It’s hard to believe, but the last time I did a Featured on Friday of nothing but links was all the way back in December! It’s been a busy spring season as we’ve worked our way through the various book launches, and today marks the last day of our 49th book launch – Wind In Your Sails. Whew!
We love helping authors grow their online presence and find the perfect audience for their books. Each one of these books represents a lot of work and effort from our authors and their personal teams and we want to support them in whatever way we can, whether that’s by spreading the word on social media, hosting webinars, or giving them a little boost during a relaunch.
Thanks to the faithful members of Team Buzz Builder – and now the Lead Change Group – we are able to help our clients reach millions of new people because of the megaphone of social media. I like to tell the authors that I work with that a book launch is a marathon and not a sprint.
Train for the long term, keep your eyes on the future, and realize that this one week is just the kick off for long term success.
Below you will find the marathons that we’ve started this year. The official launch weeks might be over for these authors, but the buzz never needs to slow down! Check out their books, leave reviews, visit their websites, and help us keep the excitement going all year long.
