Then, while he was still moving there, his truck was found abandoned in the middle of the road, still running, in the 40 miles away from the nearest town. The investigation into Don's disappearance brought more questions than answers. Strange sightings and even stranger phone calls began happening.

Wie funktioniert Buchmarketing im Jahr 2021? Welche Marketingstrategien sind antiquiert und was bringt deine Buchverkäufe tatsächlich voran?   Niemand verkauft auf Seite 2 der Suchergebnisse von Amazon, der Algorithmus selektiert dafür einfach mittlerweile zu gut.   Zunächst mal muss man Amazon SEO betreiben. Also es müssen alle Faktoren in deinem Listing passen und verkaufsfördernd sein (Texte, Cover, Rezensionen etc.).   Die nächste Marketingmöglichkeit um vor allem am Anfang das Listing nach oben zu bekommen ist Amazon Advertising. Kindle Select wäre eine weitere von Amazon selbst angebotene Marketingmaßnahme, die aber vor allem für E-Books interessant ist.   Externe Marketingmöglichkeiten machen am Anfang nur Sinn, wenn sie schnell Sichtbarkeit generieren.

140 - A Simple Book Launch Framework

Create If Writing

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 19, 2018 19:38


Writers all struggle with different parts of the craft. Some struggle with the start, while others get stuck in the middle, and many find editing to be a challenge. But one shared struggle for most writers I talk with is the actual book launch. Book launching brings to mind the idea of marketing and promotion and publishing, whether you are working alongside a traditional publisher or you are an indie author. I'm going to share a simple book launch formula here geared more towards indie authors. But if you are working with a traditional publisher, these principles can still work for you! You simply might have other help or confines to work within.   I'm calling this a framework not a formula or a step-by-step guide because I like the loose structure of a framework. I definitely am a do-what-works-for-you person, so within a larger structural framework, you have freedom to try many different strategies. This is meant  to help you understand the bigger umbrella of a book launch so that you can shift the smaller, moving pieces in ways that work for you and your book. A SIMPLE BOOK LAUNCH FRAMEWORK When I say "simple," what I mean really is that I'm breaking this down into the simplest overarching things you need for a launch. I'll be following up in detail with later posts, but for now, the goal is to avoid overwhelm. SIMPLE. Got it? Let's go.  Three Stages of Your Launch Timeline 1. Pre-launch - writing the book, editing, proofing, formatting, cover design, platform-building 2. Launch - three kinds of promo (more on that next week). Telling your audience, having others tell their audiences, and then paying people to tell people 3. Post-launch - keeping your book afloat, more evergreen strategies on your site, guest posting, AMS ads, continuing to do the launch-type promo paying or emailing, etc That doesn't sound so bad...right? Let's take each piece and break it down a bit more. Again, this is about the framework, so I'm not going to go into a lot of detail on how to do a lot of these things. Before you get to the details, I want you to have the mindset.  PRELAUNCH Goal: Prepare the product, building your platform Actions: In this section of your launch, you'll be preparing your product. You'll write and polish your book, get the editing and proofing, formatting, and cover. All the things you need to be ready for launch. You'll also be building your platform so that you have an audience to launch TO. I would primarily recommend growing your email list or a Facebook group. But if you have engagement on a social platform (people like, comment, click through, share), then definitely utilize that!  LAUNCH Goal: Get the message out about your book, make sales Actions: This is the most obvious section, but there are many ways to handle the actual launch! I'm trying a slow launch method where I don't really make a big deal about my book until it's been out for a few days, then I stagger promotional efforts to keep a steady rise. You might go for a big explosion on one day.  The big thing to note is that there are only three basic kinds of promotion: you telling your audience, getting other people to tell their audience, and paid promotions and advertisements.  POST-LAUNCH  Goal: Keep your book from gathering digital dust Actions: Books typically don't just sell and keep selling. You have to continue to drive traffic. This can look like continued ads, writing blog posts related to your book and linking in the blog posts (you also have to then promote the blog posts!), setting up other paid promotions, reminding your readers, and other actions that you did in the launch stage.  If you're using Kindle Select, you get a free promo or Kindle Countdown every 90 days. Now that I have a backlist of books, I try to set up one extra promo a month, in addition to launching a new book. So I'm doing all three of these levels every month. THAT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU. I write rapidly. Find the balance, but don't forget to give your books love after they launch. Usually they will not keep selling if you don't.  I hope that you are finishing this post feeling a sense of peace. Book launching (or just launching!) doesn't HAVE to be overwhelming. Yes, there are lots of little details within this big framework. But understanding the overarching ideas and the big picture can help you see just how doable this is! You've got this.  We'll keep moving forward in this series, going a little bit deeper each time. Next up: more on promotions!

Free Books on Amazon Free Books and Amazon I started a page on this blog called Free Books and, needless to say, it is very popular, receiving well over three hundred views a day. 'Free' is an extremely powerful word, so that is not surprising in itself. What does surprise many people is Amazon's attitude towards free books. In fact, free books on Amazon are frowned upon by the giant on-line retailer, and what many bloggers don't know is that they can lose their monthly earnings if their ratio of free book give-aways to sold books is too high, and they can lose their account if it happens too often. A blogger must consistently sell more books than he or she gives away or face the consequences. I recently started a free book page, as I said above, but I was concerned about how far I could go, and I now realise that that is not far, however, there is a way around it, which I will explain below to those who can stick with me. There is an option to authors publishing their books on Kindle to give them the exclusive publishing rights to your ebook and enroll it in Kindle Select. Readers pay a monthly fee for membership to Kindle Select, and that confers upon them the right to read books for free - or at least those books that authors have put into Kindle Select. Therefore, a blogger can offer free books on Amazon on his website, if the books are in Kindle Select, but they will only be free to Kindle Select subscribers. Right now, you may be thinking that this is another spiral downwards in the earnings of blog- and website-owners, but there is one salvation. If the free books that you are offering/promoting are interesting enough to make non-Kindle Select subscribers want to join up, Amazon is willing to pay the blogger $3 for giving away a free one-month trial subscription to Kindle Select. This makes the whole process of selling books on-line even more convoluted, of course, but it is the only way that I have figured out of making money out of the powerful word 'free' in the context of free books on Amazon and not running foul of their rules.

We were both pushed to start putting out resources when we found a lack of “what does it really look like” information out there for writers who are also parents. She started a Facebook group Indie Author Life and well as lots of great blogs posts. She’s also doing other things like ghostwriting and consulting. We talk about how so many self-published authors “can’t do just one thing,” and why that’s both a good idea and how moms are already really good at that. There’s also a secret fun fact about Katie at the end of the interview, to reward you for getting to the end of this slightly longer than usual interview. We talked about a million different things, but here’s a rundown of the main topics: How far along she was in her indie career when she had her son Her maternity leave and how she set her expectations for what her writer mom life would look like after The lack of resources and information that pushed her to create her own (Join her Facebook Group Indie Author Life here!) What her writer mom life looks like most days Some random parenting musings that have nothing to do with writing but include great gems like “My job is not to entertain him all the time” and “I’m not failing if he’s not happy all the time” Why diversification in your income stream is important Why parents are in a great position to self-publish already Secret fun fact about Katie (one word hint: moose)   In the tips section, JR talks about diversification, including explaining what “going wide” versus Kindle Select means (though you are the only one who knows what is best for you!)
