How to Build Your Network

Not only do you want potential customers to know you exist, but you need to let the book industry know you exist! That’s where you can get A LOT of traction for spreading the word. 

Remember the Google search I talked about the other day? Do that! Do a Google search for how you think people will find your book. Like for me, it’s “clean dystopian sci-fi novels for teens”. When I searched that, the top 3 hits after Amazon were book reviewers. I followed their IG page, subscribed to their newsletter, checked out their YouTube and added a note for me to start talking to them on IG. I’ll make it a point to comment on their IG posts every week so I can build a relationship with them. I want to follow them for a while to see if I actually feel like we’re like-minded. When it gets closer to my release date, I’ll send them a copy of my book to review! 

Your homework this week, do your own Google search and start connecting!
