MORNING PRESENTATION:
Launch Your Book Like a Pro: Sell More Books with Beta Readers, Pre-Sale Campaigns, and Amazon Ads
Many writers publish their books without realizing how important it is to have a marketing plan ready before the book is released into the wild. Avoid this mistake with your next book by planning a launch campaign that gets big results.
In this content-rich presentation, you will learn how to:
- Optimize your book sales on Amazon.
- Enlist a group of beta readers to generate feedback, buzz and reviews.
- Assemble your launch team and set them up for success.
- Make your print and ebook editions available for pre-order weeks before your book is officially released.
- Follow essential steps to launch your book with as much fanfare as possible.
- Invest in Amazon ads to get more exposure, and then earn back your investment over and over again.
- Keep the momentum going after the launch is over.
When you invest time preparing for a successful book launch, you give your book a great head start. This enlightening presentation is loaded with real-world examples and proven DIY strategies to help you sell more books!
Bring a bag lunch and stay for our casual gathering between sessions.
Then join us for an in-depth workshop with marketing expert Nolan Lowry.
AFTERNOON WORKSHOP WITH
NOLAN LOWRY, MARKETING COACH
In marketing, so many of us forget to share why we’re doing what we do. What the impact is that we want to make on the world. We need to build our marketing foundation to scale our audience and grow our author platform.
When thinking about how we marketing ourselves and our books there are a few things that are vitally important to communicate. Ask yourself some questions:
- What is your why (why do you get up in the morning and do what you do)?
- What are your Core Values?
- What is your Mission with your publishing projects?
- What is your Vision?
- When you’re no longer on the planet, what impact have you made on those you touched?
