Who is Melanie Herschorn?
Melanie is a Book Marketing Strategist, which she describes as someone who bridges the gap between publishing and publicity.
“A lot of times, people get really in the weeds about creating their book, and I know because my book is coming out soon to. They often go, “now that my book’s out, I need a publicist.” The publicist would say that they will give you all these great things, but if there’s no online presence or the messaging is confusing, people aren’t going to buy your book because they’re not gonna trust you.” – Melanie Herschorn
That’s where Melanie comes in, to fix the messaging and help establish a proper online presence, so your book reaches its target audience and gain traction in the online space.
Continuity is Important
Jaime brings up the topic of continuity, and that you often see ads on Facebook, and when you click on them, you see that the ad and the website have different color schemes or overall feel to it. This ends up with the website having to re-establish trust all over again.
Melanie agrees, and adds that there must be consistency in everything you do online for your branding.
“I call consistency the ‘granny panties’ of content marketing, because it’s so unsexy, and neither is being consistent online. But it’s so necessary; it is what’s going to take you that distance. It’s constantly showing up with continued messaging and making sure that the messaging is the same here and there that no matter where somebody finds you online, they understand what it is that you do.” – Melanie Herschorn
The Journey is Important
The conversation then turns to book writing, and how sharing the journey of writing the book could also be good for marketing its brand.
Melanie adds that most authors only start promoting their books after it has been written or published. But they could actually start sharing bits and pieces about the thought process of writing parts of the book, just to give your followers and potential readers a feeling of being part of the journey of having this book written. It also raises anticipation for the book, as they are now curious how the parts you have revealed or hinted upon will play out.
