Introduction

The landscape of book marketing is in a constant state of flux, mirroring the ever-changing publishing industry. New social media platforms, emerging publishing programs, and various opportunities continually reshape the marketing landscape. Throughout my years as an Author Advocate, I have witnessed many individuals with a marketing background confidently believe they could conquer book marketing, only to realize it was more challenging than anticipated.

Marketing your book demands a greater investment of time than you might have expected or planned for. It is not as simple as listing your book on Amazon and stepping away. The realm of book marketing is brimming with a multitude of concepts, ideas, and options to navigate.

This book aims to serve as a guide, offering a better understanding of book marketing, albeit covering only the basics. Towards the end of the book, you will be introduced to the Authors School of Business, an organization that has been assisting authors since 2011 in comprehending book marketing and its effective implementation. I highly recommend becoming a student of this invaluable organization to facilitate the learning process and make book marketing a more manageable endeavor.
