In a recent training segment entitled ‘Book Marketing: How People Buy Books Today’, Don McCauley states that inbound marketing strategies can prove to be the most powerful methods for creating new and ongoing sales for authors of books. Inbound marketing requires a different approach to create success. but is the key concept in understanding how and why people buy books in today’s book marketing model.
“The key to success,” McCauley stated, “lies in the strategy used to create awareness of a particular work within a targeted group of potential buyers.”
In the training segment he clearly demonstrates that inbound strategies are key to getting in front of that slice of the target market that has already made a purchasing decision.
But the primary reason many authors fail in regards to their book marketing efforts McCauley believes lies in the overall book marketing strategy employed.
“The old school, ‘yell, tell and sell’ push marketing approach,” McCauley stated, “usually takes a very long time, a lot of effort and a good deal of luck to create success. Using that strategy the seller ends up chasing buyers, hoping to find those who might want to buy. The days of the interruptive, intrusive, outbound advertising style message are gone. And they clearly do not work.”
