Set It and Forget It: How to Automate Your eBook Promotions at Written Word Media

At Written Word Media, we understand that authors often juggle multiple responsibilities, from writing and editing to marketing and beyond. Many of you have expressed a desire for a “set it and forget it” approach to book promotions, allowing you to focus more on writing (and the myriad other things you have to focus on to become a successful author). In response, we’ve developed a streamlined process that enables you to easily schedule recurring promotions.

Why Set Up Recurring Promotions?

Consistent book promotions are key to maintaining visibility and driving sales. By scheduling recurring promotions, you can:

• Maintain Steady Visibility: Regular promotions keep your book in front of readers, increasing the likelihood of sustained sales. This is especially useful if you have a number of backlist titles that you need to keep marketing on their own schedules.
• Save Time: Automating your promotional schedule frees up valuable time for writing and other tasks.
• Plan Strategically: By planning ahead, you can align promotions with key dates, such as holidays or book anniversaries, to maximize impact.
