THE TRUTH about Marketing in Traditional Publishing

How does marketing work if you have a traditional publishing deal? What can you expect your publisher to do for you? What do you have to do yourself?

I'm offering some publishing real talk, re: marketing, but also lots of advice and reassurance.

I would LOVE a 360 marketing plan video! I'm so curious!

Hi Alexa. I would like to see a video on a full marketing scheme. It is something I am likely to do myself and I could use some ideas and direction.

This was great! I work in marketing for my day job too, but it isn't book marketing so I found this helpful!

How did you find other authors in your genre that would be releasing around the same time as you? Love the idea of a giveaway!

Marketing lieu of your publisher helping out too....it's a tough market you really have to stand out in the

Marketing is something most writers hate, but it's THE most important part of the pie. Most do not receive big budget movies (Harry Potter) to promote our work. Yet, visibility is necessary!

Go full Alexa... I have spent a lot of time on studying how to market a book. A lot of that time has been wasted on scams and dark alleys that don't do a damn thing. I know enough to know that I don't know enough. An Alexa plan (or even buffet) would be very well received by this author at least.

Why is it that Youtubers who actually sound like they know what they're talking about (like you) are the ones who don't offer their services? Can't swing a dead cat without finding somebody with the latest sales funnel strategy using it to sign me up for their ... sales funnel strategy. You sound like the real McCoy. Do you offer any kind of marketing/publicity services?
