WEBINAR: Digital Marketing in the Age of COVID, May 21, 2020
Who knew that people staying in their homes to avoid a global pandemic would make it so difficult to get the word out about books?
I guess we all knew. But now that we are faced with huge obstacles, like working from home while teaching our children, no bookstores, no author tours...we need to find a new way to get exposure for our titles and make the most of online sales and marketing!
Kelly Peterson, the Director of Digital Strategy at Independent Publishers Group, will be discussing all the ways you can raise your book's profile, sell more copies, and generate revenue even in this day and age. Here are some of the tools she'll discuss:
-
Turning your description and author bio into a selling machine
-
Three things your authors have to do to help sell their books
-
How to keep one customer purchasing books within your publishing house
-
How to get the most out of any discount you give
-
Why your book is more relevant than ever during COVID
Please join Bay Area Women in Publishing for this lunch-and-learn webinar. Please consider forwarding this lunch-and-learn within your publishing house as well!
