Let’s make a plan to sell your book!

You’ve written and published your book and now you have no idea what to do. I can help.

Marketing isn’t about strong-arming your friends to buy your book or hyping it to your neighbors. Nobody likes to be sold. But we love to buy.

Marketing means finding the ideal readers who want to read a book like yours. Your ideal readers would welcome a chance to read your book.

And if you marketed your book by connecting with your ideal readers and had conversations, none that involve bugging people to buy your book. That would be kind of cool, wouldn’t it?

Marketing your book could actually be fun.

A book marketing plan helps you define your ideal reader and how to reach them. Then you promote your book and your topic just to them. “But, why don’t people just buy it? It’s on Amazon.” Without promotion, nobody will know your book is there. Amazon has millions of books for sale. It’s up to you, the author, to make it stand out.

Here are the steps we use to create a marketing plan for your book:

First, we define your objectives for publishing. Is publishing a book a one-time item to check off your bucket list? Or are you planning to publish a series or want to publish a book to enhance your consulting business? Your objectives for publishing will help you determine how much time, money and effort you’ll devote to marketing your book. Next, we define who your audience is. The more defined your market is, the easier it is to market your book. Then we create a strategy to reach that market and activities to carry out that strategy.

No strong-arming needed.
