SUMMARY OF MODULE 2: PRE-PUBLICATION MARKETING MUSTS
In Module 1, I started by sharing my “Artist’s Manifesto” with you, which said that until we release our vision to the world, we are “not yet an artist, but a dreamer.” In Module 2 we begin to examine what it means to release our vision to the world, and the practical means by which we can do it. The material in this module will help you identify who your potential readers are, and give you a good working knowledge of how to use social networking, blogging and other Internet-based communication systems to identify and reach them.
NOTE: The work in this module is to be done well BEFORE your book is published—as much as a year before—depending upon how widely (and deeply) you are already known to your readers.
PRELIMINARY READING SUGGESTION
Before we begin, to get an overview of the importance of early promotion, you might first wish to read an article I wrote called “Pre-Natal Care for Your Book” on Tony Eldridge’s “Marketing Tips for Authors”. You can find that article at: http://blog.marketingtipsforauthors.com/2009/10/pre-natal-care-for-your-book-by-lynn.html
