BOOK MARKETING STRATEGY
Without an easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan, marketing your book can seem overwhelming. You might wonder where to start and what steps you should take to try and achieve success.
With my help, we can work together to get you on the right track so that you can easily reach your target audience using the most efficient methods and the most effective means.
With my book marketing strategy there to guide you, what once seemed complicated will now be a cinch as you follow the steps that I lay out for you to follow.
METADATA OPTIMIZATION
All too often authors overlook one of the most important parts of the marketing equation by glossing over the keywords that they enter when submitting a book for publication.
Unfortunately, this failure to fully optimize their book's details is almost certainly costing these authors sales, and they probably don’t even realize it.
That is where I can help. With my background in publishing and technology, I understand the steps that need to be followed to optimize your book’s bibliographic metadata.
BOOK DESCRIPTION WRITING
Without an eye-catching description you could be losing out on potential sales. But, with my assistance, you can instead tempt readers with a winning description.
I have written a wide selection of nonfiction and fiction descriptions and I am eager to bring my expertise to your book as we work together to craft a book blurb capable of compelling shoppers to click the Buy button.
AMAZON A+ CONTENT
Because A+ Content is so beneficial at providing yet another conversion opportunity, I will use my marketing expertise and design skills to create a selection of A+ Content that you can publish to your book's page as you endeavor to spur sales.
