The ARC Launch Team’s main goal is to have “the book” read and reviewed shortly before the book is published. Books rank higher and get more visibility on these platforms if there are reviews… the more the merrier. And this helps with sales.
Did I mention ARC stands for Advanced Reader(s) Copy?
If you sign up, you will be contacted and sent an ebook of “the book” immediately. When the book is one week from Publication (July 14th), I will send out a message about how to leave reviews, and what you can do to help “spread the word”.
LAUNCH TEAM MARKETING - What does this involve?
Here’s a brief overview of some of the activities you can do as a member of my launch team right before launch day and soon after after (remember, this is after you have read it). And if you can’t post before, 1- 2 months after is also great:
During the “soft-launch” you will be able to pre-Buy a copy of “e-book” for 99cents and the print book at a discount. This is just for the ARC Team, around 4-7 days before public release so that reviews can be left.
Then post a review of “the book” on Amazon (and/or Goodreads)
Share details about “the book” on your social media page.(totally optional)
Post a selfie holding “the book” on social media. (totally optional)
Review the book on your personal blog or newsletter. (totally optional)
Share my feeds from Facebook/Instagram/youtube live videos with your audience. (again, totally optional - but if you enjoyed the book, let your friends know.)
Items 3-6 are all about you promoting it. If you don’t use social media, that’s Okay. You can use your contacts and send an email. I will send you an easy to follow template, that describes the book, and asks them if they would be willing to read and share/review as well.
Think of this as a “grass roots” effort to get the book out.
On that note. Who is this book for? Don’t just share with your whole contact list, narrow it down to people you think, I’m guessing women mostly, who would be interested in reading the book. Is it about an experience you think they could identify with?
You will have access to a special page on my author’s website with tools that are easy to share on social media. For example, I will offer pre-created Facebook/Instagram posts that can be added to anyone’s social media account. Or shared via email.
