Pre-Launch Strategies: Why Early Planning is Crucial for Book Marketing

Let's kick things off with some real talk: launching a book isn't a walk in the park. It requires meticulous planning and a solid pre-launch strategy. Patti emphasizes the power of building momentum before your book even hits the market. She suggests creating a Launch Team or an Advanced Reader Campaign, which not only secures early sales but also generates buzz around your upcoming book.

Advanced Readers: Your Secret Weapon for Book Reviews

Now, here's where things get interesting. Patti advises authors to cultivate a pool of advanced readers. These are the folks who will read your book before it's officially out and provide those much-coveted verified reviews. In the world of book marketing, reviews are like gold; they boost your book's visibility and credibility. So, don't underestimate the power of a strong advanced reader campaign.

Leverage Social Media: Building an Engaged Community

In today's digital age, social media is a tool you can't afford to ignore. Patti talks about creating a private Facebook group for your advanced readers. This serves as a platform for engagement and also acts as a catalyst for word-of-mouth marketing. Remember, an engaged community is more likely to share, recommend, and review your book.

QR Codes: The Underutilized Gem in Book Marketing

Here's a tip you probably haven't heard before: use QR codes in your book. According to Patti, this is a fantastic way to offer additional value like downloadable resources while also collecting valuable data on your readers. It's a win-win situation, and it's a strategy that's often overlooked in traditional book marketing plans.

The Power of Podcasting in Book Marketing

If you're an author and you're not leveraging the power of podcasting, you're missing out on a massive opportunity. Podcasts offer incredible SEO value and have a long shelf life. Patti recommends using podcasts as a tool for repurposing content and amplifying your reach across various platforms.
