Book Marketing Triage - A Strategic Plan for Authors
Brian Schwartz – March 10, 2020
Triage: The process of determining the most important goals, problems, and marketing objectives among many possibilities.
Knowing where to find your readers is half the battle. Once you do, it's a matter of focusing your time on the greatest areas of impact. Brian Schwartz (a full-time book marketer) will discuss what’s working and what’s not. You will walk away with a game plan of what to do next and gain a new perspective on what it takes to succeed as an author.
Brian’s Bio
Brian is a Cal Poly Grad in information technology. He is currently living in Morro Bay. He is the 'Brew Master' for TechBrew, a tech centric group that meets the 2nd Monday of each month in downtown SLO.
Brian worked for tech companies from 1994-2008. In 2008, Brian began interviewing entrepreneurs and launched a publishing company, 50 Interviews.
As publishing became disrupted by the internet (namely Amazon), authors & publishers seek to leverage the new opportunities in eBooks, print-on-demand, and internet marketing. Since 2009 Brian has worked with over 500 authors. In 2016, he launched AuthorDock and PubWriter - SAAS/Webtools for authors and small businesses.
Brian has authored two books: 50 Interviews: Entrepreneurs The Secrets of Thriving in Uncertain Times and Finding Speaking Success and was featured in Wild Ink: Successful Secrets to Writing and Publishing.
