How to Sell Books and Still Have Time for Netflix

As a new author, the prospect of book marketing can feel daunting. Between writing, editing, and self-publishing, you barely have enough time to binge your favorite shows. But fear not! There are plenty of strategic, low effort ways to boost your book sales without sacrificing precious Netflix time.

Optimize Your Amazon Presence

Amazon remains the 800 pound gorilla of book sales. Ensure your Amazon Author Central page is complete, with an engaging author bio, professional headshots, and links to your social media. Leverage Amazon's search engine optimization by incorporating relevant keywords into your book's title, subtitle, and description.

Leverage BookBub

BookBub is a powerful book discovery platform that connects readers with discounted ebooks. Apply to feature your book in their daily emails, which reach millions of voracious readers. Even a single BookBub promotion can lead to a significant sales spike.

Harness the Power of Goodreads

Goodreads is an essential hub for book lovers. Claim your author profile, join relevant genre groups, and participate in discussions. Offer giveaways of your ebook to generate reviews and buzz. You can even run targeted ad campaigns to your ideal readers.

Tap Into Influencer Marketing

Identify book bloggers, BookTubers, and Bookstagrammers who align with your genre. Pitch them on receiving an advance review copy or hosting a guest post. The endorsement from these trusted influencers can lead to a flood of new readers.

Automate Your Email List

Building an email list of engaged readers is a must. Use signup forms on your website and social media to grow your list. Then, automate a sequence of welcome emails, new release announcements, and exclusive content to keep your readers coming back.

Conclusion

By leveraging these strategic, time efficient book marketing tactics, you can boost your book's visibility and sales without sacrificing your Netflix binge sessions.
