In episode 45,  Chris and Becca debunk three of the biggest book marketing myths authors believe.

Show Notes & Links:

-Chris is the good cop, Becca is the bad cop. 

-Reasons why authors need to be careful when they copy the promotions of other authors and expect the same results

-Is it true that once you get a traditional publishing contract you never have to do any marketing (whew).

-Why the traditional publishing sales cycle is not geared to long term sales

-What publishers cannot do: forge relationships between authors and readers.

-Just because social media doesn't sell as many books as Amazon does not mean it doesn't sell books.

-Why authors should not waste their time on social media channels that are not wired to sell products. 

-Why you should separate your personal social media time from your book marketing social media time.
