Trick Question<\/h2>\n

Everyone wants everyone to know about their book. But, the bigger question is, what’s the best book publicity strategy\u00a0to get the word out?<\/p>\n

Authors have worked tremendously long hours writing their books that showcase their passion, knowledge, experience, education, credentials and wisdom. But with so many print on demand books published over the last few years, how do authors get a jump start on their promotion?<\/p>\n

You get BOOK PUBLICITY<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

You get booked on media that is a good match for your topic (this is called preaching to the choir) and you talk about the themes in your book that can help people. You never know what you will say that will trigger a MUST BUY THIS BOOK in your audience.<\/p>\n

It’s a classic belief that people will buy from someone they have gotten to know and respect, making it a key PR strategy to get out in front of your audience with your messaging. Let them see you. Let them hear you. Let them buy from you because you resonate with them.<\/p>\n

How do you get book promotion and author publicity?<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

There are many ways to get book publicity that include traditional media outlets as well and online media\u00a0and of course, social media.<\/p>\n

How does an author get started with their\u00a0book publicity?<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

The hunt is on. What PR firm can deliver the outcomes you want for yourself. And you might not even know what outcomes you do want. I can tell you this. Most authors want exposure. They want outreach. They want the chance to share their message, impact change and help others. That’s all. And they want a good price with guaranteed deliverables (that’s when what the publicist promises is in the contract).<\/p>\n

Finding a good author PR and book publicist<\/a> can be tricky – there are just so many!<\/h3>\n

Beware of the pop up publicists. The one that buys a list and pops up out of nowhere. Do they have the connections?<\/p>\n

Word of mouth is better. Asking key questions of others such as what did you get for your money? Also, when evaluating a publicist look for a rich history or success in producing actual media bookings, not just fancy proposals about how much they will “try” for you. The good ones showcase their former clients’ success, their media testimonials and proof of concept. Of course, being in business for a while certainly is a factor as relationships with the media are not built overnight, but over years of working together and earning the respect of the media.<\/p>\n

Do publicists specialize in book publicity?<\/h3>\n

Yes. But what kind of publicity do you want? The passive type of publicity where you pay for a perhaps a press release distribution and nothing much happens or \u00a0active PR where your publicist is actively pitching you to the media according to the strategy that you discussed with your Book Marketing and PR firm<\/a> in advance?<\/p>\n
