Why start marketing before the book is done

Did you know that the average person sees an ad 7 times before they even think about taking an action? I didn’t say *buy* something, but take action. That action could be signing up for a newsletter, following the account on social media, or commenting on the post you’ve written. And it can take up to another 13 more views after that before they buy. 

You want to start marketing your book 6 months prior to the release date. This will allow you time to get your book in front of your audience hopefully at least 20 times before it’s available to purchase.  

First steps of marketing: 

1. Buy a domain for your website. 
2. Create a website
3. Create a professional email for people to contact you
4. Create accounts on social media
5. Decide if you’re going to do a podcast
6. Decide if you want to start a newsletter
