zero) and the potential readership for the upcoming book is known, publishing advice can be customized – not one size fits all.

.
Over the Phone / Skype Consultation
It’s a budget-friendly way to get started with your publishing process, building your platform and marketing your book(s). Consider discussing your book with an experienced (30+ years) publishing and book marketing professional, in a personalized conversation. This valuable, yet very inexpensive package includes a meeting of up to 3 hours – or two meetings of 1,5 hours via phone in North America or Skype (worldwide).
A very affordable fee of only $79 allows every author to get professional advice and help.  Order secure and conveniently via PayPal.

.
Great Benefit for You:

• Are you thinking about publishing your own book?
• Do you have a book you think will sell but don’t know how to market it?
• Do you want to start seriously publishing in POD (Print-on-Demand)?
• Do you want to learn all the in-and-outs of navigating Social Media?
• Do you want to avoid costly mistakes and time-consuming “trial and errors”?
• Do you want to do it right from the beginning, publishing in a professional way?

.
How it Works:
As better you are prepared as more you will get out of our “meeting”.  Write down all your questions you might have in regards of publishing and book marketing.  Prior to our conversation, you’ll fill out a comprehensive questionnaire, designed to familiarize us with your opportunities and audience.  We will buy and read your e-book or go through parts of your manuscript if it is a print book only and study / evaluate the questionnaire, once it is filled out and returned to us.
After the consultation session you will get an analysis of your book or your concept.

.
Practical, Results-Driven Steps
Your consultation will focus on your most effective strategies for your book marketing and will help you prioritize practical, results-driven steps to best promote you and your book.  If you haven’t published before we will help you to become familiar with all the possibilities available and their pro’s and con’s, so that you can make an informed decision.

.
Topics We Will Discuss
We will provide a comprehensive introduction to book marketing as well as more targeted feedback on specific concerns and questions, including but not limited to:

• Evaluating your cover art, cover copy, author bio, and pricing strategy
• Ensuring that your book looks professional, not self-published
• Having your book in print, e-book and audio format
• Building your platform and author brand
• Social media opportunities such as Google+, Goodreads, Twitter, FB, Pinterest etc.)
• Working with a traditional publisher or POD
• Where to get an ISBN, find editors, e-book formatters, lay-outers, cover artists
• Selling through Amazon and other online retailers
• How to get book reviews – before and after your book launch
• Book Distribution and direct book sales
• Public Relation and media campaigns
• Possibilities of translations or foreign right sales
• Getting bookstores and libraries to carry your book – worldwide
• How to avoid traps at “self publishing” and “vanity publishers”

.
After your consultation, we’ll send you a follow-up guide with hundreds of tips and links as a guide for your future publishing and book marketing activities. This way you don’t have to get distracted by taking notes while we are talking, and you will always have a “blue print” for future book publishing.

.
Our publishing and book marketing consultation and coaching is appropriate for and can be tailored to writers who are going the traditionally or the self-publishing route.  A very affordable fee of only $79 allows every author to get professional advice and help.

How to Get Help for Successful Holiday Book Sales

.

.
The coming weeks will be a very busy time for authors: they might even participate in NaNoWriMo, creating 50,000-word novels, spending long hours of writing and editing, or tinkering about self-publishing, starting pre-sales for their upcoming book on Amazon, or have finally their first book launch. Writing books and then self-publishing can turn into a full-time job – a business or profession that very few authors studied before. So how can we help writers and self-publishers with publishing consulting and promoting their books?
.

Take Advantage of Our Knowledge
Our experience in publishing spans more than 30 years, including e-publishing and writing for magazines. During our popular 3-month Online Seminar you will learn everything to build your platform and your author brand – and at the same time promote your books in a couple of weeks.
If you would study and research everything necessary to become a successful self-publisher it would take you years…
This is the most successful marketing service we offer, combining all the information and support an author needs to plan for a successful book release, or to boost the exposure of an already published book – helpful to boost sales for the upcoming holiday season. We certainly help you to promote your book during this time through our Social Media accounts and blogs. The author interview and articles about your book will stay at our high-ranking blogs and websites forever.

.
Individual Consulting – Tailored to Your Book
The first step at the Online Seminar will be for us to read your book to understand your writing and your potential audience, while you will fill out a detailed questionnaire. This gives us an overview, identifying your specific strengths and opportunities. One size does not fit all with book marketing, so each marketing plan is different, based on the project’s needs and timing. We will thoroughly analyse your target audience and for example will help you to:

• professionally write jacket copy, author bio, and tag lines
• create your author pages, e.g. on Amazon, Goodreads, Google+
• personalize guidelines for your marketing strategy
• specify steps and projects for your book launch
• create publicity angles and press release topics,
• show you how to pitch bookstores and libraries
• learn how to find book bloggers and book reviewers
• organise book giveaways, online campaigns, contests
• use successfully social media networking and marketing and how to save time at your online activities

.
One-on-One Crash Course
Not every channel is appropriate for every book marketing project, so we’ll recommend what will work best for you.  And: None of these activities we suggest for your book marketing will cost you an extra dime.  Important for your success at this Online Seminar is your willingness to learn and to work actively on your platform.
The package includes at least 3 hours of phone or Skype consultation to discuss the plan, answer questions, and help you determine your next steps. Call it a one-on-one crash course in book marketing, targeted for your title and audience.

