“To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard.”
~Allen Ginsberg, WD
One common mistake I see from
authors, is shouting so loud about their book, that everyone ignores them. To
gain your marketing voice, stop thinking in terms of dollars, and start
thinking about connecting with readers. If you want them to buy your book, you
first have to stop thinking about sales, and start thinking about
relationships. Learn who your readers are, what they like, what they’re going
through – build connections.
Marketing prompt:
Connect directly with some of your
readers today. This could be done by e-mail, responding to a Facebook status or
Tweet - preferably something unrelated to your book. Even something simple to
let your readers know you are a real person.
