Book Marketing FAQ

I’ve written a book marketing FAQ, knowing how expansive (but not necessarily expensive) book marketing can be. No, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Yes, it should include a marketing plan. I’ve put together a list of links (including my own blog posts) that address:

  • Book Marketing Ideas
  • WordPress SEO
  • SEO Blogging
  • Social Media
  • Podcasts and Media Reach
  • Self-Publishing

Learn about my services in the literary realm. Book editing and ghostwriting are my primary focuses, yet many authors have asked me for book marketing assistance. This nudged me to pursue a master’s degree in digital media to help self-publishing authors bolster their online footprint in a highly competitive marketplace.
