Launch team lift-off teaches you how to start and grow your book launch team, have them post reviews on Amazon and other retailers, and boost your release with word-of-mouth marketing.
Launch team members read the book before release. They receive advance review copies and post reviews on retailer sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, while setting clear goals.
Grow your launch team by inviting reader fans and bloggers with a clear sign-up. Use a website or Google Forms to collect data and encourage reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
Store your launch team's names and emails in an email list service to track opens and clicks and reuse templates, and reach out to inactive members from your personal email.
Coordinate launch team communications with regular lunch updates and advance ARCs to fit bloggers' schedules. Include Goodreads and other retailers' review links, plus ready-made social posts to simplify sharing.
Engage your launch team by distributing ARCs, sharing insider details, and inviting input on characters and setting. Reward participation with gifts and swag, and streamline distribution via NetGalley or BookFunnel.
Decide your launch team format and goals, create a sign-up form, and invite readers via Facebook, email, or your website to start posting reviews or sharing on social media.
Empower yourself to create and grow your launch team as a key resource for your next book launch, with resources at the ambitious author website or Mysti for questions.
Would you like to have a team of readers who are ready and eager to spread the word about your next book release? Do you struggle to get reviews for your books on Amazon? (Not to mention Goodreads, Barnes and Noble, or any of the other retailers!)
