Your Book, Your Marketing Magic

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

Reading Time: Postcard

I am frequently asked if I know someone who can help with book marketing. It is never as simple as someone thinks it should be: I've written a book, surely there's someone who can help me talk about it out in world.

The answer is unexpected, but after 21 years and 68 books this is what I know to be the true answer: Yes, I do. It's you, you are the book who can help with your book marketing.

Before you write a single word:

  • Identify what you want the book to do for you and what you want the reader to do (and not do) after they read it
  • Craft your book marketing plan from your desired end results
  • Think about how you can (and want to) repurpose your book's content into other income streams

About six hours of reading can save you hundreds of hours of "figuring it out" yourself. Check out The You Must Book Business Series here.

See you mañana~

Reading Time: Short note Did it surprise you when I said: you are the best person to market your book? A bit more on this: the most successful authors aren't always the best writers or even the best marketers--but they sure do have a vision before they write a single word. Most authors finish their manuscript, then turn an eye toward how to market it. If you want a book that practically markets itself, you build marketing into the book, not bolted it on after. If you already have a book and...

Reading Time: 4x6 Postcard It's Sunday and I'm going to read like it's my job today! Oh, wait ... 😊 But first, I got a question about the algorithms you might want to know the answer to, too.: Aren't the (Amazon) algorithms constantly changing, so there's really no way to engage them? I know for a fact this is both true and false at the same time. Yes, they are always changing. And yes, you can engage (read: train) them. Think of your book as a baby (not your baby) and you want to keep that...

Reading Time: Short missive Happy Saturday! Is it possible to have a non-drinking hangover? Asking for a friend. My coauthor, Ali, and I have 58 reviews for The Success Code and we both been mighty focused on getting reviews. I explained to him that "just anyone with an Amazon account" isn't the goal--we want reviews from people who would read this type of book anyway. (Business professionals, entrepreneurs, senior-level professionals ... and anyone who is a self-improvement devotee.) Why? To...
