[@KimChance1]

Thank you so much, Alexa! I found this so informative and helpful!! Please give me all the marketing tips you've got!!

[@AlexaDonne]

Thanks Kim! OK I'm going to wrack my brain for more topics! I mean I know they exist but organizing them into a video series is the hard part haha.

I would LOVE a 360 marketing plan video! I'm so curious!

[@AlexaDonne]

I ended up making one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV6XZnqjdteendE

Alexa Donne YES!!!

Hi Alexa. I would like to see a video on a full marketing scheme. It is something I am likely to do myself and I could use some ideas and direction.

[@1MKWilliams]

This was great! I work in marketing for my day job too, but it isn't book marketing so I found this helpful!

[@CharlesWarrenOnline]

Marketing is something most writers hate, but it's THE most important part of the pie. Most do not receive big budget movies (Harry Potter) to promote our work. Yet, visibility is necessary!

[@AlexaDonne]

Yeah it's a tricky area b/c it's hard to get the balance right! And some authors just aren't naturally inclined towards it, sadly.

[@taylorcrawford603]

How did you find other authors in your genre that would be releasing around the same time as you? Love the idea of a giveaway!

[@AlexaDonne]

I pay attention to deals and release schedules! Goodreads is one good place, since many people create lists of books releasing around the same time.

Did I miss it? What are Arc give aways?

[@thanepullan]

How would you market erotca? I am also not sure if I should get a publisher or self publish, thoughts?

[@mjl1966y]

Go full Alexa... I have spent a lot of time on studying how to market a book. A lot of that time has been wasted on scams and dark alleys that don't do a damn thing. I know enough to know that I don't know enough. An Alexa plan (or even buffet) would be very well received by this author at least.

[@megankirrmann6624]

Marketing strategies.....in lieu of your publisher helping out too....it's a tough market you really have to stand out in the crowd.....

I knew you were a Racenclaw 😉 thank you so much for doing these videos.

[@kristinawrites238]

Ravenclaw even lol

[@mjl1966y]

Why is it that KZbinrs who actually sound like they know what they're talking about (like you) are the ones who don't offer their services? Can't swing a dead cat without finding somebody with the latest sales funnel strategy using it to sign me up for their ... sales funnel strategy. You sound like the real McCoy. Do you offer any kind of marketing/publicity services?

[@isabelsterling8878]

Yes! Go 360 Alexa!

[@Starboard528]

Volume is too low!
