Ready, set, launch your book! đź“š
Writing a book is an exciting feat - there’s no doubt about that! Congratulate yourself for the amazing task you have accomplished and get ready for the next steps in the publishing process.
Outside of writing, one of the most important aspects to throw your energy into is marketing your book. Here are three important steps that will help you get ready to launch your book:
Create a timeline. Your publishing team will work with you to set a publishing release date for your book and then work backwards from that date to create your timeline of marketing “to-do’s.” This includes scheduling important email blasts and social media posts. We love timelines because they give us goals to hit when marketing a book.
Create your email list. This is your list of supporters. The people who are excited to celebrate you and your newest accomplishment. The people who are going to buy your book on release day. And, even more so, they’re going to turn around and tell more people about your book. These are the people you need in the know.
Gather your list of behind-the-scenes story moments. Transparency. Connection. Inspiration. Sharing how you created your book is not only a great strategy for creating hype for your book, but also for creating hype around you as an author. The more hype that you can create, the more people you will have in your corner ready to buy your book on release day!
Launching a book is just as important as writing the book. We believe in every book that passes through CG Sports Publishing and want the marketing process to be both fun and successful!
