Promoting and Marketing Your Book - Step 1: Your Author’s Identity

Posted on April 21, 2008

Book promotion can never start too soon.  One powerful way to begin promoting your book is to take on your Author’s Identity.  That’s right, take on your Author’s Identity – it’s simple, fun and absolutely FREE.

Although the first three weeks of my Author’s Coaching Program focuses on creating the structure of your book, I begin the Book Promotion / Database Building /

Marketing phase of your Author’s Coaching Program in Week #2.  Just like any thing you build, you want a strong and sturdy foundation, so we begin your book promotion early in the book writing process. 

So how do you take on your Author’s Identity?  Here’s how. 

This is how you begin building your database.  Having a list is your treasure chest and each name is a gold nugget.  What are you going to do with these gold nuggets?

Create excitement about your book.  I recommend getting the domain name for your name as well as the name of your book.  Set up an “Announcement” page.  It can be a simple page announcing your book, providing the info listed above and an opt-in box so you can capture email addresses.

To your writing success!

Ann McIndoo, your Author’s Coach

    Hi there! I am really excited I found this blog and site, this post was already very very helpful.
    I don’t have one book in my head, I have about 3 and they are all quite different and all quite do-able , but it’s a little tricky when you’re alone in the process. I’ll be tuning in for all the help I can get! Many thanks, Janice
