Book Marketing

Ever show up at a party without knowing a single person? Flailing to figure out where to stand, what to do and, most importantly, where the bar was? Yeah, so have we. Well Tribal Author’s not like that. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You’ve found your way here, which means…you’re already in the tribe. What tribe is that?

The kick-ass Tribal Author book marketing tribe.

Many of us are authors or aspiring authors and writers. Others are marketers, publicists, book doctors and, yup, there may even be a handful of really savvy editors and publishers lurking in the shadows. Our purpose is fivefold, to:

• Open your eyes to the massive change that’s happening in the world of book marketing
• Bust a lot of myths, expose scams and stop you from throwing thousands of dollars away
• Help you understand how to get the biggest advance possible or self-publish and actually make money
• Reveal how to mine the online world to sell a boatload of books, even in this economy,
• Lay out a variety of nontraditional paths to publishing and share industry news,
• Help you reclaim control over you career, income and fate of your books.

So, where should you begin?

Step 1: Start with our Truth About Book Marketing report.

You can find it here as a monster collection of blog posts, but honestly, it’s way easier to read if you just subscribe to our Tribal Author Newsletter (top right) and get the whole thing delivered to your inbox as a 29-page PDF document (waaay easier to read). And, when you subscribe (seriously, it’s free), you also get every post from this website delivered to your inbox, along with certain “subscriber-only” book marketing resources, outlines and mindmaps.

Step 2: Become a Regular.

Book marketing is evolving at breakneck speed these days. What worked last year, especially if it was online, won’t necessarily work this year. We’ll do our best to track what’s happening, digest it into the 10% that really matters, then share at least bits of it with you here. So, even if you don’t subscribe, stop in once a week to see what new insights, resources and other stuff we’ve posted.

Step 3: Arm Yourself to Reclaim Your Own Author’s Journey at Tribal Author Camp

Throughout the year, we’ll be offering a handful of private events designed to teach you how to not only sell a lot more books (self-published or traditional), but set yourself up with way more control over the process and build your own portable tribe of readers, evangelists and marketing partners. And, btw the next Tribal Author Camps will be in Los Angeles and NYC and there’s only room for 50 people, so check them out now if you want in.
