Reading time: 28 seconds

Two years. Over a decade ago, one of my friends told me she spent two years painstakingly writing her "perfect book." She finally hit publish and waited.

And waited. And waited. #crickets #notevenacricket

What she didn't realize, until we got connected, that writing a great book is only 20% of a book's success. Marketing is the other 80%.

Most authors think marketing means posting on social media, sending an email or seven, and then hoping for the best.

We've talked about this so many times--hope is not a strategy.

It's not always intuitive, and if this is the first time you're hearing that marketing is responsible for 80% of your book's success, that's okay. Here's the thing: you'll want to engage in the strategic marketing that positions your book solidly in the face of its ideal readers.

Before you get overwhelmed, it's all good! I've got you covered--you can take my more than two decades of experience, which I've distilled down to the one-two-three things to do to catapult your book's success.

As a companion to You Must Market Your Book, I created the Companion Workbook and a course: Book Marketing Mastery. The course gives you the exact system I've used to sell almost 5 million books (and build multiple seven-figure income streams).

No fluff, no theory—just the proven strategies that turn authors into empires.

You can master book marketing and become the authority in your field with the course. Get it here and use code "subscriber" to save 30%: →https://honoreecorder.com/courses/marketing/​

I'll be back on Saturday--tomorrow I'll be celebrating the 4th of July with family and eating my weight in brisket and watermelon! 🇺🇸
