Effectively promoting a book today requires knowledge, some finesse, and a plan that's a cure bet to reach your target readers. Book marketing experts remind you to employ a mix of methods rather than over-relying on a single one, such as social media. It's also wise (and helpful) to begin planning by studying where your target readers are watching, listening, and reading. Promotion only sparks book sales when it reaches people interested in your book and its topic, so you want to be selective about where you place your emphasis. When you get it right, you'll sell books more briskly.
Today, everyone is aware of the promotional potential of the internet, including social media, and many wonder if it alone is enough. The answer varies by book and author, but in general, most people would need more followers than they have to promote effectively with social media only. But when your posts are combined with guest blogging, podcasting, podcast guest appearances, and other channels, you have a promotional program. It's also wise to be dynamic in your marketing efforts. Begin with your plan and stick to it, but make adjustments after you find out what works best to spark book sales.
Sales promotion in the form of discounts, often on eBook downloads, can also get you into the good graces of all-important algorithms. With most books sold online these days, you must be recommended to shoppers searching in your genre. Large online booksellers drive their businesses with recommendations based on what people are browsing. You want your become to become one that's recommended frequently, and selling copies and downloads makes a good impression. It's why eBook promotions at the time of your launch can jump-start sales and get you off to a stronger start.
Many successful authors rely on media coverage to build their visibility and stature. While you can attempt media outreach "DIY," hiring a publicist is safer. If you do, be clear in your goals and expectations for the campaign. There are many options when planning one, and you want to ensure they support your objectives with the book. For example, some savvy business people become authors for the promotional value. They are less interested in selling books and want the emphasis on their personal visibility and the spill-over business promotion it generates – it helps them earn more income.
