Successful authors are more than "one trick ponies" with their book marketing programs. Most employ a strategic mix of tactics that together produce better results. It varies by genre and what you're trying to accomplish. Having clear goals from the start helps the program be more effective and conserves resources. If you want your book to be profitable, a targeted marketing program is essential to help reach target readers and convince them to buy copies. You'll also want to promote the alternate forms of your work, such as eBooks and audiobooks, with promotional materials skillfully aimed at their consumer segments.
One of the most important things is to use the online space productively. Two of the more interesting are podcasts and blogs. Both are growing up and becoming more polished. As a result, their audiences increase each year and give them more significant influence. Many bloggers have devoted fans who take their word and recommendations seriously. The same goes for some podcast hosts; when you appear, their fans become interested in your book. The internet is also based on targeted marketing, allowing you to reach highly interested niche audiences easily. When you use its power wisely, you'll benefit.
When you think about media outreach today, consider the budget cuts and audience loss many legacy outlets continue to encounter. What does it tell you? They are stretched thin, and if you can help, it will be welcomed. It opens the door for author-produced content, often in the form of topical articles, that will carry your byline with a bio. In the bio section, you can mention your book, and it instantly becomes a valuable promotional opportunity. You can produce content to replace being covered in articles in outlets where staff is overworked. It's an excellent promotional opportunity that works.
In-person appearances such as launch events and book signings are back underway in the post-pandemic world. If you want to have a broad reach, it requires travel unless you want to make virtual appearances. A hybrid model with a mix of both is often desirable and allows you to enjoy the best of all worlds. You can save in-person appearances for the most important occasions and make virtual book tour stops in other areas. It's also feasible for many more authors today to make tour stops internationally when they do them virtually. People abroad can buy books online, which helps sales.
