Thanks for asking, Shirley. I do offer telephone coaching services. You can learn more here: https://buildbookbuzz.com/speaking-coaching/ (scroll down).

Hi Ms. Beckwith, I want to know if you will be available to give me some advice on marketing and publicity of my book. I really would like to use your name as a person who can advise me. I will probably have $5000. in my budget for marketing and promotion. I actually wrote my book a few years ago, but did little to promote it. I feel that I’m virtually unknown, except for my inner circle. I am in the process of cutting back on the number of pages and editing my work. I’ve no doubt that it can be very successful, even selling about 1/2 million copies or more. But I would like to launch it by September 1, 2017. I await your response. Shirley

In reply to Poppy Smith.

Poppy, that’s odd. People have replied to today’s newsletter and I’ve gotten their responses, and my e-mail address is at the bottom of every newsletter and on the about/contact page of this site.

That said…you can use the tactics taught in the Book Marketing 101 e-course to promote your book as long as it’s available for purchase — it doesn’t matter how “new” or “old” it is. The content is designed to help authors discover how to promote their books long after the launch, and long after any publisher support has faded away.

I LOVE Dollar Photo Club! It has saved me so much time while giving me such better images to work with — that’s why I became an affliate: http://www.sandrarecommends/dollarphoto . It’s fun to share tools that actually work! Sorry to hear you were disappointed with Graphicstock, though.

Feel free to e-mail me at sbATbuildbookbuzz.com if you have more questions — replace AT with @, of course!

Hi Sandra: Thank you for your great material. I tried to email you from today’s enewsletter but Word said it didn’t work. I’ve looked through your site and this seems the only way to send you an email.
One question: I have four books, one has sold over 160,000 copies in it’s 15+ years (I’m Too Young to be This Old), my latest came out in 2013 (Why Can’t He be More Like Me?). How new does a book need to be to keep promoting it with the ideas you share?

Comment: I recently signed up for $99.00 with Graphicstock.com but haven’t been totally satisfied. I checked out the Dollar site you recommend and loved what I found. Thanks for the heads up. I will look into my options.
