What's the best book marketing strategy?
In today's digital landscape, social media plays a pivotal role for authors, offering a dynamic platform to connect with readers, showcase their work, and establish their literary identity.
Through platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and X, authors can share insights, announce book releases, and foster a community of readers who share their passions. This intersection of social media and authorship not only boosts an author's visibility but also transforms reading into an interactive and engaging experience.
Why should I be on social media as an author?
Having an author account on social media opens a treasure trove of benefits. It provides a direct line of communication with readers, allowing authors to share behind-the-scenes glimpses, discuss their creative process, and build a loyal community. By showcasing their personality and engaging with followers, authors can enhance their brand, boosting book sales and attracting literary opportunities.
Social media also offers a platform to announce new releases, share endorsements, and join relevant conversations, further establishing their authority in the literary realm. With global reach and real-time interactions, social media empowers authors to forge meaningful connections that extend far beyond the pages of their books.
Marketing is no longer about the stuff we sell, it's about the stories we tell
"One challenge I faced as a self-published author is working out the best ways to promote my books on social media. I recently turned this challenge over to Nathan at Softwood Books and he has done a wonderful job at writing posts and boosting my profile on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn etc. We're only 1 month into the process but it has made a world of difference. I absolutely highly recommend them."
