How to launch a book! Quick top tips
I am no expert, and I am still learning, but boy, I have learnt a lot. Here are my quick tips to what I did.
- Plan 6 months before you launch it
- Get your social media sites up and running - author pages on facebook, instragram, twitter etc
- Create and publish an author website and consider a mailing list
- Join as many online writing groups as possible
- Get people to read your book prior to launch and get them to review on launch day and past this
- Post your book on groups to find potential readership and send free copies to people wanting to review - I used book funnel to do this
-Post interesting posts on your pages, to build up a readership interested in you (this is the hardest part)
-Do cover reveals on your social media sites
-Talk about your book at every opportunity - act like you know what you are doing and never dumb it down
-Buy your ISBNs and get them registered to your books
-Upload to publishing site - kindle direct publishing for example
-Do a pre order launch for e book to generate excitement
- Research appropriate keywords to help people find your book on your selling platform and apply to publishing site
- Make book promos and post like crazy to everyone you know
Release book!
In later posts I will expand on the above and how I went through each step in detail!
