Finding Your Audience for Author-Publishers
Are You Serious about Selling Books?
When your goal is to sell more books, and you are not sure where to start, this is the workshop for you. Authors will get help in answering these questions:
- who is my ideal audience?
- what if I have more than one audience that fits my book?
- where can I find my audience?
- how do I connect and stay connected with my audience?
You will gain clarity on the best ways to connect with and grow your tribe of readers. You will flesh out the description of your ideal reader and what is important to them. You will practice and refine your core message.
This workshop is for you if you want to learn slime-free ways to promote and market yourself and your book.
