As a new author, I find this book marketing guide to be very helpful. I appreciate the straightforward nature and the simple layout that allows me to quickly find and glean from the areas relevant to me. From what to include in a media kit and search engine optimization, to possible brick-and-mortar stores to sell to and questions to ask potential sellers, many of my marketing questions were answered in this book. The public relations email templates are particularly helpful. It takes the guesswork out of making initial contact with potential bookstores and other groups, which can often feel daunting. This is a handy guide for authors at any stage in the publishing journey, including those who have not yet published. This is a valuable primer, as it may equip authors to make better decisions on content and cover design for optimal book sales.
ARTICLE WRITING SERVICE
Have you wondered why your author's website is not seeing the traffic you need to convert to book sales? One of your problems may be that you thought that you could just set it and forget it with a book, a great picture of yourself, and a link. Not so. Search engines would love to find you to push your site to the top of their searches, but you have to do your part. Your part is creating relevant, high-quality, typo-free information for your blog or articles that are meaningful to readers and search engines. With no materials on your site (and for long periods), you are simply telling them that your shop is closed. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Article writing is one of our strengths. Let us help you to increase your website's traffic today.
BOOK DESCRIPTION PLUS
Did you know that simply putting your book on Amazon does not guarantee sales? This is not the case. Your book is competing with many others in the same category whose books may not be as good as yours, but they know how to be found. Part of being found is your book's description—a well-written, optimized description can grab a reader's attention and compel them to make a purchase. If you do manage to send readers to the page, are you providing the information they need to convert to a sale? We can help you to maximize your sales page and provide the tools to drive interest in your books.
How To Market Your Book - Marketing Solutions for Your Books
Boosting book visibility with cutting-edge marketing solutions is a high priority for authors. One the first questions we receive is for information on "How to market my books in The Bahamas." That's because most authors know that books don't sell by themselves. That's why you are here and why we have this service available for authors interested in knowing how to market your book in The Bahamas, West Indies, and the world. Whether you self-publish or go through the traditional means of publishing, boosting book visibility to promote your book is a must if you wish to take your books beyond your borders. It is essential to consider the marketing channels and the tools you will have to help you in this process. Having the right tools is the perfect gift for the author who is unaccustomed to the limelight, does not like promoting their products, needs help getting more coverage, or needs a voice to help them share the news about their amazing book.
Many authors believe that simply having their name added to a publisher's book list or being published by a company that has a worldwide television network means you will be a shoo-in on their platform. Wrong. You're paying for a listing not to be featured on a show--especially if you're a newcomer and unknown on the world stage.
Most online marketers who spill out books by the dozen annually will tell you the best way to get your books sold is to keep the conversation going about your books on social media. So back to the question, "how do I market my book, especially in The Bahamas?" The answer is you need fresh bait; book marketing tools to keep your book in the public's eye.
Today, social media is the easiest and most cost-effective means to keep your book prominently displayed in front of an ever-growing, ever-changing audience. Even if you don't have an account, chances are, your family and friends do. And if you're reading this, you can more than likely send your infographic, trailers, etc., via WhatsApp or a similar telephone app. At Inspire Publishing, we provide the tools to get the job done professionally and at an affordable cost.
To gain traction with your sales, one of the most important steps you will need to take is to make your name and your book's title familiar to search engines and readers alike. To do that, you must maximize every opportunity to circulate your name and title. Here are a few cost-effective ways Inspire Publishing can help you with book marketing.

"I just want to say that the marketing tools that I got from Inspire Publishing were nothing short of amazing, especially the trailer.

I initially reached out to Inspire Publishing to help me with marketing tools for my 3 self-published books - REST: 52 Love Notes from God for the Weary Soul, Free to Be Me: 3 Keys to Living Loved and Free, and God Loves Me (Journal). Mrs. Bethel responded to my inquiry promptly and guided me through the different marketing tools Inspire Publishing provides. The marketing tools I received were crafted excellently and delivered quickly. Another thing I appreciated about working with Mrs Bethel is her extensive knowledge of book publishing and marketing. She provided great advice in addition to the marketing tools. I look forward to working with Inspire Publishing again.
