Plan With Me (12 Month Book/Brand Marketing Plan)

[@KateCavanaugh]

AHHHH ONE LAST MONTH!!! So exciting! That 12-month wall calendar is so cool. I love being able to see the whole year at a glance! It really helps see the forest vs. the trees bahaha. A thousand to five thousand free downloads each month is INCREDIBLE. And you have such an awesome back catalog that I'm sure it helps convert! OMG Garden Grove!!! I LOVE IT. And the Reading Alcove? STAHP. Those are such great ideas for the newsletter!!! I absolutely love other people's newsletters...maybe...eventually...I'll learn how to actually send one regularly myself lolol. Also lol at the scheduled "days out of the house." Honestly I need to find something where I can do the same!! I know we're almost halfway through this year but seeing "2025" so many places was a jump scare bahah. LIKE WHAT. HOW. 😂💀 You have so many great ideas here and it was incredibly satisfying to watch you fill out the calendar!

Thank you!! And right? I can't believe how fast it went!!! And yeah, since my books are all on KU, doing Freebooksy is worth it every time. I think before when I was Wide it wasn't as worth it because it relied on sales. But with KU if they missed the free download, they end up reading it for free there. At least that's what happened with the last two books I've done. We'll see how this month's one goes! And even writing 2025 gave me a heart attack hahahaha!!!

I’m so excited for you!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you, Regina!!!!

I always look forward to seeing a new Becca video in my feed! I'm excited to see your plans in action. I really need to learn more about marketing, getting started and knowing where to start is something I struggle with. Congratulations on getting to the end of your program, I'm so happy for and proud of you. I'm loving the new sections in your newsletter, they sound like so much fun. Creating sprayed edges takes a little trial and error but it's a lot of fun. I've also done some hand painted edges on a notebook of mine which was fun as well. Next I want to try gilding some edges. I've heard that gold paint works, but I'd like to try it the "right" way (I hate that phrase, lol). I can't wait to see what you have planned!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you, Cass!!!! And I would love to get into doing more fancy things with edging as well. My next goal is using my cricut for stenciling. I really love having fun crafting side projects lol!

[@ChaosInSpace]

Cannot believe how fast time flies!! congrats on being almost dine with your masters!!! love the way you planned stuff out, it reminded me I've really been needing to do the same lately to try get on top of everything! Super pumped to see what's next for you!!! 🥰🎉

[@BeccaCSmith]

Right!! A year went by in a flash! I can't believe I only have 3 weeks left of school! Like what?? And yes!! I can't believe how much it's helped me so far! And I stress 'so far' hahahahaha!

[@reginaduke7451]

Oh I love your hair short!❤

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you, Regina!!! It's pretty fried from getting it back to blonde, but it'll grow out eventually hahahaha!

[@ShayWithThaHobbies]

So I feel like I need to do something like this just to get used to posting regularly on things. I've finally got used to posting once a week on the blog but I have yet to get through even posting once a week on IG or YT longer than a couple of months. It is sooooo hard. Lol Also, so proud of you for this Masters degree! You're sooooo close!!!! Yayyyyyy! Can't wait to see the progress on this marketing plan!!!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Yessss!! I'm loving it! And you know how stressful life has been for me lately. But having that calendar next to me somehow makes it feel feasible. I'm shocked at how well it's working for me! And thank you!!!!!! Love you!!!!

[@SherryLipp]

Oh wow! One more class! Your marketing plan looks great so far.

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you, Sherry!!!!

[@Danielle2Cats]

Great. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you!!

[@ISOShakespeare]

Great content! Just what I needed to start planning my own Book/Brand marketing plan. There are so many 'hot to plot your novel' videos, but hardly any actual 'plan your marketing' videos without hyping a class that you have to buy in order to get any useful ideas. Thanks for the inspiration, Becca!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you!! And yessss! It helped me so much! Just to have that focus even if I end up changing it has me feeling so much lighter. At first I thought it would make me overwhelmed, but it really did just the opposite!!

[@jordanobrien8915]

Hoyl moly, that time feels like it flew! Congratulations on nearly completing your Masters!!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Right!! I can't believe how fast it went!! And thank you!!!!

[@isabellajuanitalyn]

This is so cool and really inspiring! All the best of luck in completing your Masters!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@shannonreadsandwrites]

I love the ideas for your newsletter! I've fallen off the writing train in a big way and really need to get back to it. Congrats on finishing your Master's degree!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you, Shannon!!! And lol! I know jumping off that all too well hahaha!!

[@RAHowes]

Goodluck!

[@LiselleSambury]

So interesting to see you do this! And listening to you chat about all your plans , and the themes of your brand

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you!! Yeah, it's an on-going journey lol! But luckily my last class is super focused on branding and scheduling so I've already updated it since. It feels good to finally get fully organized when it comes to marketing hahaha!

[@LiselleSambury]

@@BeccaCSmith amazing! The classes seem to have been really paying off

[@BeccaCSmith]

​@@LiselleSambury They really have! If anything, just to keep me focused. I'm hoping after graduation I can keep it up lol!

[@AbiofPellinor]

This is such an exciting next step!!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you!! I'm loving it so much so far!!

[@LedgerAndLace]

I just rearranged my office and moved my giant (3'X4') white board to a different wall. I also wrote 3"X4" for a Spinal Tap reference. "Well, you're not as confused as Nigel, are you?" Hahahaha Sometimes I am. Congrats on almost finishing school! 🙂

[@BeccaCSmith]

Hahahaha!! I love that!!! Now I have Stonehenge stuck in my head lol! And thank you!!!

[@MargaretPinard]

Great time-lapse--have not tried that ever yet 😅

[@BeccaCSmith]

[@MargaretPinard]

Ah yes, Memory, so reliable... Do you know the song, "Try to Remember" from the Fantasticks?? 😆👏

[@BeccaCSmith]

Hahahaha!!

[@heathermattern]

Love this and I need to do the same!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Yesssss!!! I can't tell you how much it's been helping!! I love it so much!

[@AMG_Creates]

Will it be easier now that it's up and you can see it? It'll be interesting to see how this works for you, how you grow with it and if you move things around.

[@BeccaCSmith]

It's helped so much!! I love being able to see things at a glance. It's made things a lot less daunting!

[@RAHowes]

Goodluck!

[@BeccaCSmith]

Thank you, Rene!!!
