{OMIFA} Does your book marketing feel like a hot mess?

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Let’s be real...
​
​Book marketing can feel like a hot mess.

One day, someone says you have to be on TikTok. The next, they’re telling you to run ads. And somehow, you’re supposed to do all of this while still writing books?!

No wonder it feels overwhelming.

Here’s the thing -

⭐️ I'm excited about welcoming our newest members into the Indie Fiction Authors Marketing Momentum Membership. ​

⭐️ I ask the IFAMMM members which topics would be the most helpful for their monthly marketing workshop, and it looks like The First 100 Readers Blueprint: How to go from 0 readers to 100 engaged fans is the winner for March. If you're interested in learning more, stay tuned.

⭐️ You can catch my free class ➡️ Marketing Myths Busted: 5 Simple Shifts to Reach More Readers & Sell More Books to help you alleviate your most common frustrations once and for all here.​

Ok, that's all for now. Hope all is well in your world!

Cheers,
Alicia
