getting your book ready for publicationġ. building and maintaining your email list and social media researching keywords and categories for e-tailers creating and publishing various formats (ebook, print, audio) getting bloggers/booktubers to talk about you

running Facebook ads (spent around $200k there) distributing and selling books across all online channels I think I can say with confidence that there is hardly a marketing technique for selling books online that I'm not familiar with. Most of the techniques I either developed myself or picked them up from some of the most renowned marketing gurus inside and outside the publishing world. During the last 6 years, I worked on almost all aspects of publishing, including marketing, pr and content polishing. This experience allowed me to join Inkitt, one of the fastest growing online publishing house in the world years later to lead their publishing team. While the book itself wasn't any good and I eventually stopped writing altogether, I discovered the fascinating world of self-publishing.Īfter having some first successes with my own book I started to promote books of friends and eventually went on to train and consult authors.

My journey began with writing my own book and trying to figure out how to market it. I have been a self-publishing and marketing consultant for 6 years now and helped authors to publish more than 60 books of which more than 50% reached bestseller status on Amazon.
