This tactic works a ton for getting more Instagram followers , where the number of followers matters even to the platform itself. Instagram allows its users to attach links to products and websites on Instagram stories when the account reaches a following of 10K followers.

A massive following also attracts corporate giants; even for a collaboration, they will go with entities with the largest social media followers. Moreover, leveraging the audience also becomes easier with a massive word of mouth supporting you on every social media platform. That is why, the next time you go to stalk your favorite small business, give them a follow to help them to establish a verified account, leading to bigger business opportunities.

Search for your small business on Google Maps and engage yourself with its google listing. It can be done in any way, look for directions, call customer service, drop a query on the help desk, look at the pricing, and so on.

Exploring the small business through Google listing will improve the recommendations and ranking of the brand, notifying Google with an indirect review of users engaging more with this business. Every business includes two parties, and if both lie in the similar category of loyalty and quality, the benefits for both parties increase strategically.

You can do something similar to boost the sales of your favorite small business by referring it to worthy professionals. It can be in the form of collaborations, simple shout-outs, partnerships, and so on. Give word of mouth about the brand in your network, refer it to people, and engage them in profitable collaborations.

This way, without spending a dime, you will be helping the business community in a great manner. Social media has left no stone unturned to convince millennials to share every aspect of their lives, and no doubt, it appears as a sound marketing strategy for brands. So the easiest way to support any online business is to talk about it on your social media platforms, a genuine casual conversation on why you like the brand and how it has benefitted you will do wonders for the brand.

Even if you made the purchase long ago, there is nothing to worry about; you can still talk about the business and help it grow better. If the business lies under your expertise and is related to past experiences, provide assistance to the business owners. Sharing knowledge and experience always enhance your own, so this technique is the best idea you can execute.

No, we are not suggesting you do full-time supervision for the brand. A mentoring session, a workshop, or a one-on-one guest session with brand owners can help them to acknowledge their loopholes and do better in the future. Suggest to them the best time to post on social media and motivate them to keep creating content.

Personal recommendations to friends and family are effective only when you do it wholeheartedly with an aim to bring the brand into the limelight. If you have a WhatsApp group with your family or a discord session with friends, you can easily do the branding of the business, recommending others to try it once.

Tell your loved ones you care about them and how this business can add value to their lifestyle; even if they do not use it now, they might consider it later on. This way, the business will achieve organic credibility and long-lasting customer support backing the future sales of the business as well.

Ten incredible ways to support the business you love for its services and quality. No hefty spending and no hassle; every effort has to do with you sitting on a couch, exploring your social media, and trying out the recommended suggestions. Give honest feedback to the business owners and tell them where you see any room for improvement.

If you love a brand, stay consistent with it and support its journey, join any webinars, live telecasts, opinion polls, and other activities to engage with the brand. Tell your friends and family also to do the same. Recommend them to use social media analytics tools to keep track of their progress.

I'm going to share the But more and more, marketing is something authors must understand and take part in, EVEN if you're doing the traditional route.

My goal? Is to help teach marketing for authors who hate How To Get The Most Out of Your Thinking Time. To celebrate its launch, over the next 3 weeks, I'm going to take you behind the scenes to share why I wrote this book, the process of getting a book deal and explain some of the publishing routes out AS a freelance writer, you have more options for magazines to pitch your ideas to than you may realize.

Most people. Here, so you can learn from her experience, she outlines what she got wrong when she started her self-publishing. Everything about writing, selling, and promoting a book is hard. And sometimes, no matter the diligence and creativity you bring to the project, success eludes you. Alexandra Alter and Elizabeth A.

But it occurred to me today, as I sat at my computer considering the best use of my time, that one of the biggest problems we have as authors is too much opportunity. Should Entrepreneurs Write a Book to Become More Influential?

Every author wants to do right by their book. They want to give their book the best chance to be seen and sold. Desire and action, however, are two very different prospects.

When it comes to book marketing, authors shy away. Three reasons: 1. For nearly all writers, we are united in wanting to get our writing out into the world and in front of readers, but how we get there is much more personal, and influenced by a wide range of factors.

So how do you decide on the best approach for you,. Many authors who selfpublish focus more on publishing their book than they do promoting it.

While the reasons vary, some have no clue where to start. Keep in mind the long term. A lot of times, we worry about right now. You only get one chance to make a first impression. These aims demand that seven processes are done well: ed.

