Description
MODULE ONE
LESSON 1: Book Launch Must-Haves
In Lesson 1 we’ll cover the basics of your book launch, including everything you need to have in tip-top shape before you think about investing money into a book launch (including the answer to what “Write a Great Book!” actually means). I’ll also share how you can package your book so that the marketing works in your favor (rather than wasting effort, time, and money).
LESSON 2: Messaging to Sell Your Book
In Lesson 2 we’ll cover how to write descriptions, teasers, emails, and advertising copy for your book launch. I go over the six steps to copywriting for book marketing for both nonfiction and fiction books. I also explain how you can keep marketing your book by switching up the copy (and why you should!)
LESSON 3: Making Launch Decisions
Lesson 3 focuses on the most common launch decisions plaguing authors based on the current market and state of the industry. I share the pros and cons of various approaches to book launches and why only you can make decisions about your launch. (Hint: There are no right answers, only what works for you!)
MODULE TWO
LESSON 4: Leveraging Your Current Marketing Assets
In Lesson 4 we hit on the first B—Belongs to You—and talk about your current assets across your product catalog and marketing materials. We take an inventory of all the ways in which you can use these assets to support your book launch.
LESSON 5: Building Marketing Assets For and During Launch
Lesson 5 goes deep into the second B—Build—and explores how you build new assets ahead of your launch. We also talk about the important ways in which you can use your launch to build your current assets. And finally, I give you 7 different categories to inventory to find support for your book launch from building your assets.
LESSON 6: Borrowing Marketing Assets For Launch
Lesson 6 focuses on the third B—Borrow—and goes over how you can borrow assets that you don’t own to help increase visibility for your book during launch. There are four major categories within which you can find assets to borrow during launch.
LESSON 7: Buying Visibility and Traffic For Launch
In Lesson 7 we talk about the fourth B—Buy— and what you need to consider before you buy traffic and visibility for your book launch. We go over the important pieces around target audiences, copy, and visuals and how to test them. I also share the best sites for buying advertising based on personal experience.
LESSON 8: Creating Buzz For Launch
In Lesson 8 I share the fifth B—Buzz—and how you can create buzz for your business and book ahead of launch. We talk about how you can reach your Fans, True Fans, and Evangelists using assets from your current book, along with running viral promotions or live events to find new readers.
MODULE THREE
LESSON 9: Timing Your Launch
Lesson 9 dives deep into the heart of your launch plan with the 5Bx3 strategy. I talk about Launch, Crescendo, and Blanket days and how to decide which days your launch lands on. I also share what you can and should set up for each day so that you are well-prepared for your launch.
Lesson 10: Keeping Momentum For the First Month
In Lesson 10 we talk about how you can keep sales momentum for your book going after launch. You don’t want to see a sales spike then have no plan afterward! I share the 6 critical ways to keep book sales going, plus the correct order in which to do them in.
LESSON 11: Keeping Momentum For the First Year
Lesson 11 is all about 5 additional ways you can keep momentum going for your book for the first 12 months after launch. The typical advice here is to write the next book, but there’s so much more you can do to keep the current book going, too.
MODULE FOUR
Lesson 12: Putting it All Together
In Lesson 12 we review the entire course and handle any remaining objections to launching your book. Don’t fall into these mindset traps which will keep your book launch from taking off in the way that it was meant to!
