@bookalchemistfaye: Repost for my new followers this is a big one tho!!! A lot of times you get asked about what’s your platform what’s your social media and the biggest piece of information people want to know is how can you effectively sell your books? this doesn’t look the same for everybody this could mean and you have an Instagram this could mean you have a TikTok or a YouTube or a blog or a podcast or you’re well connected in your personal community in person it looks different for each person because marketing is to choose your own adventure and that is the biggest part is what does it look like for you that you can sell books don’t get caught up on the followers don’t get caught up on online forums or any of those types of things it’s how can you figure out the best way to be successful for yourself ##authormarketing##marketingforauthors##bookmarketingstrategies##indieauthormarketing##bookmarketingforauthors##bookmarketingtips
I get barely any interaction on IG and I've been on there for years. I've been on here for about 5 months and the traffic is amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing this information! But I didn’t quite catch one part – so, it’s a good idea to connect with real bookstores, for example, before making submissions? And if we’re talking about online platforms, should we start creating video advertisements for our works? Or what exactly should we say in response to this question?

I’m not on FB. I just can’t do all social media- it’s too time consuming

I've sold more books directly just walking into establishments like a wine store, Starbucks, or a bar and starting a conversation with people I don't know. I sell out of the back of my car and sign the books for them.😉

So you say that author must become the brand and connect/network with people. But here is the problem: most of authors are introverts and do not want or cannot connect with people. So what is platform for those?

As a teacher who writes children's books, the schools I've worked at become my platform.

This is SO TRUE. My book was a bestseller on Amazon Brazil based on TikTok videos and I didn’t have 1K followers in my Brazilian profile at that time. I had to do a good marketing and use storytelling and emotion in my videos. It took me a big time to understand that, but it worked.

I like the honesty of 'the ultimate goal is to sell books'. Sometimes that gets forgotten.
