Videos reign supreme in today\u2019s world, and a book trailer can be a great way to capture your audience\u2019s attention and boost excitement for your release. What is a book trailer? Basically, it\u2019s like a movie trailer, but for a book.<\/span><\/p>\n People do judge a book by its cover, so create anticipation and excitement by building up to a cover reveal.<\/p>\n An author newsletter is essential to stay connected to your readers. It allows you to stay in control of your messaging and reach all of your readers (whereas on social media, you don’t know who has seen your posts).\u00a0 If you already have one started, keep building it. If not, there are easy ways to get started.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Choose the platform(s) where you are most likely to find your readers – and choose the one (or more) that you enjoy and will be able to consistently post. Share your cover with a teaser quote, post longer excerpts, debut your book trailer, post other teaser videos, talk about your writing process, share photos of your book, you, your pet, your favorite things…these are just a few ideas to get you started. Be sure to engage with people who comment on your posts, too.<\/span><\/p>\n You can make your ebook preorder available on the retailer sites long before (up to a year in some cases) you\u2019re ready to release it. To encourage readers to pre-order your book and build momentum for your release day sales, offer an incentive. <\/span><\/p>\n Reviews provide social proof to others about the quality of your book. Having reviews ready to go on launch day helps readers who haven’t heard of you before make a decision. <\/span><\/p>\n By investing time into generating buzz for your book before the release date, you set the stage for a successful book launch and long-term success. Each of the book marketing strategies<\/a> covered, from creating an engaging book trailer to building a robust email list, helps to build excitement among your readers. Remember, the key is consistency and creativity in your book promotion<\/a> efforts. As you build momentum, stay engaged with your readers and adapt your strategies to keep the excitement going about your upcoming book.
