Tips for Early Audience Engagement
#Countdown2024, Day 9: Here are three tips for engaging your reader audience early:
Create a Dedicated Hashtag:
Develop a unique hashtag for your book and use it consistently across all social media platforms. This not only creates a searchable thread for your content but also allows readers to engage with each other and share their excitement. Encourage your audience to use the hashtag when they post about your book.
Host Virtual Events:
Schedule live webinars, Q&A sessions, or virtual readings where you can discuss your book's themes, topics, and the writing experience. Make these events interactive to allow your audience to feel involved and invested in your book's journey.
Early Reviewer Program: Offer advanced reader copies (ARCs) to a select group of readers in exchange for honest reviews. This group can act as early ambassadors for your book, generating buzz and word-of-mouth recommendations that can be crucial in the early stages of a book launch.
