I've been working in promotions and marketing work for over fifteen years. When I got a contract for my first novel, I knew that I had to learn how to promote my books. Most types of promotion are similar although each product or service is a little different. So, I knew a background in marketing would be a big advantage. At that point, I needed to learn the ins and outs of promoting books.
The Book Promo 101 series is a way for me to share the things I've learned. Many authors I know don't really want to take the time away from writing to promote, but what's the point of having your work published - if no one gets to read it?
Book Promo 101 is the first book in a series that I plan to write. Book Promo 101 is about the basics of book promotion. It will give you information about many times of promotion. In the upcoming books, I will focus on a specific type of promotion in much more detail.
Some of the topics that are discussed in Book Promo 101 include:
How Do You Develop a Marketing Mind
When Should You Start Promoting
Design Your Book with Promotion in Mind
Should You Hire a Publicist
Creating a Marketing Plan
What Goes in a Press Kit
Writing and Distributing Press Releases
Utilize Book Reviews
Designing an Author Website
Use Promotional Items
Selling Books in Book Stores
Other Places and Ways to Sell Books
Blogging About Your Book
Use Email and Signature Blocks to Promote
Use Forums and Message Boards
Expand Your Area of Influence
This information is just the beginning.
The book is written to help authors learn. There are review questions at the end of each chapters. I've included promotional tips from a wide variety of friends throughout the book. Their comments are interesting and add diversification. You will also meet my Muze in the sections called "Muze's Musings". Watch from "Muze's Musings" on Blogger.
