The first 30 days your book is for sale sets the tone for the lifetime of your book. Many physical stores stock new releases for less than 90 days. If they don’t sell, they return them to the publisher. If they sell out, the bookstores order more. Without a good launch, a book can die before it ever gets a chance to get readers. Don’t let that happen to you!
With more than 3,000 new books published every week, it is easy for your book to get lost in the noise. One of the best ways to break through is with an effective book-launch campaign.
But how do you launch a book? What is a book launch? Isn’t that the publisher’s job?
That is what Thomas Umstattd and I will talk about in a free webinar this Thursday, March 18, at 4 p.m. (central time). He will reveal several secrets about successful book launches, as well as share some tips on how you can have a solid launch with yours. Register, so we can send you a reminder before it begins. Sign up now.
The first hour will be Thomas’s presentation, then I will join him to answer your questions.
Hopefully, you’ll want to dig deeper and sign up for his 28-day Book Launch Blueprint course, co-taught with Jim Rubart. The price of that course includes $485 worth of free resources. To find out more, click this Book Launch Blueprint Course link. Invest in the information you need to successfully launch your book. I heartily recommend it.
I invite you to join us this Thursday. Register now, take the poll, post your questions, then come back and vote on the questions others have asked. During the second hour, we will answer the questions related to launching a book that have the most votes.
If you cannot attend live, the webinar will be recorded and available, for free, to all who have registered.
Make this your Spring 2020 writers conference, focusing on what you can do from the comfort of your own home.
I highly recommend the Book launch Blueprint course. It’s a sound investment for any author preparing to launch a book in a crowded market.
I tried to sign up but all the links lead me to a crowdsource site, no mention of this. What do I need to know? Thanks!
Pat,
It’s a CrowdCast (not crowdsource) site. It’s like Zoom but allows us to take questions.
It’s safe. We’ve used it for our webinars many times. It’s actually supposed to be more secure than Zoom. Although, in Zoom’s defense they improved their security a lot in the last year.
Will it be recorded? I have a prior commitment at that time
Naomi,
Yes. In the post above I wrote, “If you cannot attend live, the webinar will be recorded and available, for free, to all who have registered.”
Thank you for offering this! I will be there!
I wish I had a book to set
upon its hopeful course,
but what the heck, you can bet
I’ll be there at the source
of book-launch wisdom offered here;
this offer’s really fine,
but it’s sadly all to clear
that it won’t be in real time,
for the winds of spring have come,
and Internet gets weak,
and though this makes me kinda glum,
the picture is not bleak;
while my queries will not be imported,
I can see it as recorded.
Very excited for the replay! Thank you all!
I’ve tried looking for sources to study myself, but haven’t had too much luck – most of what I’ve found has been connected to putting on make-up or whatnot in some way. So I’m turning to everyone here. If you could help at all, I’d really appreciate it!!
