A Successful Book Launch

There are daily activities that will lead you to a successful book launch.  Notice I used the word “lead”. That means it is a process, a journey.  In this day and age, you can not expect to write a wonderful book and expect it to miraculously sell.  Today, your book’s success depends on your networking skills and your influence.

Thanks to Darren Rowse from ProBlogger for this video and list of daily activities that will build your influence.

  • Add good content to your blog, to your twitter feed and facebook page. Be a resource.
  • Connect with someone new. Don’t try to sell them, just to get to know them.
  • Improve Your Social Media Skills. Add to your own knowledge base.
  • Add to your brand. Add professional photos to your site. Bump up your blog’s style factor.
  • Grow your influence. Build a list of people who subscribe to your blog and strategically network to add to that list.

If you are a visual and auditory learner like me, watch Darren explain this in his video blog.
