Each new year brings the promise of new beginnings and new opportunities. As you make the usual resolutions (lose weight, get into shape, save more money) be sure to add one more: develop an effective book marketing plan and take action to implement it.
Now is the time to write your book marketing plan, or update your existing plan. Once you have a strategy, then schedule promotional tasks for specific days, weeks and months of the year. For help with your plan, get my free report, Create a Book Marketing Plan That Sells Books.
If you’re a long-time follower of the Savvy Book Marketer, you’ve probably noticed I haven’t been around much the past year, due to family issues. I’m excited to be back and looking forward to sharing lots of new book marketing tools and advice to help you sell more books.
