365 Days of Actionable Book Marketing: Evergreen Posts, Re-title Blog Posts, 100+ Search Terms for Amazon Keyword Ads

January 29, 2017 by Daniella Brodsky Leave a Comment

This week in 365 Days of Actionable Book Marketing, we are on a keyword roll…tweaking blog posts, growing amazon ad keyword lists, and even re-titling to get those keywords in there.

Some New Search Terms for my Amazon Keyword Ads

 

Tweak and refresh your best evergreen posts to boost perpetual traffic. A huge chunk of website traffic comes from “hero posts” according to the Digital Marketing Podcast. So go back and tweak yours to be SEO-friendly, using the Yoast tips on your wordpress backend. Update with new, more relevant best-practice links, then re-send it out multiple times on twitter and fb, using relevant hashtags, so the right people will find you, to get more traction. Make sure to contact people you’ve referred to and ask them to pass on the link in order to get more backlinks. Check out this post that I made changes to: http://daniellabrodsky.com/2016/01/complete-kdp-select-launch-strategy/.

Some of my Google keyword rankings from semrush

Wow! Beginning a new year is always such a rocket boost for my business ventures. Since I wrote my year-end post it’s felt like a cobweb clear-out. I’ve had such a renewed energy to bring to all things book marketing. Here are a few actionable book marketing initiatives you can run with: Get Reviews, SEO, Leadboxes, Keywords, Google Rankings, and more.

365 Days Of Actionable Book Marketing: New Year’s Edition

December 25, 2016 by Daniella Brodsky Leave a Comment

I’ll say it right up front: I was nervous for this particularly personal post about marketing for self published authors. 365 days ago, I made it my public mission to complete one actionable book marketing initiative per day, all year long. I will say this: I worked my butt off. I did more marketing than I’ve ever done before. I wrote more blog posts than I’ve ever written before. I got more twitter and FB followers, grew my mailing list to over 1K, rebranded all my books, and learned how to use incredible platforms like Mailchimp, Instafreebie, and Bookfunnel. I sold more books. I took courses, found new information sources and made new contacts. And now I’m set to turn 365 Days of Actionable Book Marketing into a book and a podcast for 2017. But I did NOT achieve my original mission.

I cannot believe I am typing these words: MY BOOKBUB PROMO WAS ACCEPTED! Absolute insanity. Wow; I’m going to try not to get ahead of myself here. This is big. I need to calm down and make the most of it. So—need to update back matter for The Patrons so it’s link to my other books and to my signup list, get my iBooks page up for On Fire (which means I need to get my ISBN going), and try to finish transcribing On Fire as quickly as humanly possible. Trying to get the rights back to my most obvious next read after THE PATRONS, which is VIVIAN RISING, so I can link it in the back matter. I’ve been putting this off for ages, so I feel sense of accomplishment at getting this request in. Daughter accidentally smashed phone last night; hour on the line with apple, but managed to save over $100 to get a replacement. After that, washing machine flood. Two steps forward . . .

Here’s the newest installDeathtoStock_tabletXandXcomputerment (interesting blog about this word) of my mission to execute one marketing strategy per day for 30 days. To see the earlier post, click here.

Thurs 7:30pm
Exhausted. Daughter talking to me nonstop about Fireman Sam while I try to do my one action. It’s a small one, took forever, but it’s done: I added a few more tags to a few more posts about my recent blog to get extra visibility.

Action One New Marketing Initiative Per Day for 30 Days

January 5, 2016 by Daniella Brodsky Leave a Comment

DeathtoStock_mobileXandXtabletIt’s 2016; I’ve talked enough about how I’m going to boost my book sales income this year and the time has come to see if I can make this a reality. If I don’t, I’m going to get a proper full-timer in 2017. So, a lot riding on this; need to jump right in. Thought I would start off with a bang. So, I set myself on a mission to execute one marketing strategy per day for 30 days. Sure, I dabble, research, listen to insightful podcasts, but how much action do I actually take in my marketing efforts? It’s a new year, I’ve moved house, and it’s time to start some new routines that finally shift my self-publishing efforts into the next gear. I know I’m not alone here in wishing I could do more and feeling like all my busyness should be accomplishing something. But it’s time to face facts: what am I actually accomplishing? Completing? Putting out there? Not as much as I could with a quota plan built on sheer numbers. I made it simple:  Action One New Marketing Strategy Per Day for 30 Days. In writing it down and sharing it with my peers I hope to both make myself accountable and inspire you to get moving, and share some concrete results on my efforts. Along the way, maybe we’ll all see what it takes to really get this self-publishing thing into income-generating territory. So, I’ll be blogging here throughout the month to report on my daily marketing actionables. Here’s to starting the year off growing my publishing income . . .
