In this milestone 30th episode, I'm thrilled to share expert strategies for mastering self-publishing with you. Let’s dive into the critical marketing tactics every author should know to elevate their book's journey to success. We kick off by exploring the journey of self-publishing for professionals, focusing on common pitfalls. From neglecting early marketing efforts to spreading yourself too thin across platforms, we cover it all.
We delve into the importance of building anticipation three to four months before your release, using strategies like behind-the-scenes content, live readings, and podcast interviews. I also guide you through crafting a 90-day pre-launch timeline to ensure your book hits the ground running.
Social media can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Learn how to identify key platforms like YouTube, Substack, and Blue Sky where your audience is most engaged, and why focusing your efforts here can lead to higher interaction and better results. Personal engagement is crucial—it's not something you want to delegate!
Remember, the journey to self-publishing success is a marathon, not a sprint. By strategically planning your marketing efforts and leveraging the right tools and platforms, you can build a sustainable and impactful authorial career.
