How do you set up a pre-order for your book? I’ll show you how to do that on the major self-publishing platforms today.
Today, I’m just showing you where the pre-order buttons are. So if you want to see the full upload tutorials, pause and go check those out. If you just want to see that you can do a pre-order or just looking for those buttons right now as you are uploading, that’s what I’ll show you today.
Okay, so that is how you schedule those pre-orders for your books. Simple, right? Now you have to market that date to everyone! That is the number one thing that I see authors do wrong when they elect to schedule a pre-order. They don’t tell anyone. The whole point of the pre-order is to drive excitement, engagement, and book sales. You gotta tell people about.
Speaking of which…
Author Your Ambition: The Complete Self-Publishing Workbook for First-Time Authors is available now on Pre-Order from the mainstream retailers, or you can buy it directly from me, right now.
Or you can pre-order it from the usual places until JAN 10 at which time it will be available for sale as you would regularly do. Why pre-order?
If you want the print version
It helps the different retailers know that people want the book and they can recommend it to others who may need this help
Everyone who pre-orders and sends me their proof of purchase to authoryourambition at gmail dot com will be entered to win a signed copy of my Author Your Ambition Collection (Books 1-4) AND a 1 hour 1-on-1 coaching session with me. So that is one lucky winner. But, that doesn’t seem fair that only one person gets something. So...
The first 10 people to send their proof of purchase will be invited to an exclusive live Q&A with me. I only do these once a month for my channel members but in January I’ll be doing a second one for these 10 first-to-preorder folks.
Okay? Excited? Ready?
