A Bare Bones Guide to Marketing Self Published Books
You wrote the book - now let's get it found.

The Bare Bones Guide to Marketing Self Published Books is filled with real talk, real strategy and real alignment.

You don't need a massive audience, fancy ads or a marketing degree to sell your self published book.

The Bare Bones Guide to Marketing Your Self Published Books isn't your typical "top 10 tips to boost book sales" manual. It's an unfiltered, strategic and emotionally honest guide for indie authors who want to sell their books with integrity, stay true to their vision and stop begging for attention from people who were never their audience to begin with.

Inside you'll learn:
How to align your book marketing with your actual goals (not someone else's idea of success)
Why trying to sell your book to family and friends is often a waste of energy—and what to do instead
How to survive negative reviews, disappointing sales and the emotional burnout that can follow
Practical ways to reach your ideal readers
How to use categories, keywords and visibility strategies that don't feel like total cringe
How to build momentum over time without resorting to gimmicks or selling your soul

This is for you if:
You've self published (or are about to) and feel overwhelmed by marketing
You want to sell books without turning into a full time content machine
You're disheartened by silence or skepticism from your inner circle
You care about connecting with the right readers not chasing mass approval
You're ready for a strategy that matches your values, energy and bigger vision

This is not another hype-filled marketing book. It's a bare bones strategy for real people doing creative work. Whether you're trying to revive a book that stalled or planning your first launch, this guide will help you tune out the noise, focus on what matters and market in a way that actually feels good.

Click Buy Now and learn how to market your book with clarity, courage and connection.

If you read down this far in the description, what I know about marketing works. Let me help you bring that vision board to life.
