5 Tips to Make Your Book A Success

Want to know something amazing?  Over 4 million books were published in the U.S. alone during 2019.  That is an outstanding number of people who believed the message in their heart had to be shared.  And personally, I couldn’t agree more! 

But that can also feel a little scary.  With so many books, how can you stand out in 2021 and beyond?  Not knowing the answer to this question causes some people to hold their message in, instead of “Writing It Out.”

As your Book Coach, I believe in big leaps.  So, here's 5 quick marketing tips to make your book stand out, whether you are still in “idea-mode”, or the pages are piling up in your laptop!  Ready?

 5 Marketing Tips To Do While You Are Still Writing Your Book

1. Research to find a gap in current books on the market. Where does your voice stand out instead of blend in?

2. Decide the audience that needs your message and connect with them as often as possible.

3. Start an email list. Reach out to your list regularly and increase the awareness so they know that you have a solution to a common problem

4. As you begin to write, create buzz for your idea by talking about it with people you respect and who will support you. When people speak back or question your topic and approach, this will give you great insight on what you can include or exclude from your book.

5. Seek out places to chat publicly about your upcoming book. Yes, you can do this in the beginning stages of your book.  In fact, many authors pre-announce and even pre-sell their books well before they are complete!

Why not take a few minutes this week and review this checklist.  You just might be ready for a big leap!