.
That’s Not All…
There is way more what you get out of this Online Seminar: Exposure to hundred-thousands of readers on our online presentations, unlimited book marketing consultations by email for up to three months, an article / author-interview to introduce you and your book to readers, instructions / checklist / links for you to use for your book promotions.  Did I mention that this 3-months Online Seminar will be very affordable, less than $2 a day.  All in all only US $179.
.

There is another way to get help with publishing and book marketing: our phone / Skype consultations, which we will introduce in the next blog article. Stay tuned!

Top 7 Regrets of Less Successful Authors

.

.
“If I would have known then, what I know now” or “why didn’t I listen to …” and yes there might be much to regret.  However, it is never too late and with your next book there is another chance to do the publishing and book marketing part much better planned and in time for the book launch. Authors are always “before the next book” so why not start today writing your prequels and use the content of your older books manuscript to create lots of short stories or blog posts, guest blogs or free chapters – in order to show off your writing and at the same time announce your next bestseller.
.
These Are the Regrets I Often Hear or Read from Writers:

• started too late with Social Networking 
• did not learn about publishing and marketing
• did not evaluate the market for my book
• did not study the books’ competition 
• did not get professionals to edit / proofread the book
• did not pay enough attention to book layout 
• did not check the formatting before publishing

You might even add two more regrets if you sold your manuscript to a trade publisher in order to be able to brag that you are a “published” author:

• not to have an attorney checked your publishing contract and explained it to you
• not to have realized the implications that your book has only 3 months to fly from the shelves at bookstores and online retailers
  .

What Can be Improved in the Future:

How to build a solid foundation to network with lots of followers, and how to find lots of readers for your short stories, newspaper articles and guest blogs long before starting to publish your book, is explained here: https://savvybookwriters.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/the-truth-about-author-platforms/ 

.
Learn all about publishing possibilities and book marketing long before writing your book. It is so easy, either by attending a weekend seminar or one-on-one via a customized online Seminar in the comfort of your home:  https://savvybookwriters.wordpress.com/2013/10/28/the-latest-numbers-for-your-benefit/
https://savvybookwriters.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/publishing-seminar-in-decaturatlanta-ga-march-1/ 

.
Answer yourself these questions:  How many similar books are on the market?  Go into Amazon’s categories to find out. What do you think about their book covers?  How are theirs, compared to your books’ price?  Who will be your readers? Where on Social Media did you find readers in your Genre / book category? Who are your target readers? Are you visible to the right audience for the work you are trying to sell?  http://www.rachellegardner.com/2012/02/know-your-competition/
.

A few typos may look like a little matter – but they can cost you big business. The editors or the proof readers job is to partner with you on a journey to make your vision of your book working – in the way your prospective readers will see it. https://savvybookwriters.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/manuscript-finished-tips-for-pre-book-production/

.
Suddenly confronted with fonts, typography, page and other book layout requirements? However, not only for printed books, but also for e-books it is essential to know a bit about the possibilities and rules.
http://www.thebookdesigner.com/understanding-fonts-typography/
.

Test the formatting results on multiple devices. Get your hands on as many reading devices as possible — or, failing that, get in touch with people who have a number of different reading devices and get feedback from them. The desktop Kindle application, for instance, has quirks that the actual device does not, so it helps to know when problems like this are relevant.  Be prepared to repeat as necessary.
http://guidohenkel.com/2010/12/take-pride-in-your-ebook-formatting/

.

Signing a “Standard” Publishing Contract can have serious consequences for authors. A publisher’s standard agreement could contain a one-sided non-competition clause that prevents the author from using material from his manuscript in day-to-day business, such as blogs posts, magazine articles, even tweets. Do use the comprehensive Book Contract Checklist by Attorney Lloyd J. Jassin!
http://www.copylaw.com/new_articles/final.three.html

.
Your book has four months to fly off the shelves. If your book doesn’t sell in the first four months of its bookstore life, it will be remaindered and disappears from bookstores und could end up at “A Buck a Book”.  90 to 95% of books don’t pay back their advance. Royalty will only be paid if the advance is paid back. What you get up front as an advance is usually all you will ever get. If you screw up on your first book, you are out. If you do well with it, publishers will be eager to see your next title.
https://savvybookwriters.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/what-publishers-won%E2%80%99t-tell-you/

Hope you found these tips useful and your next books publication goes smooth and successful. Let us know what was your regret from a former publishing experience.

• why do I have to be on these social media sites?
