Book Marketing Tip: How Can I Use Current Events to Promote My Book?
“How do I get media attention for my book?” The latest person to ask me that question on Facebook is still writing the book, which is the best time to start thinking about how to share the expertise you have in a way that would tantalize the media.
What book author isn’t looking for more publicity?
Here’s one of the best tips I can give you. It’s not about “I wrote a book that…” It’s about being a resource for the media!
YES – be a RESOURCE for the media.
One way to be a resource is to tie your book to current events or trends.
What’s one of the most popular books right now? 50 Shades of Grey. And who better to bring their expertise to the media than love mentors? This is a story on LoveIn90Days.com, website of Dr. Diana Kirschner, #1 best selling author of Love in 90 Days and Sealing the Deal.
The actual story came from one of the highly trained mentors who work with Dr. Diana. Current events relevant to her audience into her blog and her business inspire this post.
I retained the original article source and snipped out the parts not relevant to book marketing to keep things clear.
