Annie Jennings PR specializes in proving authors with book promotion media outreach services. The services include booking on radio talk show interview in big cities and/or on the regional or nationally syndicated shows, on TV shows in local cities and of course in the major big brand media venues.
Book promotion strategies for maximum sales include securing interviews on radio talk interview shows and TV shows that include local, regional and national shows, getting your titles mentioned in article placement on high-ranking online media sites. Each of these media outlets are powerful venues. Book promotion on these media outlets allow for maximizing sales and overall publicity including creating a powerful brand. A strong brand is essential for book promotion. The potential buyer of your book will ask the question who is the author and why do I need to buy the book. Keep in mind that appearing on these “traditional” media outlets allows you to get up close and personal with a market you may not be able to reach with just your social media sharing. An effective book promotion strategy includes many “spokes in the book marketing wheel”, as Annie likes to say.
Reach people all over the USA with Annie’s media campaigns. Many people will buy anything written by an author they respect, admire and has a strong brand as they already have confidence in the author. Authors should continue to build brand consistently over time to enjoy the benefits of an established author. People will also buy past books by an author they like who carries big brand appeal.
With this book promotion strategy in mind remember to include meaningful and valuable deliverables to your readers on every page. Let your readers have access to your best advice, recommendations and strategy given your topic. Showcase your expertise and advanced expert status immediately so your readers have confidence in you right away. For book promotion for sales, if your reader is not convinced you are essential to their growth, development or desired outcome, you may not get the sale.
The quality of your brand is essential to your book promotion and book marketing strategy.

The Big Secret To Book Promotion Success – Work With A Big Brand Publicist
Sometimes working with a lesser or new book marketing or PR firm can hurt the author. Some PR firms get blacklisted by the media for unprofessional practices such as slamming the media with the same pitch over and over again. That bad reputation can extend by association to their clients. Always ask the question about how long the PR firm has been in business. This is important because of the low barrier to entry, PR firms can simply sprout up overnight. Avoid these PR firms for your marketing. They can hurt your brand.
Working with an established PR firm is the key because it takes many years to perfect the delicate yet imperative relationship between publicity firm and the media and the new firms have to earn the trust of the media. The established firms have done the hard part, that is, proving consistency and good business practices over time and have gained the respect of the media.
Safeguard your book marketing strategy or ebook promotion by making sure a strong radio talk show campaign is the foundation of your promotion strategy. Radio talk shows offer a tremendous exposure factor, is versatile and open to many different topics and is an excellent investment of your time and resources. Interviews are conducted over the telephone making it very easy for you to get promotion for yourself plus you can share your message with people everywhere, mention your title several times during the interview and enjoy lots of sales!
We also like to advise our clients to create a blog post about a socially relevant area so they can develop the skill set to being a contributor to the issues facing our nation. These are the topics the media is interested in booking. Self-published authors, print on demand authors, indie authors can all get their message heard via the Annie Jennings PR strategy. We are not concerned with who published your book. We are more interested in what you have to say to the world!
Everyone shoud have a social media presence, a Facebook page for the book, Twitter, Instagram and authors should optimize the benefits of these social media venues. Your website should have a book page along with a summary fo the book, perhaps offer a discounted book or a free ebook for singing up for your daily emails that contain tips. A lot of authors offer a free chapter of their book when visitors sign up for their email lists. If you are self publising be sure to evaluate the differences, benefits and perks of the various publishers. Here are some to review: Kobo, Self-Publishing, Reedsy,IngramSpark, Lulu, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble Press, KDP Select, Amazon Kindle, Audible, Outskirts Self Publishing,
Book Promotion On TV Shows
Appearing as a guest author on a TV talk show is excellent for exposure, name and title recognition plus the TV show usually offers a visual of your book’s cover and the title adding power to your marketing promotion. The TV show usually introduces you as the author and mentions your area of expertise. Although your appearance on the show will not be all about your book, the host will usually mention your book’s name in your introduction and perhaps show the cover as well.
Visuals work well on TV so be sure to have a high quality graphic of your cover available to send over the the producer. Sometimes the host will display the book on the set as well so be sure to bring several copies to the studio. The local shows are book friendly and the host may ask you to talk about your work as well so prepare a few sentences about your subject matter, your topic and the benefits to the reader. Also mention where your book can be purchased as well as if it is available online. When you refer to your new title in conversation, use your book’s name rather than referring to your book as “my book” – mention the title instead.
But TV shows are not easy to book. The producer must book the best guest for the show. So that leads to the question on how you become not just one of the choices but the choice for them to select as a guest. Well, if your book promotion strategy has been in play for a awhile you have some assets to leverage. The TV shows want to see a hefty media bio loaded with name brand media that has value in the media world. They want to see a demo reel – a collection of your appearances on the air showcasing you at your best. And this makes perfect sense. Why would anyone want to book someone with no or little experience? It is just too risky for their job and that job is to book the best guests and segments for the show with top quality authors who are ready to handle the pressure of being on TV.
Getting Booked On TV Shows – Be Sure To Get Media Training.
In addition to offering unlimited media training for the famous Annie Jennings PR radio talk show campaign, Annie offers Skype media training to support your TV show media bookings. It is important to have a terrific demo reel that you can use for other media placements and marketing support so this is why you first appearance matters as it sets the stage for more media.

