Story Marketing: How to Have Fun Marketing Your Fiction Book (Skillshare)

Your audience doesn’t want another email from you asking them to buy your book. But they do want to immerse themselves in a great story. In Story Marketing: How to Have Fun Marketing Your Fiction Book, you'll learn how to attract more readers by helping them further explore the characters, setting, and other aspects of your story to make them hungry for your books.

You’ll learn lots of Story Marketing ideas like:

  • Having one of your characters write an advice column answering your readers’ questions
  • Setting up a Twitter account for your character and tweeting as if you’re them
  • Sharing photos of the location where your story is set
  • Asking your readers to suggest which actors should play your characters once the book is made into a movie

In this class you'll learn the four easy steps to quickly create your own Story Marketing content that will skyrocket the number of readers passionate for your books.
Story Marketing is more enjoyable for your readers to consume. It’s more fun for you, the author, to create. It also helps you write better stories. If you’re tired of traditional book marketing and you’re ready to attract more readers, it’s time to try out Story Marketing.
Create your first piece of Story Marketing content and share it with the class (and your readers). This class with walk you through the four steps of creating your Story Marketing content.

  1. Choose your Story Marketing idea (don't worry, I share lots of ideas to get you started.)
  2. Outline your content
  3. Create your content
  4. Publish your content (and share it with the class)

You can enter the text or an image of your content within your project, or even better, share it online with your readers and then include a link in your project to the blog post, video, image, or whatever else you create. Sharing the link will give you the opportunity to attract even more readers (from within this class). Use it as a helpful marketing opportunity.
