Are you an indie author hoping to make a real impact with your book, but struggling with how to get it into the hands of more readers? 

Many authors wait until their book is published to start marketing, missing out on crucial opportunities to build a loyal readership. In this episode, we're diving deep into the top three things you should focus on before your book even hits the shelves to dramatically boost your book sales.

Join host Dalene Bickel as she debunks the common misconception that marketing only begins after publication. Whether you're a first-time author or a seasoned writer looking to revitalize an existing title, the strategies shared in this episode will help you expand your reach and connect with your ideal readers.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why starting your book marketing early is essential for maximizing sales and impact.
  • The importance of becoming visible as an author and how to cast a wide net to tell everyone about your upcoming (or existing) book.
  • Strategies for building a thriving launch team to create a dedicated community around your book.
  • Key steps to create a book worth buying, including essential research, feedback, and professional support.
  • How even previously published authors can apply these pre-publication strategies for re-launches or updated editions.
