Somewhere out there, someone is searching for the exact story you're afraid to share.

Your words, your experiences, your unique perspective – they're not just ink on paper.

They're a lighthouse for someone lost in the dark...

A warm embrace for a reader who feels alone...

An answer to a question someone's been afraid to ask....

That book living in your heart? It's not just your story anymore.

It's medicine for a soul you haven't met yet.

It's courage for someone who needs to know they're not alone.

It's permission for another writer to be brave with their own truth.

Your doubts are whispering "Who am I to write this?"

But the real question is: "Who are you not to?"

The world needs your voice. Your readers are waiting, even if they don't know it yet.

They're searching bookstore shelves, scrolling through online reviews, hoping to find the words that only you can write.

Be brave. Share your story. Your book isn't just a dream – it just might be someone else's answered prayer. ✨

Share this with your fellow writers who need some encouragement. ❤️

When it comes to selling books, authors need to do this...⤵️

There is a lot (and I mean A LOT) of competition for attention online.

This isn't just with other books - this is with movies, YouTube, social media, TV - you name it!

So when it comes to marketing our books, we can't be general.

We can't assume that readers will buy based on the fact that you simply say that you have a book available.

They need to know WHY they should pay attention and buy.

And one of the biggest ways that you can get their attention and make your marketing stand out is to tap into the EMOTIONS of your ideal readers.

Harvard professor and author of the book, "How Customers Think: Essential Insights into the Mind of the Market," Gerald Zaltman, did a very complex study on why customers buy certain products over another and boiled it down to this:

"Emotion is what really drives the purchasing behaviors, and also, decision making in general." 🤯

For example, if you only market the attributes of your book you will get lackluster results.

Humans are driven by feelings.

So if you want your readers to remember your book and author brand, they must be engaged and impassioned by the interaction with your book and with you as the author.

If this feels a bit much or impossible to do - I totally understand! 🤪 We can only cover so much in a social media post.

That's why I created the Book Marketing Starter Kit - it's your step-by-step guide to simplify the marketing process and be empowered with the tools you need to successfully market your book and see more sales.

If you're afraid of "giving too much away" from your book before the release date, this is for you!

When I tell authors that they need to talk about their book on social media, they usually respond with...

😱 what if someone steals my idea?

When someone said this very thing in my comments, another author responded by saying, "I already have a ton of book ideas - why would I take an idea from someone else?"

You're not sharing a bunch of details or going too deep with it.

What I would challenge you to do is to think of descriptive words that will help spark interest. What is the "essence" of your book? What other books, movies, TV shows are similar or are in the same vein?

Don't let the fear of "what ifs" hold you back from setting up your book. 😊

And if you want some guidance on how to set up your book marketing and get on the right track - I've got you covered!

Pretty much sums it up, right? 😂🤪⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Is this not SPOT ON?! The reader and writer relationship is a total partnership - I love this! What are your thoughts? Do you have a reader or a writer that comes to mind? ⁠

We come from a looooong line of introverts! ✨We are in good company. 😊📚 ⁠What are you currently reading? I'd love to hear!

⁠

How our readers feel when they read our posts, listen to our interviews, read your book - however you interact with others - plays a huge role in how you connect with readers and grow your audience. ⁠
⁠
How do YOU want your readers to feel when they interact with you? I'd love to hear! ⁠

⁠
I told this to a client a few years ago. He was a debut author and he kept comparing himself and his books to James Patterson. ⁠
⁠
Of all people! ⁠
⁠
I told him, "You can't compare your beginning to another author's journey. James Patterson has been writing for decades! He's grown an audience longer than you've been alive! Stop!" ✋ ⁠
⁠
This can apply to anyone at any stage of their writing career. Whether that be comparing the size of your audience, what you're doing marketing wise, how many books you've sold - it doesn't matter. ✨⁠
⁠
We are all at different phases of our journey. Look to other authors as inspiration, but not as a measuring stick. ⁠
⁠
Stay the course and keep at it! ❤️😊📚⁠

Here’s an easy way for authors and writers to create a successful book marketing plan that works!

19/03/2023

Someone is anxiously waiting to discover your book!

Save this! ❤️ 👈🏻Follow!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When I'm writing something I always try to picture the look of relief, joy, or excitement on a reader's face when they finally discover what they were looking for. ✨⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I always try to anticipate that because I know how it feels to FINALLY find something that answers a question, that checks off all the boxes, or fills you with such anticipation that you can hardly stand still. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But for whatever reason, we tend to believe the nagging or negative voices in our heads that say, "Who would want to read this? Is anyone even going to see it?" Why do we tend to lean towards the negative rather than the positive? Is it easier? Maybe. But does it make that statement true? Not at all. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I'm a big believer in the fact that there is an urgency or calling placed inside of us with a story or message that we HAVE to share with the world. It's a feeling of "If I don't get this out I'm going to bust wide open!" There is a purpose to those feelings. It's not just for you - it's for the people who will read it as well! 📚⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When you begin to get that nasty little voice in your head starting to question your book or your writing, tell it to take a hike. Picture in your head the look on your readers faces when they discover your book - it's just as much for them as it is for you! 😊⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Share this with another author as encouragement! And be sure to save it to remind yourself when you start to doubt! ❤️⁠⁠

Think about it this way 👇🏻 Let’s say we were to gather 100 writers from around the world. We give each of them the same storyline, setting, or topic to write about and tell them to go and write. A month later we gather everyone together and we see what everyone came up with. Even though there would be some similarities, each and every story would still be different. Why? 🔥 Because we are all unique individuals with different perspectives, life stories, experiences, and points of view. I hear from many authors and writers who are hesitant to share their writing because… … they are afraid that someone will steal it. … there are so many books in the same genre. … that someone will write a similar book. … someone else already wrote on the subject. But here’s the truth: no one can tell a story or address a subject like YOU can. 🫶🏻 What sets your story, your topic, your book, and more from everyone else…is you. No one can take that away from you - and no one can replicate it. ❤️ You’re pretty dang amazing - and I’m excited for you to share YOUR story! Share this with a fellow author or writer who needs encouragement. ⁠#bookstagram #bookmarketing #authorsofinstagram #authorcommunity #mixtusmedia #booksales #instabook #read #reader #books #booklover
