When first-time self-published authors plan their book marketing campaigns, a surprising number overlook their friends, family, and professional networks. The most potent form of book promotion is still word of mouth; you need to get people talking. People who know you will more readily lend a hand, and they are qualified to speak about you. Their endorsements and stories about you can spark other people’s interest. As a result, ensuring you let people know about your book launch is an excellent idea. You’ll be pleased and surprised by how many people will help and the ideas they’ll have for you.
Veteran publicists are talking about “author’s platforms,” and one essential part of them is your email list. You can include your email contacts in your newsletter mailings and announcements about your book. It’s also routine to take things further and request some people forward your information to their lists. Not everyone may pitch in, but the ones who do will make a difference. Bok sales after launch matter because algorithms begin recommending books that sell. Therefore, you want to spark some initial sales to become recommended and seen as trending. When you do, you have a better chance of more sales.
Some authors share copies or downloads of their books with friends, family, and valued colleagues. It’s one way to get people reading your book, and if they post reviews and comments online, it’s a good word-of-mouth endorsement. It’s also advisable to begin contacting people before the publication date. Simple, brief communication that’s compelling is best. It’s always better to spark people’s curiosity rather than overwhelm them. Some books are more suited to this type of personal promotion than others, but there is potential for any book. Your email contact list is one of your best promotional assets.
Business colleagues, past and present, are also excellent people to help. If your book is on a topic where you share an interest with them, it’s natural for them to assist. Writing books can bring substantial business promotion opportunities, and people may respond with interest. Even if you work with a publicist or marketer, making the approach yourself will help. People respond most to others they know, and your relationships with them will open doors. Think of the process as an expanding circle that begins small and widens over time. Your network becomes the first group to receive the message.
