Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wordpress-seo domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Raise your hand if you really want to stop thinking about book marketing and just write your next book.<\/p>\n

Without even seeing you, I know that many (if not most) authors reading this have their hands up. You could\u00a0be suffering from book marketing overwhelm.<\/p>\n

Even novice authors discover quickly that it’s not enough to just write a book. If you\u00a0want people to read it, those readers\u00a0have to know about it. Getting your book title in front of the right people<\/a> takes time, knowledge, and effort.<\/p>\n

You have to . . .<\/h3>\n

You have to be using social media effectively.<\/p>\n

You need publicity <\/a>— free exposure in the news media.<\/p>\n

You need to plan and execute a virtual book tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You need reader reviews<\/a>. And then more reader reviews.<\/p>\n

You need to be a podcaster.<\/p>\n

You need to be a blogger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And this is just a start. There’s so much you “need” to do to promote your book.<\/p>\n

Or is there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you really need to be doing all of this? Do you need to do any of it? Can you just do some of it?<\/p>\n

Pick just one<\/h3>\n

\"book<\/a>Here’s an unexpected\u00a0idea: How about picking just one tactic and mastering it?<\/p>\n

Let’s be honest. You don’t have time to do all of this. You might have a full-time job or personal responsibilities that barely leave you enough time for writing, let alone book marketing.<\/p>\n

So give yourself permission to spend a little time upfront learning which tactic appears to be a good fit for:<\/p>\n
