Feel free to leave us a review 🙂Think posting your book cover is marketing? We’re flipping that script and walking through the real engine that moves copies: a sharp message, a defined reader, and a plan that builds demand before launch day. I dig into why branding must lead every publishing decision, from your title and cover to the way you show up online, and how that clarity turns strangers into readers who feel seen.We break down a practical launch runway that mirrors film marketing: preorders, teasers, live Q&As, sample pages, and content pillars tied to your core themes. I share where to invest your energy—an email list that you own, Threads communities full of engaged black authors and readers, and TikTok pockets that love niche stories. You’ll learn how to turn engagement into momentum with simple, repeatable cadences instead of last-minute posts that vanish in the feed.Distribution matters, but it isn’t a silver bullet. I explain the difference between global online distribution that gets you listed on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and library catalogs, and in-store placement that requires proven demand to keep you on shelves. We get tactical about calling stores, equipping managers with a one-sheet, and using independent bookstores to build real relationships with local readers. If you’ve ever asked, “How do I sell more books?” this conversation gives you the checklist and the mindset to stop begging for sales and start leading your audience to a message that resonates.If this helped, subscribe, share with a fellow author, and leave a quick review telling me the one strategy you’ll implement this week.
