Competition in the bookselling marketplace is more challenging than ever before as more people write books and become authors. The most effective book marketing pros approach everything with a plan because they know success doesn’t happen randomly. Your target readers have many choices in books and other media. It means connecting with them takes ingenuity and an organized approach. “Discoverability” is a cornerstone of book marketing because people can’t buy and read what they don’t know about. Getting your book talked about in the right places is vital to sparking sales and making it successful.
Book buyers often browse online booksellers, and you must do well with their algorithms. Like everything else online, they are about user experience, and many factors figure in. Selling well is the most potent form of algorithm enticement, but you can also help yourself in other ways, such as optimizing your book and author pages. When you’re given opportunities to provide promotional content (words, images, videos), could you take full advantage of them? If you provide only limited information about your book when other authors offer more, it’s obvious who will do better online.
Reaching new audiences is one of the most valuable things when promoting your book. But where to find them? One way is to write articles for the media and guest posts for blogs. Selecting them with your target readers in mind is an excellent way to branch out beyond your social media following. When you write an article or blog post as a guest, there’s always a brief bio section at the end. You can tactfully mention you are an author and list your book’s name. If someone has read and enjoyed your article, there’s a good chance they may be interested in your book. You have a new fan instantly.
With the coronavirus pandemic in the rearview mirror, authors have begun touring again to promote their books. You can have a publicist arrange a traditional media tour or go in person, or you can make virtual appearances. Appearing online is now universally more accepted than it was pre-pandemic. It increases the number of tour stops you can make in any period and allows you to be in many places on the same day. Online book tours can also be international with no increase in cost or the time involved. You can appear from the comfort of your home or office anytime.
