Book Signing Event Tips

[@samuelharris9681]

This was dope!!! Love it

[@rachelrobertson7353]

Book signings are possible again!!! So incredibly exciting!! There are several events coming to my local Barnes and Noble in the next few months that I can’t WAIT for!! PS. My wife is always telling me I have too many tabs open on my phone too. :-P

[@BookLaunchers]

hahaha thank you for making me feel better .... I just looked and I have 45. I am excited for more IRL things again too - especially the little events that are at Saturday markets and bookstores. It will be more expensive for me though ... in December the outdoor market in downtown Summerlin had this amazing bookstore featured and I spent $100 on books!

[@towandacoleman1260]

Was so good enjoy

Thank you! I found this video very informative.

[@BookLaunchers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LindaKLee]

Hey Julie!

[@SelfPubWithAndy]

I had no idea there was stuff to do ahead of book signings, great video!😎

[@BookLaunchers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@authorangelamholmes8455]

This was helpful!!!

[@BookLaunchers]

By the way, if you’re ready to market a book our Gameplan for selling 1000 books with less than $100 is a great way to start planning your book marketing. You can download that for free at www.booklaunchers.com/gameplan

[@pawsnanna8389]

Thank you!

[@BookLaunchers]

You're welcome!

[@shncosplay]

Wonderful video

[@valeriecantella]

Thanks Julie! Great timing as my first book event is in three weeks, so these are helpful tips. I might also add that people need a cash box, change, and any other way they take payment. 😊

[@BookLaunchers]

Oh yes!! Good idea. These days all my payments have been electronic but, you're right, when I've sold books with cash that was needed!! Thank you so much.

[@BookLaunchers]

Good luck!!

[@AlyssaMatesic]

I know I'm excited to see author events in person again, soon, so this is a very timely video!

[@BookLaunchers]

I've done some live events in the last 4 months and even with masks and distancing they have been SO FUN!!

[@LindaKLee]

Great Video! I have done booksignings before, but I believe in starting over fresh and new so this video was great for me to to sit & jot down these wonderful tips.📚📚☺️

[@BookLaunchers]

Thank you! :) Happy Friday to you.

[@LindaKLee]

Hey Julie I feel so special when I saw my name up in the video!!

[@BookLaunchers]

Glad you saw it. :) Thank you for being a bestie.

[@overtonduncan378]

Thanks, great video

[@BookLaunchers]

You're welcome!! If you have a non-fiction book written and you’re looking at launch or post-launch marketing support, this is the book to read for that: selfpromoteandsucceed.com/ And you can even get it free in audio format here: selfpromoteandsucceed.com/audio

[@beelinebill]

Julie, this is a great video and truly provides the "list" of what you need to do for a book signing or sale at any event! I think you should get coasters as #NBB swag, my guess is we'd all love them! I have purchased the silicone ones (for tradeshows) that can double as a bottle opener, hold your drinks on the pull town table on planes, and are super thin! Also, thanks for the "shoutout" as a YT "bestie" - I love your videos and the learning from your videos!

[@BookLaunchers]

Oh that is a wonderful idea! It actually is on my list to investigate next week as I just ordered new booth materials and, again, have a white table cloth. :) Where'd you order yours from?

[@beelinebill]

And the lime green was the color that I got, as it was for a company that had a green product! I kept a few and keep them in suitcases, backpack and next to my computer!

[@catlind2649]

Wow, I can't believe event booths never even entered my mind as a means of promoting my book. I guess with COVID, I've subconsciously removed most in-person options. Have to say, I was rather surprised and very tickled to see my name on the bestie list!

[@BookLaunchers]

Woohoo!! :)

[@novahiuser3883]

Hi!!! Julie I wanted to ask can you please make a video on amazon charts(Most Read/ Most Sold) and the normal bestseller list?????? Please reply to me. I will be highly obliged

[@BookLaunchers]

Have you seen this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKS5nqymj66kgM0

[@stephentucker614]

I am 100% new to every aspect of this. I've been working on a journal myself and recently thought to have it made into a book. Do you know a good place to have them binded ? Also, how do you get a book out there ? Thanks in advanced, I really enjoyed the video!

[@BookLaunchers]

Thank you so much for saying hello! There's a lot to your questions and I think my book might be the perfect place to start. If you liked this video you will LOVE my new book: Self-Publish and Succeed. You can grab it here: books2read.com/ap/RDOjGr/Julie-Broad
 Hope to see you again soon!

[@jaredwjackson]

Thanks for the video. I'm getting ready to publish my second book, and my book signings have been going incredibly well. However, I know I can always do better with my events. What is a "speaker one" that you mentioned in your video? Also, you mentioned putting your book cover on the vertical banner. Doesn't that mean you have to shell out another $100 or more for another sign when your next book comes out? What kind of referrals do you recommend to put on the sign? Thanks!

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

It dosen’t matter how you say it if an album total 🟰 duration is about 29:25 and it has about 10 chapters it would considered a mini book 📕 📖 📚 but an album that has 8 chapters and the total 🟰 duration is about 49:37 it would consider as a full book 📖 📕 📚 to me it dosen’t matter how long or short the albums are but in my preference albums are books 📖 📚 📕.

[@MichaelAlperstein]

Thank you so much for your positive energy and great tips! I'm really glad I discovered your channel. A quick question: In one of your older videos you suggested making a logo and a publishing house name. That makes total sense. But I wonder if that changes the way one files taxes or registers a business? Can you still just be you and file an individual return, even though it doesn't look like you are "independently published?"

[@BookLaunchers]

Your fictitious business goes underneath however you file - so personal taxes would just add the income and deduct the expenses. It's the same with the business. My company actually has several DBAs that operate under the C-Corp Name. It's easier than you think. You do need to set up the name with the bank for deposits though ... again it's easy to do after you have filed the paperwork for the DBA.

[@MichaelAlperstein]

@@BookLaunchers Okay. Thank you so much!

[@nikkik2648]

Can you put a link for the plastic display stand shelf you recommend?

[@BookLaunchers]

I just took a look and don't see it. I think I got it at Staples but I don't see it. What we do now is take a white table cloth and cover a box and then place the books all around it with some little book stands.

[@StevenSeril]

I'm scared my crazy ex is gonna find me at one of these book signings though. She's gonna hack a hole through the door, shove her face in it and say, "Heeeeere's Debby!" as I shrink into the corner with a baseball bat and a copy of my book and metallic silver Sharpie.

[@BookLaunchers]

WOAH!!!! That's a book right there ...

[@RobinWalton-nz3me]

This is so helpful. Would you be able to read my book at give me feedback? I will send for

[@hendricarose849]

For those of you watching this video my prayer is that you ALL come to know JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH as your LORD AND SAVIOR. ROMANS 10:9 say that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that GOD raised JESUS from the dead we will be saved.