As a freelance picture book editor, my inbox is flooded daily with pleas from authors who need to know how to fix a mistake they made without spending a fortune.

The truth is, not every mistake is easily fixable. But many of them are avoidable. Michael Magnus is an advertising professional who supports the growth of the leather industry through his marketing agency, Magnus Opus.

Among his client partnerships are Silver Creek Leather Co. DEBRA ENGLANDER is a New York City—based freelance editor, writer, and book coach. She has written. The Anatomy of a Best Seller: 3 Steps to Deconstruct Winning Books and Teach Yourself Craft; 8 Steps to Side Characters: How to Craft Supporting Roles With Intention, Purpose, and Power; A Game of Hearts and Heists Nonfiction writing craft; sapphic.

Review must be at least 10 words. This book is dedicated to my parents who from my early childhood drilled into me the lessons of this beautiful Sanskrit Shloka:. Meaning: Only by hard work are wishes fulfilled and not by daydreaming about them.

Even a mighty lion cannot afford to keep sleeping and hope that a deer will just walk into his jaws. That is, in fact, the underlying philosophy of this Book, as well as that of my entire Self-publishing WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME series of books.

After a reasonably successful stint in Corporate Law, I started my writing career in September In just about two years, I have been able to write and publish 14 books this is the 15th in three genres—cookbooks Cooking In A Jiffy series , motivational books for introverts Quiet Phoenix series and self-publishing Self-Publishing WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME series.

In addition, I could also publish eleven translations of my books into languages such as German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese. Four more are in the process of translation into various languages.

Like any other writer, I was initially clueless about marketing. So I researched, picked up a lot of business books on marketing for authors and, believe it or not, read all of them. Most books expounded on so many strange and esoteric marketing techniques that they left me baffled, bewildered and terribly confused.

Many advised writers to blog, podcast, hang out on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Tumblr, Reddit, Stumble Upon, Pinterest, LinkedIn and goddamn any other social media site that they, the writers, could get a hang of.

They also recommended to create YouTube Videos and online courses. Some wanted you to pick up speaking assignments, and in addition take the initiative to contact guest bloggers and book reviewers.

I am not going to overwhelm you with ways to market your books. In fact, I am going to focus on just a few essential things that you need to do to actually sell your books. The rest are optional and, if I may dare, are even serious time, money and energy wasters.

I firmly believe that your time is better spent in writing, spending quality time with your family, going to the gym or watching a movie, than on those things that are recommended for boosting the sales rank of your books. Admittedly, I have personally experimented with and bumbled along a host of highly recommended techniques.

I have tried to promote my Facebook Fan page, built my Twitter audience, ran half a dozen Goodreads Giveaways, contacted book bloggers and reviewers, and filled up innumerable forms for FREE and 0. In this book, I shall try to share all those experiences -good, bad and ugly. But if the suspense is killing you and if you are dying to know, in one line, if any of the above mentioned techniques worked , then let me admit, somewhat sheepishly, that all these marketing techniques actually turned out to be quite non-essential.

I would have done quite well to avoid these from the very beginning. Anyway, I would be expounding on them in greater detail in the second Part of this book under the heading Big Time or Money Wasters-Things to Avoid.

On the other hand, if you want to know what really works as a Marketer, you can straightaway move to Part IV-How to build and Market Your Book-Step by Step. If you feel that you have been implementing all these steps but with little to no results, I suggest that you read Part III—Mindset.

To repeat, there are very few things that are truly essential, when it comes to marketing your book. Once you know them, you can very easily channelise all your energies in that one direction, than in a million other money and time-wasting ones.

You will get better sales, your subscriber base will slowly increase and your mailbox may soon explode with countless, exuberant fan mail. Yet you will not be over worked and would have plenty of time to enjoy life with your family.

You have written at least one book and are ready to publish it. The important point is that you are now thinking of self-publishing and you now want to know what happens when you publish your book all by yourself. You have already self-published your first book and in absence of a traditional publisher pushing your book, you wish to understand how you can market your book better.

You have already published a few books, tried out a few marketing techniques but are not really sure what works and what does NOT. You wish to understand how you can utilise your time and money more effectively.

You want to understand Marketing and NOT productivity. You are struggling to make sales. This book is obviously NOT relevant for you if you are an author who sells thousands of books in a year because by now you would have already figured out what works and what does NOT work for you.

