DWP Episode 02: Starting a Fiction Marketing Campaign

Dauntless Writing Podcast Episode 2 – Starting a Fiction Marketing Campaign

 

What, when and where to start fiction marketing as an authorpreneur

 
No-one promised that this was going to be easy. Just because you’re creating great books doesn’t mean anyone will pick them up. The big publishers won’t even sell your books for you anymore, so it’s pretty much up to you. But where do you start? And what if I don’t have a book ready yet? I’ve touched on this subject in this article, but thought that a podcast on the same subject would be great, since this is a very sticky subject for some authors. The fact is, fiction marketing is a reality for all authors, even wildly successful ones.

In this podcast:

  • Why you need to get a start on fiction marketing right away, even if your book is not finished;
  • What is the difference between marketing and selling;
  • What the single most important facet of marketing is; and
  • What is the easiest way to accomplish that.
