Impact coverI’m part of the launch team of volunteers for Ken McArthur’s book Impact: How to Get Noticed, Motivate Millions, and Make a Difference in a Noisy World.  We have meetings each Monday and work on creating buzz and notoriety for the book.  It is so wonderful to learn how to do a different kind of book launch from the inside out.

Tonight John Kremer, who wrote 1,001 Book marketing Ideas, was our special guest.  ken mcArthur is using John Kremer’s book as a guide for rolling out some aspects of the launch and he recommended it to us.  I have the book already and am picking out some strategies I want to use for my own books.

Incidentally, I have a book marketing quick tip of the week, and one of my tips is to get John Kremer’s Book Marketing Tips Newsletter.  Several of my subscribers have written to say how much they like it.  Go to John’s site for his tips.

John Kremer shared a few mistakes that many authors make in marketing their book.

  • Giving up too soon
  • Letting rejection get to them
  • Doing something they are not comfortable doing
  • getting attention that is meaningless and irrelevant to their book
  • wasting money on ineffective campaigns.

So since a lot of my readers are authors, I wanted to share those with you.
