How to Promote and Market Your Book by Madi Preda – Review

~ John W. Howell

 

 

Madi Preda is the genius behind Author’s Promotion a firm which has helped countless authors with not only book promotion, but also in planning and the execution of complete book marketing plans. This book was written for those of us who do not have unlimited resources to spend on getting our name and our book’s name in front of readers. Madi has put together a comprehensive guide-book to follow to success. She has done so with easy to understand instructions on what steps are necessary to maximize the author’s exposure.

Madi begins by setting the tone for what will be a recurring theme for an author. The theme is if all you want to do is write and not try to sell your work, you’ll get what you deserve, nothing. She tells a story about what would happen to a baker who only wanted to bake and not sell. This parable really hit me between the eyes. I could not imagine anyone who doesn’t want to push their product, yet authors appear to be unique in this regard.

Madi lays out her book for maximum utility. She has chapters written on how to do subjects like book proposals, public relations, marketing, PR, Network and social media, selling more books, video trailers, book tours, blogging, newsletters, book distributors, websites, media press kits and many more.

In addition, Madi provides practical information in the form of case studies, examples and toward the end of the book a section on resources which puts valuable places to go for an author to announce a book and to continue to raise awareness. These resources are many that are not generally well-known.

This book was very informative and a fun read in addition. I would recommend it to any author who is not content with how their book is selling presently in addition to the unpublished and soon to be published authors. If an author utilized just part of the information in this book, I believe the author would be benefitted immensely by increased sales. It is a must read for anyone who thinks being an author is merely writing a book.

The most powerful way to market your book

Word of mouth is the best way to amplify your efforts and create interest about your work and it’s free.

All you need for word of mouth marketing is a good book, worthy of sharing, and a strategy to get it into the hands of the right people who will spread the word for you. It sounds simple but is not that easy and requires some time, efforts, and determination.

The best time to design to draw your marketing plan is before you  finished writing your book; draw your audience as you write your book by creating buzz, pos excerpts and generate engagement by asking what one of the characters should do next, guess who is the bad guy or anything else you can think of. When it’s launching time, you’ll already have an audience waiting.

The next step is to get your work noticed and shared by as many people you can get, offer free copies for reviews, write guest posts sharing your writing experience and do interviews.

Focus more on letting people know about your book rather than selling.

There is not a secret that not every strategy will work for every author, so choose what makes sense, adapt to your specific work, and try to come up with some of your own marketing ideas.

Promote and Market

  1. Create a marketing plan and get creative.
  2. Tell your author story and find a hook to keep your audience interested.
  3. Build and develop your email list.
  4. Don’t write only about the book itself but link your articles to trending topics related to your book topic..
  5. If it is possible time the announcement of your new book with an important news event, trade show, movie, a humanitarian campaign, a sports competition.
  6. Tempt your readers with more news about your next book if it is part of a series; you can insert a chapter, a new character description or a new setting at the end of the current book to make the reader follow you.
  7. Add contact author’s details at the end of each of your books and the titles of previously published books.
  8. Promote other authors by having them as guests on your blog, interview them or organize a common event such as the (your genre) weekly debate – on the topic of your book or simply about the writing process of that genre.
  9. Schedule social media. Put every day in your author schedule at least 15 minutes for promotion.(a post on
  10. Nobody can reinvent the wheel, but authors have a huge imagination so surely they will find original ideas and new avenues to bring their work in front of readers.
