The Ultimate Guide to Book Marketing: Third Edition.
As the title likely suggests, this is the third edition of the Ultimate Guide to Book Marketing. What’s that, you ask?
Well, it’s a comprehensive guide to book marketing, covering everything from marketing strategy to writing a killer blurb to the Amazon algorithms, and much more. Tested over 10+ years of publishing books and working with dozens of authors.
With new strategies and tactics to account for changes to the marketing landscape.
Here are just 5 of the things you'll learn in the book's 40 chapters:
- The Ultimate Book Marketing Formula that shows you the 9 marketing areas you need to focus on (out of the thousands that you could focus on) (Chapter 2)
- The ultra-simple 3 x 3 System outlining the 3 things you need to do consistently to build a part- or full-time career in just 3 years (Chapter 8)
- Three key factors that impact whether or not your book is recommended by the Amazon Algorithms (the first one is something 99% of books and courses don't talk about) (Chapter 21)
- How to add 1,000+ quality subscribers to your list in just one month--whether you're just starting out or have been writing for years (Chapter 31)
- The Two Lever Marketing Strategy for boosting the power of your launches and promos (Chapter 33)
And much more, from how to get a cover that actually sells books (Chapter 24) to the simple formula that underpins 99% of marketing (Chapter 6). All distilled into this no-fluff 80/20 guide.
