| Rock Star Marketing For the Emerging Author: How to strategically market your book  |
Tell us about your
latest book.
I have currently written the book
Publishing and Publicity for Smart People and Rock Star Marketing for the
Emerging Author. I wrote these books to
solve a problem that I saw facing authors in the writing community. The problem
that I saw was that there is an overwhelming amount of information online that
shows authors how to market their books. Too much information can be as bad as
too little information.
What I decided to do was to write books
that would not overwhelm the author with information. Yet at the same time
provide a quality resource that they could use. With the goal that by the time
they finished reading my book, they would have already been marketing it. It is
formatted to use the information immediately as you are reading. That is what
makes the books unique. You can purchase the books at my website at www.bookmarketingprofessionals.com.
They are available on Amazon and other distribution networks.
What formats is the
book available in?
They
are available in both e-book and print.
Many people prefer the e-book because it has lots of live links.
What advice do you
have for other writers?
The
biggest advice that I have for writers is not to quit. It is so easy to become frustrated with the
book marketing process. You have to be
resolute and determined if you are going to make it professionally in the book
business. There are a lot of rewards
that will be associated with sticking with a writing career. If you have ever had the goal of personal
freedom it can create that path for you but it is not an easy road.
What's your
favourite quote about writing/for writers?
My
favorite quote is do not despise small beginnings. This quote is from the Bible and it has been
a great aide to my life. When you
realize the power of small things you will gain the ability to endure. You must have a strong mind and determined
spirit to become a professional writer.
The reason why small beginnings are so powerful is because they
accumulate, resulting in something that becomes huge. There is much power in just the number
one. That first book sell let’s you know
that there is certainly a market for your book.
If you can sell one, you can sell one million.
What's the best
thing about being a writer?
The
best thing about being a writer is that it will give you the ability to create
the life that you want for yourself.
Where can people
find out more about you and your writing?
People
can learn more about me at my website at www.bookmarketingprofessionals.com
or they can contact me at info@bookmarketingprofessionals.com.
Why
do you think readers are going to enjoy your book?
I think readers will enjoy my books because
they contain solid information without all the stuff and fluff. I think people
should buy my books because they will help them to create income. It will show
them a direct path for book marketing. It will help them to avoid pitfalls
within the book industry. It will also provide long term tools and resources
they can use for the life of their book marketing experience.
The people who should buy my books are
writers just starting their journey. It would help independent authors that
have books in place but do not know how to market a book and have little
understanding of the book industry. It would also be a good resource for
seasoned writers to provide more ideas on how to create income for their books.
The books are resource tools for any writer.

This
is the best time for self-publishing authors. The doors have been swung open
for you to succeed. All you need to do
is to learn the craft and be determined to sell books. If you have written a good book and connect
to an audience it will sell. Prior to
this period in time traditional publishers were the gatekeepers in terms of the
public’s creative writing voice. That
barrier has been removed. Learn how to
create your own professional product and sell it.

you’re not writing, how do you spend your time?

shop for authors writing, publishing and marketing needs. We love helping people not only with their
book business development but personalized coaching. The type of work that I do
