had a direct connection with thousands of readers who
loved reading your books. And imagine if those readers
eagerly awaited the launch of your next book. How would
that direct relationship with your readers change your
writing career?
How would you feel knowing that every
time you started a new book project, you already had
people excited to buy it and ready to recommend it to
others?
In
Your First 1000 Copies, seasoned
book marketing expert Tim Grahl walks you through how
successful authors are using the online marketing tools
to build their platform, connect with readers and sell
more books.
Tim has worked with over 100 different
authors from top best sellers such as Hugh Howey, Daniel
Pink, Charles Duhigg, Chip and Dan Heath, Ramit Sethi
and Pamela Slim to authors just get started on their
first writing project. He has worked with authors across
all fiction and non-fiction genres. Along with his
client work, he has studied many other successful
authors to learn what works and what doesn't.
The

this:

your readers where you can reliably engage them and

- Content - How to use content to engage with
current readers and connect with new ones.
- Outreach - How to ethically and politely introduce
yourself to new readers.
- Sell - How all of these steps can naturally lead
to book sales without being pushy or annoying
- Track - How to use modern online tools to see
what's working and what's not working, and how to make
decisions based on data.
This is a system
that any author can immediately put in place to start
building their platform. Whether you're a seasoned
author looking to step into the new publishing
landscape, or you're a brand new author,
Your First
1000 Copies will give you the tools to connect with
