BOOK MARKETING, BOOK PUBLICITY
Book publicist, Annie Jennings shares book marketing strategy to help authors and experts get publicity for their books, learn valuable book marketing techniques and get outstanding book PR.
BOOK MARKETING STRATEGY ARE ESSENTIAL TO BOOK SALES
Learn the book marketing strategies to successfully promote a published book. Annie Jennings notes that if intention alone could sell books, than most books, if not all books, would be best sellers. Unfortunately for every author, whether they publish their book traditionally published or they self-published with print on demand book publishing, the reality is that no matter how good their book is, if the public doesn't know the book is out there and available, they the book just won't sell. Effective book marketing strategy is also needed.
BOOK MARKETING IDEAS FROM Annie Jennings PR
In addition to the book marketing and book publicity ideas presented on the Annie Jennings PR website, here are four more book marketing tips in the series Annie Jennings PR created just for authors entitles "Book Marketing For Sales: 18 Spokes In The Book Marketing Strategy Wheel. Annie Jennings PR has presented this series for standing room only audiences in its entirety and here are four more of the book marketing strategies for you to enjoy:
BOOK MARKETING STRATEGY - Affiliate Marketing That Works
Use the power of your community via a "friends helping friends" publicity strategy. Many of your friends and associates would be happy to help market your book for you if they like the book. Why not ask your circle of friends to read your book (and yes, provide them with a complimentary copy). If they like it, ask them to jump on your promotional band wagon and help you spread the word. When people have the trust of a market group and they recommend a book or an author that carries a lot of power (which is why you let your contacts read your book first so they can recommend the book with certainty).
BOOK MARKETING STRATEGY USING AFFILIATE MARKETING THAT DID NOT WORK
But in contrast to the above point, book authors reported that third party mass emails did not work because they did not have the personal touch, probably had an obvious buy me! buy me! profit motive that no one appreciates. Remember to respect the audience. Yes, they want to know about something good, and no, they don't want to be sold to.
BOOK MARKETING STRATEGY - GET A TOP NOTCH TRAILER FOR THE BOOK
The Annie Jennings PR authors reported that creating exciting and fast-paced trailers (mini-videos about 1 minute long) were very successful in leading to sales. Be sure your trailer is available everywhere your books is for sale.
BOOK MARKETING STRATEGY- GET SOMEONE TO HELP YOU
Get an assistant. You will get a lot more done! With book marketing there is so much to do and many authors find it next to impossible to get it all done themselves. You may need help. Invest in yourself and hire someone or you can also get interns from your local college who are studying communications and media to help. Without support, you just might wind up being a "here today, gone tomorrow, all talk, no action" type of book author. This happens when you just have too much to do yourself, get overwhelmed, burned out and then it's over.
BOOK MARKETING STRATEGY - KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL
Getting publicity for your book is the best part of publishing your book. You get to see and experience your mission in motion. Know why you wrote your book, what you wanted to accomplish with your book and keep this in mind when the going gets a little tough. Be clear about your goals and intentions so you know when you are successful. One of the book marketing strategies is to just keep going everyday and kick it up a notch each day as well.
