Summary

Do you hate marketing your book?

Are you daunted by the task? Don't know where to start? Tired of hearing ALL the marketing you have to do to be a "real" author?

Stop right here。

You want to just write books。 But you also want to sell books, quit your cube job, and be a full-time author。

To do that, you absolutely must--no-way-around-it--market your book。

But not the way you've been told。

In this book, you will learn Why you need to be on social media Who your reader really is What an author platform is and how to build it How to create compelling social media content Which outlets and content work for you and which don't How to plan your content and use a scheduler
All of this to give you back more time in your day for writing。 And you'll sell more books too。

Jennifer Lovett Herbranson has been a communicator, marketer, teacher, and public relations professional since 2001。 She has been quoted by top-tier media like the New York Times, CNN, FoxNews, NPR and Time Magazine。 She has facilitated research opportunities for writers, professors, documentary filmmakers, and members of Congress。 Since 2012, she has dedicated herself to learning, researching and testing book marketing methods and helped countless authors reexamine their efforts and become more successful。

Consider these basic book marketing truths revealed in this book: You do not have to be on every social media outlet。 You do not have to post every single minute of every day。 You need a plan。 Plans create efficiency。 And effective plans grow your readership and give you time back in your day。
Stop throwing spaghetti against the wall and wondering why nothing sticks。 Let's get focused and develop your social media presence to build followers and turn them into readers。

Social media is one strategy for book marketing, and this is the first book in the "For Writers Who Just Want to Write Series。" Check out the rest, coming in 2019 and 2020 (on ads, email marketing, and more)。

If you're like me, and know absolutely nothing about most social media platforms, and don't even like most social media platforms, this is a good place to start。 The author makes the idea of starting less scary, as it's filled to the brim with suggestions and ideas on how to get started, and she does it all in an easy, conversational style, taking away the seriousness of branding out and actually makes it sound fun。 If you're like me, and know absolutely nothing about most social media platforms, and don't even like most social media platforms, this is a good place to start。 The author makes the idea of starting less scary, as it's filled to the brim with suggestions and ideas on how to get started, and she does it all in an easy, conversational style, taking away the seriousness of branding out and actually makes it sound fun。 。。。more

FINALLY, FINALLY, something clicked in my brain。 I have taken workshops, gotten professional advice, you name it。 Nothing about using social media ever clicked。 It always seemed overwhelming, self-gratuitous, and a useless, ginormous waste of time。 As you can see, I have had some pretty strong feelings about it。。。which is why my gratitude for this book is such a momentous occasion!! I finally had that click! I have a plan and I not only feel motivated about it, I am EXCITED about it。 It feels li FINALLY, FINALLY, something clicked in my brain。 I have taken workshops, gotten professional advice, you name it。 Nothing about using social media ever clicked。 It always seemed overwhelming, self-gratuitous, and a useless, ginormous waste of time。 As you can see, I have had some pretty strong feelings about it。。。which is why my gratitude for this book is such a momentous occasion!! I finally had that click! I have a plan and I not only feel motivated about it, I am EXCITED about it。 It feels like something I want to do and I am excited to do instead of something I HAVE to do。 Like a lot of other writers, writing is not my 'main gig' and certainly not the way I feed myself, but the best part of this book is that even though it is written for authors/writers, it is applicable to any industry as far as I can tell。 Anyone who runs their own business can benefit from this little gem!!! 。。。more
