Book Marketing Tips from Tracey

9/6/2018

One of our authors, Tracey Warren, who wrote Six-Word Lessons for Social Media, presented a very informative workshop in July that several of our authors attended either in person or through Zoom videoconferencing. It was a fun, interactive time with a lot of discussion and sharing of ideas. Thank you so much, Tracey, for sharing your knowledge! Here are some of the ideas she shared:

Real Life Marketing
Find champions and advocates and ask them for help.
Offer book copies as door prizes at events.
Ask to be a guest on podcasts, TV and radio shows.
Send press releases out.
Ask for reviews from anyone you give a book to.
Partner with a nonprofit by giving a portion of book sale proceeds to them in return for their help.
Donate books to relevant organizations that could bring exposure/sales.
Include books for attendees when speaking and wrap the cost into your fee.
Offer free copies to waiting rooms that might bring exposure and fit your book topic

Online Marketing
Post your book in your e-mail signature line with an Amazon link
Use Amazon affiliates for extra profit
Sign up for Help a Reporter Out (HARO) and offer yourself as an expert
Guest blog with relevant partners

Social Media Marketing
Use your 100 lessons as individual posts
Use videos and blogs that Pacelli Publishing created for you on all platforms
Create graphics or smartphone photos with text for Pinterest and instagram
Ask for reviews on Linkedin, FB, etc.
Create and post graphics of Amazon reviews
Add your book as a "publication" on Linkedin

Dr. Tulinda Larsen, drone pilot and founder and CEO of Skylark Drone Research, has written and published her second book with us, Six-Word Lessons for a Trustworthy Drone Business. She shares 100 lessons on the many facets of operating a drone business, including licenses required and types of business opportunities. It also has great advice for anyone wanting to hire a drone entrepreneur for their company or project. Her first book was Six-Word Lessons for the Drone Hobbyist.

Our upcoming book is also in the drone category, Six-Word Lessons to Sell More Real Estate Using Drones, by Realtor Kevin Brennan from Maryland. Kevin was referred to us by Tulinda Larsen. It is full of great ideas on how realtors can make their listings more captivating by using drone video and photography.

Createspace is moving to Kindle Direct Publishing so please watch for e-mails from Lonnie if you are a published author with books on createspace. There will be a different process for ordering your book copies.

Let us know how we can help in any way with your book writing and publishing needs!

Author Marketing Tools

6/4/2018

We value our authors and want to help them promote, market and sell their books, so we provide them with marketing tools to help with this sometimes overwhelming task. Our Six-Word Lessons authors receive each of the tools below to help them get the word out about their book:

Video/slideshow trailer - We create this for each Six-Word Lessons book. It features 5 lessons from the book.
5 Mini-blogs - we create 5 mini-blogs for each book based on 5 lessons from the book, chosen by the author.
Posting author blogs on our website - We always have room on 6wordlessons.com for author blog posts or articles.
JPEG of book front cover - Authors use this in social media posts and on their websites to sell their book. Make it clickable and go directly to Amazon.
Author profile - Our newest marketing tool includes a photo of the author with a casual, bullet-point bio.

We encourage our authors to use all of these tools by sharing them on their own social media and websites. As well, we promote our authors' books on a rotating basis by sharing these tools on our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Six-Word Lessons is Looking for New Topics!

We are proud of our 40 Six-Word Lessons books and so appreciate our expert authors. But we are always looking for new and varied topics to add to our Six-Word Lessons series. Who do you know who might want to gain credibility in their field by writing and publishing a book to share their expertise on these topics?

Meal/Food Prep/Kids Lunches and Snacks - Help busy families and career people plan their meals to save money and time and stay healthy.
Wine Appreciation - Teach your readers to enjoy and appreciate the many facets of the wine world.
Gardening/Landscaping - Educate anyone on how to create and tend a beautiful, thriving garden, whether a balcony, community garden or a full-sized yard.

If you are someone you know might want to write on any of these topics, please have them contact us at patty@pacellipublishing.com. We would love to hear any other ideas, too--the possibilities are endless!

We are currently working on two more books on the topics of Data-Driven Business Decision-Making by Daniel Rubiolo, and Overcoming Abuse and Adversities by Rae Ann Hall.

Our First Spanish Translation Book

2/28/2018

Six-Word Lessons on Growing Up Autistic, by Trevor Pacelli, is now available in Spanish on kindle!

A friend, Daniel Hollingsworth, who serves in a leadership development ministry in Spain, recently shared with us the lack of information and resources on autism in their country. He knew we had written and published some books on the topic and asked if we would consider a Spanish translation of the books. We are thrilled to publish our first book in a second language and hope this book will help many Spanish-speaking people who are dealing with autism. Many thanks go to Dan and his highly competent and professional translator, Elizabeth Benitez of Madrid.

We are also pleased to announce the release of our 38th book in the Six-Word Lessons series! Six-Word Lessons for a Stress-Free Wedding is written by Seattle wedding planner, Jennifer Taylor, of Taylor'd Events Group. She has been helping couples plan stress-free weddings since 2004. This book includes tips on venues, ceremony protocol, reception options, etiquette and more. Knowing this information up-front can make the wedding-planning process easier, with or without the services of a wedding planner.

We are in production on a book on making the process of home mortgages easier by Lynn Reifert, and one on data-based decision-making by Daniel Rubiolo.

Please let us know how we can help you with any writing or publishing needs.