Your goal is to make a living from your writing whatever that means to you and NOT to become a NY Times Best Seller. This is because it is possible to make a living and have a writing career WITHOUT ever hitting the NY Times Best Seller list.

Let me explain this a little bit more. Hypothetically, if a book sells 20, copies in a week and nothing thereafter, it may still hit the NY Times Best Seller list for that particular week.

However, if the same book sells copies a week, week after week for the next 12 months, it may not hit any Best Seller list. But it would have sold more copies 52, than the one which sold a flashier 20, copies in one week. This is because any Best Seller list is calculated on the basis of sales over a short span of time, usually a week, or even a particular day.

Obviously the marketing strategies deployed to get that spike would be different and costlier than the ones required to get a sustained sales over a longer time horizon. This book focuses on the latter, in the belief that in the long run you are better of being a patient tortoise than a glamorous rabbit that traditional publishing promises to turn you into.

Just as every writer is different, so is every reader. So there cannot be one marketing solution that will suit all writers and all readers. If a customer shows interest in one type of a dress, he or she is to be persuaded to either buy the most expensive design in that category or to buy ten other related products, because they are on SALE or carry a special OFFER just for YOU on that day.

Same is the situation when you visit a car showroom. The job of the salesmen there would be to try to sell you either the most expensive car you can afford or to add on as many accessories, insurance and servicing plans as possible to the model you have chosen.

What is not taught to these commission-driven salespersons is that every customer is a human being and is DIFFERENT. Some customers may get excited and happily splurge on ten other related products; in which case the marketing strategy could be termed a success.

In that case you would have lost a prospective customer forever. The simple point is that this one-size-fits-all strategy does not work for everyone.

If you want to understand how every reader is different, I would wholeheartedly recommend an excellent blog post by author Kristine Kathryn Rusch. I fully agree with what she says about different kinds of readers and why one type of marketing strategy does not work for all.

Just as every customer is different, so is every writer. Some writers are extroverted and love meeting new people, picking up speaking assignments, creating YouTube videos or podcasts which is a new way to speak to your audience.

They may be put off by the advice that they should instead write more than one book in a year and may retort that the pressure of producing more books will only burn them out faster.

Neither focus on writing more books in a year nor give up on podcasting or speaking assignments that you apparently love so much.

You may be reluctant to talk about your books, especially in public. You may be even uncomfortable hanging out on social media, beyond a point, but may be wondering whether you should be stepping out of your comfort zone since this is what all marketing gurus advise.

And then you realise that if you wanted to blog, podcast or create YouTube videos, you have to learn new skills and may in addition have to invest in some new technology. In fact, if you did that, you may be surprised to find that talking about your books all the time puts off many of your readers and fans.

An unpleasant result could be that your Twitter followers may unfollow, e-mail subscribers may unsubscribe, and family members may stop replying to your messages, and so on. And this is a fact. We fast forward television commercials, if our TV boxes allow that,.

What is not taught to these commission-driven salespersons is that every customer is a human being and is DIFFERENT. Some customers may get excited and happily splurge on ten other related products; in which case the marketing strategy could be termed a success.

In that case you would have lost a prospective customer forever. The simple point is that this one-size-fits-all strategy does not work for everyone. If you want to understand how every reader is different, I would wholeheartedly recommend an excellent blog post by author Kristine Kathryn Rusch.

I fully agree with what she says about different kinds of readers and why one type of marketing strategy does not work for all. Just as every customer is different, so is every writer. Some writers are extroverted and love meeting new people, picking up speaking assignments, creating YouTube videos or podcasts which is a new way to speak to your audience.

They may be put off by the advice that they should instead write more than one book in a year and may retort that the pressure of producing more books will only burn them out faster.

Neither focus on writing more books in a year nor give up on podcasting or speaking assignments that you apparently love so much. You may be reluctant to talk about your books, especially in public. You may be even uncomfortable hanging out on social media, beyond a point, but may be wondering whether you should be stepping out of your comfort zone since this is what all marketing gurus advise.

And then you realise that if you wanted to blog, podcast or create YouTube videos, you have to learn new skills and may in addition have to invest in some new technology.

In fact, if you did that, you may be surprised to find that talking about your books all the time puts off many of your readers and fans. An unpleasant result could be that your Twitter followers may unfollow, e-mail subscribers may unsubscribe, and family members may stop replying to your messages, and so on.

And this is a fact. We fast forward television commercials, if our TV boxes allow that,. Open navigation menu.
