Welcome to Guerrilla Marketing for Writers
Your passion, your books, your career, your life, your ability to overcome adversity, your willingness to promote your books, and your potential as a writer and a human being are all embodied in one unique individual: you.
Guerrilla Marketing for Writers is based on the following premises:
- You want to build a successful career as an author.
- You want to sell your books to or be published by a major publisher.
- You know little or nothing about publishing and promotion.
- You want the recognition and rewards you will earn by becoming a successful author.
- You are writing adult fiction or nonfiction or children’s books.
Guerrilla marketing is not new, but Guerrilla Marketing for Writers is.
Authors have been using the techniques on this site, but this is the first time these weapons have been assembled and integrated into a comprehensive approach to selling books both to publishers and to book buyers.
The best editor, publisher, and contract can make an enormous difference in what happens to your books. But ultimately, how well you conceive, write, and promote them will be the most important factors determining their fate—long before and forever after the pub date.
Until you write your breakout book, you will have to take Theodore Roosevelt’s advice to “do what you can with what you have where you are.”
Even if your promotional budget is limitless, you still don’t want to waste money, and you still want your promotional campaign to have maximum impact.
Whatever the size of your budget, this website will help you get the biggest bang for your buck.
One goal of your promotion plan is to convince potential publishers of your commitment to your books. But you also need to prove that you’re a professional who knows what you’re doing.
The most important thing this website can do for you is hidden between the lines: inspiring you to think like an entrepreneur.
Don’t think like a writer who has something to say; think like an author who has a lifetime of books, products, and services to sell—an author who knows what it takes to make books sell and will be totally committed to doing it.
Then you will be a guerrilla marketer and an entrepreneurial author.
Hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs around the world, who started businesses of all kinds with more hope, commitment, and ability than experience, have adapted the weapons in this book to make their businesses succeed.
We are confident that if you follow our advice with all of your books, using more weapons as you go along, you will succeed. And when you do succeed, we will be there supporting you and cheering you on.
Welcome to the guerrilla family.
