Buzz: The Ultimate Guide to Book Marketing
by Roseanne Cheng and Dara
Beevas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Non-Fiction, Self-Improvement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Congratulations,
indie author!
You’ve
finished your book—now all that’s left is to get it out into the world.
Unfortunately, for many authors, it’s that step of the process that’s the
hardest. Marketing is seen as something to be feared, dreaded, and outsourced
as much as possible—a daunting task that will leave you drained.
But
fear not! The team at Wise Ink knows a thing or two about how to sell your
book. And they’re here to tell you everything.
Buzz
is the indie author’s ultimate guide to marketing effectively, inexpensively,
and excitingly. Within its pages, you’ll find answers to the questions on every
writer’s mind:
• What does it really mean to “market” my book?
• How do I best reach my specific audience?
• What are effective ways to promote my book via social media?
• Do I really need to be a public speaker?
In
addition to this, the Wise Ink marketing team has provided sample content
calendars, email promotions, a marketing starter kit, and more to ensure you’re
prepared to get out there and sell your book.
Marketing
doesn’t have to be a horror story! Let Buzz teach you how to take your book to
its maximum potential.

EXCERPT THREE:
I want to make an impact with my book. Where do I start?
First
of all, you rock. Impact is our favorite word at Wise Ink. We have found that
authors who see their work as something that can positively impact lives are
the ones who find the most success, both personally and professionally. The
work you did with setting your goals was the first step in this.
Of
course, the word impact carries different meanings, which is why we think it’s
wise to first define what impact means for you. Use this space to come up with
one or two sentences or bullet points that specifically address the impact
you’re hoping to make with your book(s).
For
example:
I
want schools around the country to use my series as a teaching tool in their
classrooms.
or
I
want recent college graduates to have a tool that will help them navigate
finding a job.
or
I
want my book to redefine how people view fantasy fiction and give them a
completely new reading experience.
As
you can probably imagine, the definition of impact is personal and broad, and
it is not easily measured. That shouldn’t stop you from thinking about it,
however. The impact you want to make will go hand in hand with your marketing
efforts, and if you think about your marketing work in terms of impact instead
of sales, you are bound to have a more fulfilling publishing experience.
Use
this area to think about events, articles, or other ideas that will help you
achieve your impact goals (and hopefully sell some books in the process!).
For
example:
Create
content for Teachers Pay Teachers based on the material in my book.
or
Create
a YouTube video highlighting one or two tips from my book about landing a job
after college.
or
Host
a Reddit AMA.
