It’s one thing to create and publish a book. It’s another to sell that book to a viable target audience.
There are more than 60,000 new self-published books being released per month in the USA. While it has never been easier than it is now to self-publish, there are lots of other people doing it.
So how do you build that all-important author platform, and even if you already have a platform, what steps should you take to be prepared and plan properly to promote your new book?
Our team of book marketing consultants will work with books published via PublishMyBook.Online or elsewhere. All you need is a book and a willingness to learn.
Book marketing action plan
What you need before you do anything is a solid book promotion plan. Marketing each book is different, just as marketing each author is different. We know better than most that there are as many different kinds of books as there are human beings on this planet. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, however our book marketing consultants have skills that transfer to just about any book.
