Free Book Marketing Tip #3

August 24, 2015 by Judy Baker

Free Book Marketing Tip #3 — Make a Table Top Display featuring your book cover.

It is a fact that most authors don’t make a lot of money from selling their books. Many make real money by getting hired to speak.

If you are just getting started in promoting your book or your expertise as a speaker, I recommend you invest in a table top display. Using an image of your book cove, will help you sell more books. A table top display is portable enough for you to take with you everywhere. Use it at events where you are a speaker, and at trade shows where you are planning to sell your book. A vertical display will gain the eyes of your buyers. Make it easy for people to see it, read it and take action.

Free Book Marketing Tip – Using Facebook Pages

August 22, 2015 by Judy Baker

Free Book Marketing Tip - Facebook Pages

Facebook Pages are Free

It doesn’t cost you anything but your time and creativity to add a Facebook Page to your marketing mix. Advertising fees are surprisingly low and you have complete control over how much, how often and what goes into your targeted ads.

Make a Facebook Page for Each of Your Books

I went to a workshop put on by Facebook. I learned some great ways to reach your desired audience by using Facebook Pages. Facebook Pages are different from a personal profile in several ways:

  • Pages give you the ability to select your audience using demographics (location, age, gender)
  • You can advertise from a page
  • It is all about your book
  • You can link a group of pages together if you have separate but related content

The Power of Visibility

The more places you feature your book, the more likely your book will be discovered. One of the best benefits of using a channel like Facebook is the sheer volume of people who are on it every day. You can share posts, photos, video, audio, links to your blog, links to other social channels too.

Try it and See

Get started now, whether you are already published or if you are in the pre-publication phase of your book. Facebook Pages can help you connect with your ideal audience and get them talking about your book. You can see an example of a Facebook Page for a book here. We have used photos, video and outbound links to help educate our audience.

Setting Up Your Facebook Page

There are articles and support for setting up your page and using it on Facebook. Take a look at this page to get started.

Need help?

Not sure what or how to do it yourself? Don’t miss out on this opportunity to reach your ideal audience. Call on me, Judy Baker, your book marketing expert. I can build an attractive Facebook Page for your book and show you how to use this platform to sell more books.

Free Book Marketing Tip #2 for Independent Publishers

August 17, 2015 by Judy Baker

Today’s free book marketing tip – Don’t Build Your House on Rented Land.

Your website is your marketing hub. That means, you have a domain name (url) that you own. Yes, it is possible to create a website for free on social sites like blogger, Tumblr, and even WordPress.com. I advise you to invest in your own domain which will cost about $10 a year. Put up a hosted site using WordPress.org (this is free).

Once you have a website, put your content there first. Then, share it on social channels like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. You own your content. You might even turn your blog into a book (Nina Amir is the expert in how to do this and has created templates and guides for the process.  Click here to view more details.)

Post often to your own website/blog and then share using links to your content on your site.

Gus Kearney

August 14, 2015 by Judy Baker

Gladstone Manor Publishing just published The Education of Joey G. is a new novel by Gus Kearney.

I am working with Gus on his book marketing program. I’ve launched his website, biggkelt.com, sent out his first book announcement to family and friends via Constant Contact, and sent out press releases to local media.

Gus is from Lansdowne, Pennsylvania (the setting for the movie Silver Linings Playbook). His novel is a series of stories chronicling the experiences of the main character from age six to young adulthood. Joey has to overcome his own failings, as well as the  dysfunctional behavior of the people in his life. Set in the 50s through the early 70s, it is woven with the sensibilities, racism and sexual standards of the times.

Gus will be giving a book reading at Reader’s Books in Sonoma on September 19.
