Best Book Launch Ever (Watch Now!)

$297.00

You wrote the book. Great! Now how do you launch the thing and make sales?

In this interactive 3-hour workshop, we’ll tame the beast known as Amazon and learn everything there is to know about a successful book launch, such as:

  1. Launch Prep: Before you rush off, let's make sure you've got everything in place to launch your book. We'll cover the book itself, author website, social media platforms, email list, and more.

  2. Building Your Launch Team: It's time to find your fans! Your launch team is an integral part of your book's success, so we'll make sure you have the best team possible using an email newsletter as home base.

  3. Amazon & Other Retailers: Should you go wide or remain exclusive using KDP Select? Who should you print with? Should you do preorders? We’ll choose the best options for you, your book, and your goals.

  4. Telling the World: How will people know your book exists? By using your platform, other people’s platforms, and handy-dandy book promotion newsletters.

  5. Amazon & Goodreads Reviews: How do people get reviews before the book releases? How do they get reviews once the book is published? We’ll learn how to use BookSirens and BookFunnel, among other avenues, for this very purpose.

  6. Amazon Marketing: How do you choose the right categories and keywords? How do you amplify your Amazon book page? How do rankings work? Will your blurb captivate readers? How much should you charge for your book?

  7. Planning Your Online Launch Party: Bring everyone together to celebrate the big day using a Facebook Event! We'll discuss the online party itself, giveaways, and important prompts to get the word out about your book. (Don’t want to use Facebook? No problem. We can implement Zoom, Discord, etc.)

  8. Release Day: It's the big day! This is when your launch team makes a huge splash to help you gain sales, up your rankings, and flow more traffic to your book.

  9. Post-Launch: What needs to happen after the book's release? How do you keep sales afloat? How do you avoid annoying people?

INCLUDES: 3-Month Launch Checklist PDF and Post-Launch Checklist PDF

This is the most in-depth class yet! Don’t miss it.

Note: You will receive a PDF with instructions on how to securely access the workshop video.
