Many authors don’t understand that just as much effort goes into marketing their book as does writing it. Marketing has different elements that can be used a la carte.
Have you ever wondered why a celebrity who can’t write and might have trouble reading gets a big book contract? It’s because they have an author platform. Understanding what constitutes your marketing platform will help an author understand how well their marketing is doing. It is the yardstick publishers look at before offering you a contract.
Once you know where you are starting, you can craft a marketing plan to help you reach new heights.
Your marketing plan also needs a foundation that you build upon with the elements that work for you. This course will look at when to start your marketing and what goes into building the foundation.
