When authors launch a book, whom do they consult with for
guidance and advice?
Likely, just people close to them — a spouse, sibling, parent or adult child, perhaps.
Maybe they confide in some friends or work colleagues. Most do not get
one-on-one professional advice. Why?
Why don’t they hire a pro for guidance?
It Costs Money — and too many authors are penny wise and pound
foolish.
Lack Convenience — they have no time (and too lazy) to go somewhere to
seek help.
Attend A Webinar/Conference — they may attend a group setting online or in-person
at a nearby event, but they are not interacting one-on-one with a trained
professional who is focused just on the author’s book.
Watch A YouTube Video or Read A Blog Post — sure, one can get free advice but you need to know
where to go, whom to trust, and you must feel that you learned enough to do
things correctly on your own.
Every author would benefit from a number of
personal, targeted, focused, and customized consultations on strategy and the
execution of a solid book marketing plan.
Too many mistakes, a lack of knowledge, and bad
timing can conspire to do a book in and leave an author heart broken — and
poorer in the wallet.
I highly recommend that authors seek the help of
a trained, experienced, and savvy book marketing coach. Hint, hint!
