  • I hit the beach today to tell you about all the fun stuff I have coming for authors. First up is the free Facebook Ad Image Workshop. I'm going to share a simple method anyone can follow to turn your book cover into a winning Facebook Ad.
    We'll cover some of the changes to the platform, a little bit of buyer psychology, and how to communicate your genre with an ad image so you can find your ideal readers. And you can find out how to get your book featured too!
    SUBSCRIBE: ua-cam.com/users/davidgaughran?s...
    And you can grab all those freebies I spoke about by signing up to my book marketing newsletter, which goes out each Friday: davidgaughran.com/newsletter

    Just when I’m getting ready to start marketing a new series. You’re a gem. And you keep making me want to visit Portugal, which isn’t a bad thing either.

    Two thumbs up, David. Discovered you only recently but immediately liked what you share and appreciated it that you share it. As for videos to promote books, per happenstance -- if anything like that exists -- I came across John Kremer, also known to have helped marketing over one billion book copies and see how he uses videos. This inspired me to create book trailers and book scenes to which I added score and SFX to the text over the images in motion only to get feedback such as this by a younger filmmaker colleague: "For the first time in my life I discovered that I like to read." It is fairly easy to create clips even avoiding templates to retain the originality of a book. "Que legal," they would comment in Brazil and I bet in Portugal, meaning "cool."

    Still spilling all the secrets for free, I see. That's why I've admired and respected you going on 15+ years now (time:omg). Also, what an awesome coast! *envy* Hope the new house and office work out splendidly. I'm totally out of the pub game now, but I'll be following your vids just as religiously as I follow your newsletter. So good to see you here again! I've truly missed you.

    Have you ever tried video-based ads? I've heard lots of people getting results on those, but I almost find it hard to believe 😅

    • @DavidGaughran
      @DavidGaughran  17 днів тому +2

      I find value in them but it's a more advanced strategy for experienced advertisers IMO

    • @DavidGaughran
      @DavidGaughran  17 днів тому +4

      The advanced strategy, in short, involves running an Engagement campaign optimized for video views to a colder, broader and cheaper audience, with no hard sell at all, just interesting content, then creating a Custom Audience from those who engage, and then remarketing with a harder sell Traffic campaign pointing at Amazon or perhaps a leadgen ad, depending. But that's for more experienced advertiser's as it has a few extra steps.
