Course Information
Course Overview
Build a strong foundation for your self-publishing career by learning the way professionals think about marketing.
Many self-published authors don't have a background in marketing. And yet, marketing is one of the core skills required of self-published authors looking to build a writing career.
Marketing 101 for Self-Published Authors gives you a foundational understanding of the principles upon which marketing strategies, tactics, and campaigns are built. I walk through the 4 Ps of Marketing and how they apply specifically to self-published authors.
I have over 20 years of experience in marketing, a degree in marketing, an MBA, and I've written an Amazon top selling novel. I understand how confusing marketing can get!
In Marketing 101 for Self-Published Authors, we start with the basics:
What is marketing?
What's the objective of marketing?
What are the 4 Ps of Marketing and what makes them important?
How should self-published authors address Product, Pricing, Place, and Promotion?
I cover all those things so that you can think about your self-published book marketing the same way a marketing professional assesses their own marketing strategies.
I've intentionally designed this course in a way that allows you to get a lot of information quickly. Just about every lecture is under five minutes, which means they're easily digestible. And, the quizzes allow you to test your knowledge to ensure you're learning the principles.
Plus, I really want to be helpful, so I'll be responsive to any questions you have along the way!

I love that the course was short and sweet. I'd never heard of the 4 Ps of marketing, so I gained a lot of education there. The quizzes were pretty easy, but I noticed I got tired of them toward the end and just wanted to continue with the course. Overall, I learned a lot in a small amount of time, which is amazing.
