7 Book Marketing Do’s – Don’ts

1.      You must be committed to marketing. You have to work at it and have a plan and keep pushing.

2.      You need to invest time, money, and resources into it.

3.      You should have a consistent, comprehensive approach, but allow for diversification, experimentation, and taking a risk.

4.      Don’t let your ego or crazy expectations get in the way of you doing the heavy lifting.  Success rarely comes to those who don’t expect it, but merely expecting or demanding it to happen does not automatically make it so.

5.      You make certain associations, estimates and forecasts out of real facts and/or hope. Once you start to measure results of various initiatives, recalibrate, and shift to the areas that now seem to be more lucrative and productive.

6.      Do the core basics to deliver success but also do a few “wow” moments – find the stunt, cool partnership, or big event  that gives you a chance at making a breakthrough. The odds might be against you, but you need to explore opportunities that, if successful, will greatly and quickly advance your career.

7.      Seek out those who also think like you, who want to have a breakthrough moment -- and find a way to partner with them. Just remember there are many others like you, but few may take the same steps or think the same way as you. Do what others don’t, and do it first, better, cheaper, faster than those that do.
