[PAST EVENT] Leveraging Your eBooks with Kelly Peterson

October 23, 2018 by Ruth Schwartz 2 Comments

Get the most bang for your buck by learning how to use your eBooks to sell both print and eBook new releases!

 (General meeting begins at 9 am, speaker presentation is at 11 am, after Q&A, networking time, introductions & announcements), followed by our informal lunch gathering from 12:15 pm-3 pm. Scroll down for details and to register.

Current BAIPA members must log in first to get a free ticket to the morning session and a discounted ticket for the afternoon workshop. Then come back to this page.

MORNING PRESENTATION:
Using Your eBooks as Key Marketing Tools

Everyone knows that first week sales are a “make it or break it” moment for any new book. But how do you make each new release a success?

There are several ways to market your new release, but few that as inexpensive as your ebooks. Many promotions revolve around supporting backlist, which has already slowed. These tried and true methods will help you in all these arenas:

  • Making the most out of preorders;
  • How to use subscription services (like KU) to drive sales;
  • How to create a back of the book ad that works;
  • What to do on the web to create better search results;
  • How to leverage your backlist for great effect;
  • Some third-party services that can make the difference.

As an indie author (or a publisher for other authors), you should find plenty of low hanging fruit that could make your next release your best one.

NO AFTERNOON WORKSHOP

Instead, everyone attending the morning session is welcome to bring a bag lunch and stay for a casual gathering with discussions around the tables. We’ll provide some conversation starters at each table in case they’re helpful, but you probably won’t need them. This is a chance to hang out informally with your BAIPA friends and colleagues. Discuss the morning presentation, what you’re each working on, or pick the brains of your community around some problem or challenge or opportunity. There will be no formal afternoon workshop, but there will be a reason to stick around for a bit, relax and socialize.

    I ‘m not sure this is for signing up for the workshop on 10/10. I hope so. I think asking us to do the traffic light thing is downright insulting. We are members.

      Carol – That traffic light thing is a security measure. The BAIPA website was hit was a ton of spam generated by bots and this is the solution.
