Email Marketing Resources
No matter how you publish, you’ll need to be involved with marketing your own brand and books. How much you do yourself or delegate to the pros is totally up to you. In any case, approach marketing as distinct steps to make it more manageable so you can avoid sacrificing valuable writing time.
Here are the four basic steps to branding and product marketing for authors:
We send out the 411 on books and authors almost daily, certainly weekly, and all adding up to a well-rounded month of book recommendations for our subscribers and social media fans. An Author Page ensures that your entire library is presented to potential buyers. Your name will appear in alphabetical order in the Authors You Should Be Reading section of the site that is accessed through the menu across the top of all the site’s pages, but we promote your Author Page's unique URL for one month.
This ad type increases your marketing reach and SEO value for all your titles indefinitely because your author page is not taken down after the paid ad period ends and we always advertise the list of Authors You Should Be Reading. Your name will be clickable to a customized page that shows off all your titles and links for connecting with your website and on social media. Cover images and Buy Now call to actions will link to your titles' individual Amazon sales pages.
This ad type comes with advertising via email marketing, Twitter, and Facebook to alert our followers about the Authors You Should Be Reading list on an ongoing, open-ended period indefinitely.
Author pages are $25
Revisions/additions to the page are $15 per.
