There has never been a better time for coaches, consultants, and therapists to write and publish a business book. With a great idea, a clear strategy, and a well-formed marketing plan, your book will help you to build your business and attract more clients.
Your book may be a manual, textbook, how-to guide, self-help book, anthology, parable, memoir, or any type of book that you hope will be a marketing tool and credibility builder.
In Book Marketing Made Simple, you’ll get easy to follow strategies to market your book at all stages of your journey – from the day you start to write a book until after your book launch.

- Create compelling content to develop your online profile, build your credibility, and become an expert and thought leader.

- Develop new and existing contacts to help with your book promotion.

Section 2 will help you with your book launch, and show you how to:
- Get publicity through print publications, radio, TV, and other PR.
- Develop your Amazon sales page and become an Amazon bestseller.
- Hold a memorable book launch party to celebrate your book’s success.
