Martin Taylor – Marketer

I provide self-publishers with a marketing-focused publishing service for their print and ebook editions, from manuscript to publication. The best time to hire me is before you start because marketing strategy should drive your publishing choices, not be an after-thought when the book is delivered. That strategy needs to start at the end goal — how you will sell your book — then work back from there to make sure each component plays its part.

Among the things I can help you with are:
* book descriptions and metadata
* cover design briefs and advice
* optimised Amazon sales pages
* advance review programs
* author websites and SEO
* Facebook pages and Goodreads author pages
* social media, email marketing, giveaways
* Facebook and Amazon advertising
* listings in essential industry databases
* and other key marketing tools with proven value.

I avoid methods that aren't proven so you only spend your money where the top-performing authors spend theirs. I can also optimise your printed edition for worldwide print-on-demand sales, ensuring that you have wide availability and optimised metadata for both your ebook and print editions.

Because I'm both an online book marketer and a publisher, I can make sure every step contributes to selling books. In fact, I've written the course on digital publishing and marketing for books (DigitalPublishing101.com). That solid experience, marketing-focused advice throughout the publishing process, and expert, hands-on technology skills when they are needed, will ensure you get the best practical support for your publishing project and the best chance of success.
