Here at Publetariat we rarely promote author services or training programs, because frankly, there are too many charlatans out there to keep track of them all and we would never want to be responsible for putting our readership in harm’s way. However, regular Publetariat Contributor Dana Lynn Smith, also known as The Savvy Book Marketer, has been providing quality tips and advice here on Publetariat for nearly five years now, she really knows her stuff, and she’s got some great new marketing training programs that can help any author, indie or mainstream-published, increase book sales. Best of all, they’re all very affordable.
One of the most common questions authors ask is “how can I sell more books?” I’ll be honest with you – there’s no magic bullet. Book selling success comes from creating a good book that people want to read, developing an effective book marketing plan to reach the right target markets for that book, and putting the plan into action.
A good book marketing plan includes a series of strategic promotional activities that build success over time.Think of it as a blueprint to guide you along the way – no more drifting along, wondering what to do next, or feeling overwhelmed by your options.
But where do you start and how do you develop an effective book marketing strategy for the type of book that you write? These new training programs are designed to get you up to speed quickly in the best ways to sell specific types of books. Now is the time to get started developing an effective book marketing strategy, so you can move forward in selling more books!
