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.
Fully updated for 2023, 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.
Buy the book directly from me and IMMEDIATELY receive the 2 hour How to Build to Six Figures Masterclass (only included if you buy the book directly from me).

If you read the original, this has been updated for 2023. There are new strategies and tactics and updates to account for the changes to the marketing landscape that have transpired since the original’s release in early 2020.
For those who want a hard copy: There will be a print version available in the future. Release date depends on how long the formatting takes, since there are a lot of images / bullet points and other things that make that job fairly complex. I’d like that to be out by the end of this year, but TBD.
BONUS
If you buy the book direct from me, you’ll receive the How to Build to Six-Figures Masterclass breaking down the lessons I've learned from working with multiple six- and seven-figure authors over the years.
This bonus is only available when you purchase the book directly from me. If you want to grab the book from Amazon or elsewhere, I'm grateful, but you will not receive the Masterclass.
Includes:
2 hour and 19 minute How to Build to Six-Figures Masterclass
How to Build to Six-Figures Summary and Action Checklist
Again: this is only included if you purchase the book directly from me. If you purchase the book elsewhere (Amazon, Apple Books etc.), I am very grateful, of course, but you won’t receive the bonus case study.
