Alessandra Torre is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, who also founded one of the most successful online conferences for fiction authors, INKERSCON. We talk about her journey and the conference.

Some author conferences are incredible. If you caught my recap of Inkers Con 2023, you already know this was an EPIC conference. But what's great is that they have an even bigger digital conference! So, if you've been wondering which author conferences are worth it, or if a digital conference like Inkers Con could be amazing, you're going to love this interview! In today's podcast episode, I'm speaking with Alessandra Torre about the Inkers Con Digital experience, which starts July 22nd, 2023! Have a listen! Be sure to check out the show notes by going to https://authorrevolution.org/192.

This year has been an epic one as an author. Within a month, I've had the privilege of speaking at not one--but TWO incredible conferences! In today's podcast episode, I'm recapping what went on at the 2023 Inkers Con in Dallas, Texas June 9-11th, 2023.

In our conversation with NYT bestseller Alessandra Torre, we talk about launching into indie publishing in 2012 as a romance author and how her early success enabled her to quit her job to write full time. As a hybrid author, Torre has had huge success in both the indie and traditional publishing spaces. But more recently, she has made strategic business decisions about the kinds of novels she wants to write and who she wants to publish through, to attempt to amplify her success and reach new levels. In addition to her writing, Torre is the founder of Inkers Con, so we talk about why this project and connect with other authors has been important enough to take time away from writing.If you want to listen to other hugely successful suspense authors, check out our past interviews with Robert Dugoni (Ep. 18), Georgina Cross (Ep. 14), and Robert Bailey (Ep. 27).Alessandra Torre's website: https://www.alessandratorre.comInkers Con Author Conference website: https://www.inkerscon.com/Barbara Hinske's website: https://barbarahinske.com/J.

In today's episode, we're excited to have returning guest, Inkers Con co-founder, and New York Times bestselling author Alessandra Torre share her expertise on Goodreads – the often-overlooked social media platform built specifically for books. While most authors may not see Goodreads as a key player like Twitter or Facebook, it's actually the best place for authors to connect with readers. With no other distractions or reasons to spend time there, Goodreads provides a unique space for authors to connect with their audience.    As Alessandra explains, the Goodreads platform can connect authors to both existing fans and new readers by allowing people to follow you, get notifications about activity related to your books, and even get emails announcing your new releases. All of this is free, although Alessandra also goes over some of the paid options and their worth, such as hosting giveaways.    But regardless of how you decide to use it, the Goodreads algorithm doesn't limit your reach based on how much you spend, which is yet another advantage it has over the other social sites. The best part is, all of this can be achieved through less than an hour a month spent on the site, which means there really is no excuse for continuing to overlook this valuable social media platform. If you do, you're missing out on a powerful tool that could help you reach and stay connected to a wider audience of fans.  Alessandra Torre https://www.alessandratorre.com/     Hidden Gems Need our help publishing or marketing your book?  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/author-services/   All episode details and links:  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/podcast

Alessandra Torre, CEO of Authors A.I. and BingeBooks and a NY Times bestselling Psychological Thriller and Romance author, joins Joshua to talk about various strategies independent authors utilize when marketing and selling their books, and how publishers can take advantage of these strategies. Alessandra's suggestions cover a wide range of topics. Being flexible in pricing, testing new prices periodically, and setting affordable ebook prices can be a great way to see what price the market will bear for specific products. Cover reveals can be a great opportunity to get the word out about a new title, and sometimes the author can be a herald for that reveal event. Authors can also be helpful in getting upcoming books into the hands of blogger, influencers, and reviewers (for example, by using the widgets available in NetGalley). Also, an update to a backlist title's cover image has the potential to give older titles new life and keep them relevant to readers for many years to come. While some publishers have a dedicated team working on their backlist, no single publisher is able to completely manage every title. ------------------ Are you lacking access to the full picture when it comes to monitoring your titles?
