Preguntas Frecuentes
How much should an author spend on book marketing?
Self-published authors typically spend $2,000-10,000 on marketing per title. Traditionally published authors may receive $5,000-50,000 in publisher marketing support. Bestseller campaigns can cost $25,000-100,000+ combining publisher and author investment.
What is the most effective marketing for a book launch?
The most effective strategies are: building an email list pre-launch, securing media coverage and podcast appearances, Amazon advertising, social media campaigns with early reader reviews, and virtual or in-person launch events. Email marketing consistently delivers the highest conversion.
How many copies does a book need to sell to be successful?
Selling 5,000-10,000 copies is considered good for most genres. Bestseller lists typically require 5,000-10,000 copies in one week. Self-published authors can be profitable at 1,000-3,000 copies with higher royalty rates (35-70% vs 10-15% traditional).
When should book marketing start before the launch?
Begin building buzz 3-6 months before launch. Key milestones: cover reveal (3-4 months out), advance reader copies (2-3 months), media outreach (6-8 weeks), pre-order campaigns (4-6 weeks), and launch week blitz.
How much should I spend on Amazon book advertising?
Start with $10-30/day on Amazon Sponsored Products ads. Successful campaigns typically spend $500-2,000/month. ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sale) targets should be 30-50% for new releases, dropping to 15-25% as reviews build.
