Book Marketing Resources
The following is a list of our most commonly used software. We only endorse services that we have used and found to be effective. What is listed below can help build your author platform by saving costs on hiring professionals to automate and clawing back valuable time to put into your writing.
Keywords and Categories
Discovering your book on Amazon's saturated book store requires relevant and optimized keywords and categories. An effective online presence begins with these building blocks. Finding the keywords and categories people are searching for is crucial, but they aren't too competitive with best sellers! To help you with your marketing research, Publisher Rocket is one of the best tools to invest in. We use it everyday. There are four key areas where Publisher Rocket can help:
- Choosing the right keywords for your book,
- Finding out what your competitors' books are earning and who they are.
- Selecting the proper categories for your book
- Choosing the right keywords for your AMS ad
Reviews
Reviews are the powerhouse behind successful book marketing campaigns. There's no sense spending money on promotions until you have them, as you are unlikely to get a positive result. We have been using the Book Sirens review service for the last few years as they are totally above board and simply the best around. They are very reasonably priced too!.
Newsletter providers
SendFox is an email marketing platform built for authors, content creators, and entrepreneurs who want a simple, affordable way to create newsletters to connect with their audience. It offers tools for automated email sequences, newsletters, and smart campaigns in an easy-to-use interface. Unlike most platforms that charge monthly, SendFox offers a one-time lifetime deal, making it highly cost-effective compared to most expensive monthly subscriptions. It is is cheap to buy and simple to use and we have been using it for years. While it may not have every advanced feature, its value and simplicity make it a great bargain for those growing a list on a budget.