Annie’s PR team works with you until you are confident, fabulous and prepared for the show. You will learn the nuances important to success such as when to call the host by their name, when to mention the name of your book, when to stop talking and throw the interview back to the host, read the host’s verbal cues and body language, what to say after they introduce you and how to close your interview and much more include what to wear and not wear on the show.

Five Powerful Ways To Kick Up Your Book Promotion
There are so many way to promote a book these days that many authors like to ask us ‘what are the five most powerful ways to promote by book’ that I can accomplish without a lot of stress? So here the are, the five ways to jump start your publicity without a lot of stress.
1) Prepare your publicity materials so you have them in advance. Get a jpeg of yourself and your book cover.

What’s In It For The Reader?
Also, a good author publicity tip is to understand the benefits to the reader, that is, what’s in it for them. There is a fine line in an interview between a good conversation and too much promotion. If that fine line is crossed, the audience can get that creepy advertising feeling and move away from a forming a good impression of you.
Here is a good rule of thumb. You can mention your book’s title once in the interview and again at the end of the interview especially if the host asks you to tell the audience more. This happens especially on the local TV shows so be ready for it. This is your chance to for promotion with the host leading the way.
Online Media Publicity Is Powerful For Book Publicity
Media placements in online media outlets has become a powerful way for you to sell books. Since online media is so popular with more readers able to access the major sites easily, your article might be the one they visit and share with their community offering you tremendous social media exposure. An added and significant development is that the high ranking online media outlet most likely will link back to your website positively impacting your online reputation.
As technology advances more people are using the online versions of their favorite print magazine and newspapers and the visitors on these online media outlets is substantial, with tremendous numbers of page views. The idea is to go where your market is. If they are online, be sure to have a presence in online media.
Again, working with a publicist who has the contacts within the organization to get you booked will make it a lot easier on you. Get your media assets, leverage them and achieve success. There is a fast way and a slow way to excel. The fast track is to work with a publicist with a proven history of booking the outlets you want, the slow track is to try to book yourself.
Book Promotion Using Major Print Media Placements
A quote from you in a major magazine or newspaper goes a long way to building credibility. The media outlet will usually include your name, your book’s name and perhaps the name of your company. Plus, the article copy will look great on your website’s media page as well as the logo. Annie Jennings PR recommends showcasing all of your media placements on your website. If you got it, flaunt it!
At the end of the day, the more diversified media you can obtain the better off you will be in many ways – from credibility to influence to prestige. It is not easy to get booked, that’s for sure, as there are so many authors all trying for the same outcomes. Be prepared to work hard, unless of course, you work with a publicity firm with a proven track record of booking in the media outlets where you would like to have a presence.
As a successful PR firm, we recommend authors beginning their publicity efforts by getting booked on radio talk shows then moving up the ladder to print and online. Next, comes local TV shows, then regional and if you are good fit for the national shows that can be your next level. Just never pitch unprepared. Have your tools ready such as your bio, professional photo, demo reel, book cover and a press release that tells the media more about your book. Don’t forget to review the quality of your website and how well received it will be for the producers or journalists who visit your site, as they will do. Website design has improved significantly over the years and a dated site can make a negative impression. If you are going after media, updating your website is a must have and a must do. Yes, it’s a lot and not easy. But required. Have all your ducks in a row as it’s worth it to get the booking rather than be told no after all that pitching. Make it easy for the media to say YES to you by being prepared and ready to go.
