Question: When should authors start marketing their books and use social media?
Answer: The day they start thinking that they will write and publish a book.
Okay … so most authors don’t respond, “I did exactly that.”
So, let’s reframe the question. How about:
Question: When should authors start marketing and using social media tools to implement their book and author success?
Answer: For both– NOW.
Question: Can I do both at the same time for my book and author success?
Answer: YES … You can. Register and attend Judith Briles COMBO Book Marketing & Social Media Unplugged ONLINE November 19-20.
- When your car begins to make an awful noise and just stops, you know you have a problem … right? Who do you call for help?
- When your basement is flooded; when you noticed that there are watermarks on your ceiling; or that water is seeping through your window edges, you have a problem … right? Who do you call for help?
- When your computer goes blank and doesn’t respond, you know you have a problem … right? Who do you call for help?
BUT … what about marketing your book? What about untangling the confusion of social media? Who do you call to untangle it all?
Judith Briles … that’s who you call.
If that is you, then how much time are you spending working on a marketing solution? What about social media and using it within your marketing strategies. What are you investing in your time, energy and money to learn and create a plan that works? Savvy authors have learned that you cannot solve your marketing problem the next day by simply repeating what you did yesterday, last week, last month … or certainly, last year. That’s author insanity.
SOLUTION: Spend two afternoons with me in November. Attend and participate in the ONLINE ZOOM Dr. Judith Briles Book Marketing & Social Media Unplugged. Successful authors believe and practice: if my author success is to be … it’s up to me.
Join me for the COMBO Book Marketing and Social Media Unplugged in November. It’s a two-afternoon intensive … And YES, there will be hot seats for each participant. You will be sent the workbook to download and PRINT out prior to the 15th of November.
Dates: November 19-20, starting at NOON MT to 4.30 pm each day. We start on time. It will be recorded. All registrants will get recordings. And, there is a workbook that will be sent to you prior to the 19th. The wise author will PRINT it out.
Location: Zoom on your computer—the exclusive link will be emailed to you.
REGISTER: Early Bird registration is $277 for AuthorYOU members and $377 for Nonmembers through November 7th. Prices increase $50 on Monday, November 8th.
