Enthusiastically Self-Employed: business tips, marketing tips, and LinkedIn tips for coaches, consultants, speakers, authors, solopreneurs & small business owners

Here are the key takeaways from the podcast discussion about Leveraging Book Content for Effective Marketing with Pooja Arshanapally
Marketing Strategy:
• Start repurposing content on the platform where you already have the strongest presence/ROI
• Test different platforms for about a month to measure effectiveness
• Begin marketing 6-12 months before book launch to build anticipation and engagement
• Consider the book as part of your overall business strategy, not just focus on book sales
• Be consistent with posting and build relationships before pushing sales
Content Repurposing Tips:
• Break down chapters into bite-sized pieces for social media posts
• Share content that didn't make it into the book as supplemental material
• Create different formats (video, text, graphics) to reach different audience preferences
• Use square images that work across multiple platforms
• Don't worry if you've shared all the content - people prefer having it collected in book form
• Focus on one book at a time if topics are different, or combine if themes are similar
Platform Selection:
• Choose platforms based on where your target audience spends time
• Test multiple platforms but track results to determine effectiveness
• You don't have to be on every platform - focus on what works for you and your audience
• It's okay to avoid platforms you strongly dislike, but consider stepping out of your comfort zone
Content Ideas:
• Pull quotes from the book
• Share testimonials
• Create carousel posts explaining concepts
• Develop series based on individual chapters
• Share statistics and factual statements
• Include behind-the-scenes content about writing process
General Advice:
• Don't be afraid to repeat content - people appreciate repetition
• Use content repurposing to support broader business goals beyond book sales
• Build relationships with audience before pushing sales
• Treat online marketing similar to in-person networking - build relationships first
• Consider getting help with content repurposing if needed through consultation or execution services
