Are you an author or aspiring author who cares about your book and wants to see it make a difference?

Do you love writing, but find the whole prospect of marketing your book overwhelming and confusing? You may have spent hours researching online, but still feel totally unclear about what exactly you need to do to launch and market your book.

You might even be hoping that once your book is written, your work is complete and sales will flood in.

Unfortunately, that’s not likely to happen . . . without a little help.

Every year, almost 1,000,000 new books are published in the United States alone, and most of them never sell more than 250 copies in their first year.

But what if you had a way to cut through the noise and actually sell your book and reach the exact people you wrote it for?

  • If you want to focus the majority of your time on your craft and minimum time on book marketing (how does 20 minutes a day sound?) . . .
  • If you know your book could make a difference, if only you could reach the right audiences . . .
  • If you are motivated and ready to take charge of your book marketing, and quit wasting time trying to figure the whole thing out . . .

You need a proven, step-by-step guide that will tell you exactly how to market your book, and what to do when.

Once you have the right system, all of this is possible.
With a well-executed book marketing strategy, you can enjoy the credibility and profits that you receive from being a truly successful author. Maybe you’d like to:

 

        • Sell enough books to fund your writing, and then some. Do you dream of retiring from your profession and focusing solely on your writing? Or perhaps you want your book to supplement your work and help you grow in your career? A successful book launch and marketing strategy is the only way to get there.
        • Truly make an impact with the people who want and need your book. Let’s face it, you may know the exact audience that needs your book, but have no idea how to reach them. With a proven, step-by-step guide, you can learn how to find these audiences, connect with them, and inspire them to buy your books and engage with you.
        • Boost your core business and author platform. Many authors have goals beyond just selling books—and you probably do too. Are you interested in becoming an authority in your field, getting invited to speak and teach about the material in your book? Are you trying to boost your core business by publishing a book? With properly executed book marketing, your book can be your best tool for achieving your biggest goals.
        • Feel proud to show your book to the world. Writing a book is a long and tedious process, and you may have second-guessed yourself. Or perhaps your colleagues, employees, spouse, family, and friends humored you as you wrote your book, but never really expected it to go anywhere. No matter what you endured while writing your book, you can proudly show your book and its success to the world with a well-executed book launch and strategy.
        • Set the stage for your next book launch or future writing projects to be an even bigger success. If you are self-published, increase the chances that your book will get picked up by a publisher. Publishers want to see that their authors have an audience that they can effectively market to. If you have a publisher, set yourself up for future deals that pay you more profit and give you more control over your books. Regardless of where you are now, once you have created and built a successful author platform, you will be able to launch more books to greater audiences that trust you and your work in the future.
In today’s saturated market, a strong book launch and marketing strategy is the only way to effectively to share your book with the world.

Unfortunately . . .

There is so much information about book marketing on the internet, but nothing that gives you the exact, concrete steps to take.

This leaves you stuck—and you’re not alone.

The Top 4 Things Authors Get Stuck On:

Are any of these holding you back?

 

        • Long-term marketing strategy: You may know how to create some excitement when the book actually launches, but what about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 months before launch? What about 6 months after? How do you build up momentum and keep it going?
        • Conflicting messages about social media: You’ve created a Facebook group, an email list, and a Twitter account, but nothing is really resulting in sales. It’s not your fault—although so many articles want us to think that simply posting on these platforms can bring big success, they don’t do much on their own, but only when used as part of a proven system (that we’ve tested and perfected over 8 years).
        • Tech overwhelm: Do you need a website? Just a one-pager? How about a store on your website? There are so many types of websites out there . . . how do you figure out which type will best serve your book and how to actually create it (without being a tech whiz)?
        • Reaching the right people: You know that there are so many people out there who would want to read your book . . . but have no idea how to reach them.
