5 Book Marketing Musts Everyone Should Know

Are you tired of struggling to market your book and not seeing the results you want? As a successful author of three published books being sold worldwide, I have learned a few key strategies when it comes to marketing my books. These strategies have helped me sell over 2 million copies in just two years, and I want to share them with you. Here’s how I did it:

Generosity Marketing
I have found that giving away thousands of copies of my books has helped me sell millions. Think of it like a restaurant offering a free dinner night to train their staff, or a store like Costco or Sam’s Club giving out free samples. Every person who receives a free product becomes a spokesperson, helping to create buzz and interest. I am convinced Generosity Marketing is the #1 reason I have now sold over 2 million copies in less than 2 years.

Grow and Use Your Email List
Building and regularly using an email list is crucial to the success of my book launches. I include everyone I personally know, as well as relevant leaders and media outlets. I also offer a daily email subscription called Generously Blessed, which includes something about one of my books in every message.

Never Stop Collecting Reviews 
I use my email list, social media, and generosity marketing to invite readers to take a free copy of my book in exchange for a 5-star review. I also lowered the price of my ebook to 99 cents in order to collect reviews from readers’ clubs like Goodreads.

Talk About Your Book Everywhere
Three months after each launch, I stop hard selling my books and instead focus on talking about their content. I mention my books in my podcast shows, emails, live broadcasts, and any other opportunity I have to discuss them.

Use Paid Ads on Amazon
Unless you are a well-known author, it can be difficult to sell your books on Amazon without some paid promotion. Within 90 days, you should be able to achieve a positive return on investment, where you make more in royalties than you spend on ads. I have found that it’s best to use an expert in Amazon ads to help with this process, as it can be easy to spend a lot of money if you’re not careful.
