Start Your Author Newsletter
An author newsletter is the best way to communicate with your readers and it will serve you for years, even if you move publishers. Let's get your newsletter started.
Do you need an author newsletter?
Your author newsletter is probably your most useful marketing tool.
Believe it or not, readers are interested in the authors behind the books as well as the books themselves.
You could talk to people on social media, but the trouble is, you're at the mercy of the ever-changing algorithms. I built my platform on Twitter ... and it disappeared almost overnight. I've never been more grateful for my newsletter.
The idea of setting up a newsletter can seem overwhelming - especially if you don't know what to say to people! That's what this course is here to help you with.
We will talk about what you want your newsletter to achieve, how to entice readers to sign up to your newsletter, and what to say to them once they do.
If you follow the exercises in the mini-course, you will end up a content calendar for the year, ideas on what you can use as a reader magnet and some top tips on how to deliver the magnet to your reader.
