If there is one thing I have taken from this group, it's that marketing for our books was something none of us were fully prepared for! Over the years I've started a few different communities and coaching courses, but it always goes back to, "How do I find the ideal reader, market my book, get more sales & reviews, and not totally burn out?!" Lessons in Self Publishing has a bit of everything, with a lot of bot takeover, but Marketing for Authors will be fully centered on marketing ONLY. If this is something you'd be into checking out, find me here: https://www.skool.com/marketing-for-authors-2681/about. Inside this community, you’ll get fresh weekly content ideas designed to boost your visibility, grow your audience, and turn readers into book sales. No more guessing what to post or wondering if your marketing is working. You’ll learn alongside fellow authors who are figuring it out too, share what’s working, and walk away each week with something you can put into action right away. Join us and start giving your book the attention it deserves.

You can write an excellent book and still struggle if nobody knows it exists. Do you agree, or do you think a genuinely great book will eventually find its audience?

I’ve noticed that some authors love the creative side but struggle with promotion, while others actually enjoy building the audience. Which side are you?

How do I know when someone marked as high spam risk is actually spammy? I want to be able to connect with people, but I recently had a hard fight evading an intense scam elsewhere, and it took a lot out of me. I'd rather not again so soon. I also understand that spam detectors can sometimes misflag people, and I don't want to miss a good connection. Are there any best practices that I should know to navigate this situation?

I just hand another major issue with IngramSpark and I’m curious to know your thoughts on the best current platform for self publishing and why??
