Has No One Told You This?

.

.

There are lots of possibilities to let everyone know about your book, without even incurring any costs.  Browsing through our more than 1,500 blog posts, you will find an abundance of book marketing tips!  

However, most important is, to have a solid amount of friends and followers on Goodreads, Twitter, Google+ and Facebook  – at least 2,000 on every Social Media site, and a long list of opt-in email addresses to send out invitations for your book launch or any other news-worthy events – or for your readers to download single chapters or short stories as a teaser.
.

Check out the genres that are popular and announce your books on these book reader’s blogs and websites:

Google writes:  “Once you send Google your titles (or upload them as PDF files), we’ll add them to our index for free. By matching the content in your books with user searches, Google Books connects your books with the users who are most interested in buying them. Each Google Books result will display the book’s title and author, a short excerpt containing the highlighted search terms, and other public data about the book.”
.

Get as Many Book Reviews as Possible:
Finding reviewers is so much easier if you are well-established in Goodreads communities and other writer / book forums. Start a book giveaway on Goodreads at least a month before your book will be printed (create “dummies” with the help of a digital copy/print company or through “espresso book machines”. When giving out these early copies, try to solicit as many reviews as possible. Use the best reviews for blurbs on your final book cover.

http://www.GoodReads.com

http://www.Wattpad.com

If you have an Amazon account, you could visit the Amazon Kindle forum, where Kindle users share their experiences with the Kindle reader, and also talk about books available for the Kindle. Many authors also post about their new books and join the conversations. When you introduce yourself, consider telling folks there about your book.  Be polite and conversational in tone, and be sure to provide direct hyperlinks to your book page.
.

Benefits of Content Marketing
Why asking for (media) reviews, when you could get both: book promotion and at the same time (often) being paid?  I know, it is a new concept to many writers, but when you think about it – it makes really sense: why use your time and effort to chase reviewers, when you can use your energy to leverage your books content and your research content – to create articles that you can pitch to both, print and online newspapers and magazines?  And as an added benefit: You get valuable back-links to your website/blog or book sales page!
.

Make use of your assets!
The three main assets you have as an author:

• your writing skills
• the content you already wrote
• the research you have done for your book(s)

.

Again: Start Early!
If you’re waiting until the book is finished to start marketing, you’re already behind the curve. As an author, you should devote a portion of every day to get your name out there and to build relationships with prospective readers, partners and friends.  And with relationships I don’t mean advertising your book (tweeting: buy my book, buy my book, buy ….) this is not relationship-building!
.

All books live or die, based on word of mouth!
If you try to build your network after you release your book, you’ll face a more difficult challenge. If you build a large social network BEFORE you release your book, your marketing efforts will be much more successful.
.

Help is on the Way:
If you have a full-time job and / or other commitments and not at least an hour per day left to build your platform and network with potential readers, let us do a good part of your book PR, and at the same time we will coach you over the phone and teach you how book marketing can be done on a very low budget – all for less than two dollars / day.  Read more about this valuable and extensive package we offer to authors.

You Are Not Alone – Get a Mentor

.

.

You just wanted to write – and upload your book to Amazon, expecting that it becomes an instant hit. The writing – your skills – an art you mastered, is making you proud. However the publishing / marketing process feels scary … and you never before thought about becoming an entrepreneur.
.

Sure, you know all the benefits of self-publishing:

• Author-publishing brought your book much faster to market, than waiting almost two years till it hits the shelves, even if you got a publishing contract
• The marketing part will always be completely on you, no matter if you self-publish or if you go with a big traditional publisher
• As a self-publisher you keep full control over the book design, the sales outlets, the price and the time your book will be on the market (maybe forever) – just to name a few
• if your book is successful you can make a lot more money than a “published author”

.
You learned a lot already:
You read all the blog articles how to become a real author-publisher, even with printed books and their distribution to bookstores, running from April 8 – April 13 on https://savvybookwriters.wordpress.com/

.
But you still have many questions… it seems, as if you have to learn a complete new profession. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone on your site to help you with:

• all the details of the e-book and print book production process 
• how readers can find your book on Amazon, B&N, Kobo, Apple etc.
• how you can create your “platform” and establish a brand as a writer
• how you set up a blog/website and a social media presence
• which reader forums you should join 
• … plus all these questions you did not even know to ask
  .

The Value of Mentor-ship
We do not only work for our clients during the time you actually book us, but long after, giving you regularly tips and news.  The articles we write about your book will stay on our sites forever.
With our help, self-publishing and book marketing can become an enjoyable journey for you: We help you to save time, money and efforts in your publishing / book marketing process.
.

Take Advantage of Our Professional Help
We have studied business, marketing and e-publishing and have 30 years publishing experience. We customize coaching to your needs and teach you:

• how to identify your target readers & plan your blog content & marketing strategies
• how to find lots of readers, book bloggers & reviewers
• … and the list goes on and on. Don’t forget: Writing is an art – publishing a business!

.
Would you learn to drive a car or fly a plane without instructor? 
It is frightening first, but once you have learned it – with a professional instructor on your site – gaining self-confidence, it becomes sheer pleasure for you. Everything you accomplished in life makes you proud and is fun doing. So will be author-publishing and book marketing!

.

As you can see, our Book Marketing Help is customized for you, the author, and we will individually work with you on your book’s success. It all starts with our purchase of your book and then an evaluation of your book’s sales page, your social media presence and your marketing activities so far.

.

Get Help from Professionals who Have Studied Marketing & E-Publishing for years – and who have more than 30 years experience in book publishing, magazine publishing and now e-publishing.

We do NOT sell publishing / marketing videos, pre-recorded Webinars or DVD’s! We really work one-on-one with you!!! In some cases we worked up to 20 hours 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.  We recently did a search of several dozen book publicity sites and their price for similarly individual marketing and comparable work would be around $2,500.

.

.
It’s an adventure for sure … and you never wanted to become an entrepreneur! You just wanted to write. Publishing and marketing are almost scary tasks for you. It seems, as if you have to learn a complete new profession. The writing is finished, yet there are so many new challenges approaching:

• proofreading and editing
• cover design and ebook formatting
• uploading to all online retailers
• choosing a print form and get a layouter
• getting articles published about you and your book

.

And more questions are coming up:

• why do I have to market my book, even it is on Amazon?
• what on earth is a “platform”?
• why should I create a brand as author?
• why and how should I create a blog/website?
• why do I have to be on these social media sites?
• why join several reader forums?

.

So, how can you make self-publishing and book marketing an enjoyable journey, how can you learn it all, without even studying economy, marketing, e-publishing etc ?
.

Take advantage of our professional help to learn:

• how you can establish a brand as a writer

Would you learn to drive a car or fly a plane without instructor?
Compare learning to be a successful author-publisher to getting a drivers licence or learning a new language or to fly an airplane: It is frightening first, but once you have learned it – with a professional instructor on your site – and you gain self-confidence, it becomes sheer pleasure. Would you learn to drive a car, learn a new language or fly a plane without instructor?
