This is my debut book. I have my launch party on October 25. I started taking pre-orders August 1st and to date, I have sold 60 copies. I have marketed like crazy. I have marketed them as first edition hardcover copies, limited number, pre-orders get a personalized signed copy, and once the hardcover are gone there will be no more because all future edition will be paperbacks. I have marketed them as collectors items to be passed down and shared. This has helped build momentum. I took so much advice from Harleigh and put it into action and it worked. Thanks Harleigh. My website is layneslittlelibrary.com if anyone wants to check out for ideas. I have a Facebook page and and Instagram page that I have used to also market.

Pre Book Launch

What does everyone do for pre book launch for capturing emails? Do you setup a landing page? What services do you use?

I’m hearing that offering something free as a lead magnet really helps. Pick a platform, examine the top/ viral post in your genre, and analyze what they’re doing. Haleigh Rose on YouTube has a free ad download that she uses and swears by.

Super Excited!!

I finally got my illustrations in, and everything has fallen into place. I wanted to share the book cover with everyone. So proud and excited for my debut book. Now everything goes to the printer and in a few weeks, I will have my book in my hands!! Where is everyone else on their journey?
