Book Launch Plans
. . . to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.
This image shows how I feel lately. People think writing a book is hard, and it is. But, now that I’ve completed my trilogy, the editing, formatting, publishing, and marketing tasks make me wish I only had the one job to do—to write the next chapter each week.
My Publishing Plan
With WW3 threatening to kickoff, and the 70th Jubilee anniversary in 2025, I feel compelled to publish the truths that’ll help people understand the times we’re living in, and why bad things are happening in our world. People need to understand God’s plan, and how we fit into it.
Katie’s story has already changed lives, motivating people to be an overcomer, and giving them hope for the glory that God is leading his overcomers into.
My goal is to publish Book 1 as a Kindle eBook by Dec 31st. Here's the plan:
Edit and format Book 1, including the manuscript, cover design, sales copy, etc.
Recruit and organize my Launch Team to help me make the book launch a success.
Make Book 1 available for Kindle pre-order by 12/15.
My pre-launch goal: Get #1 New Release badge for my sub-genre. This is earned by people pre-ordering the book before the launch day.
By Christmas, Launch the eBook at an introductory low price on Kindle Unlimited
Get more than a dozen book reviews during launch week.
My launch week goal: Earn Best Seller badge in my sub-genres. (This only requires between 17-25 book sales for my niche genres.)
Continue selling exclusively on Kindle Unlimited for 90 days. Use targeted advertising to increase momentum.
During this time, repeat steps 1-4 for Books 2 and 3 of the trilogy.
After the 90 day period ends for each book, I’ll continue selling the book on Amazon, but not exclusively. Instead, I’ll focus my attention on selling direct from my Stand In Faith website to a global audience. My goal is to sell at least one book in every tribe in the world. This means translating the books into other languages.
. . . by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. (Revelation 5:9)
After tweaking the eBook manuscripts based on book reviews and comments, I’ll update the eBooks and then publish the trilogy in paperback and audio formats. Finally, I’ll publish the trilogy as a single hardcover book with a beautiful cover.
