BookTrib for Book Promotion Podcast - Show Notes
This Podcast/Substack newsletter is all about book marketing methods and ideas! I search high and low for affordable yet effective book promotion opportunities and one resource that I have discovered is BookTrib. Book Trib is somewhat like BookBub in that it has a database of book readers (over 75,000 unique monthly visitors) so their audience is an author’s target market already - ie. book readers/book buyers. BookTrib differs from BookBub in that they offer a bit more in the way of book promotion than simply a “Featured Deal.” They offer a la carte book promotion opportunities.

Remember that book promotion is part of your overall book marketing plan - the list of book promotion tasks you create BEFORE the book publishes and that you execute before, during, and after publication of your book. You can pick and choose where to spend your budgeted promotion dollars. A BookTrib program may be a possibility for your book marketing plan.

I am not an affiliate of BookTrib but I am a customer and purchased the Book Review w/ Social Media Upgrade for my audiobook that released 11.22.22, It Gets Easier and Other Lies We Tell New Mothers. I will let you know after the promotion hits in Jan-Feb how effective it is.
As with any book promotion opportunities that we cover - do your homework. Check out the site and read the reviews from other authors who have purchased the services.
