SELL MORE BOOKS WITH LESS MARKETINGThis book is a crash course on some of the more creative book marketing strategies I've discovered in my first year of publishing fiction. It will provide simple, actionable steps to publishing a high quality book quickly, doing only as much marketing as is necessary to launch your book like a rockstar, and keep it selling enough to support you while you write more books.Â
I only mention the things I actually use, that I know work, and ignore all the other things that don't get results. We'll discuss:Â
- how to write books readers loveÂ
- self-publishing without getting ripped offÂ
- how to get hundreds of book reviewsÂ
- paid advertising and release strategiesÂ
- pricing and pre-ordersÂ
- book giveaways for rapid listbuildingÂ
- how to target your audienceÂ
- viral exposure and press coverageÂ
- setting up automated funnels so you spend less time promotingÂ
- marketing hacks so good they should be illegalÂ
- and how to reach your first $1000 on KindleÂ
LAUNCH BIG EVEN IF YOU'RE STARTING SMALLÂ "Guerrilla" is a style of warfare intended to surprise and harass enemies. It can also mean using unconventional and usually inexpensive means to generate interest or raise concern among the public. That's basically how I'll use it: book marketing strategies from the trenches to help you win the publishing war.Â
However, instead of "surprise and harass" I will focus on "surprise and delight." First you need to show up and get in front of the right people. Then you need to surprise and delight them. You need to be remarkable enough to be noticed. Few authors are using these strategies (yet) so it's relatively easy to outrank your competition, get more visibility and reach new readers.Â
FREE BONUS WORKBOOKÂ This book is mostly theory and ideas, and links to a lot of external resources, but I've recently finished a companion workbook that goes into more detail and gives exact, step-by-step plans to follow. For a limited time, this book includes access to the 67-page PDF.Â
There's never been a better time to change the world with a book that matters. This book is predicated on the belief that everyone deserves the chance to tell their story.Â
