VA for Authors: Helping Authors Promote Their Books Online

July 2nd, 2014

For Authors, For Speakers, Hiring a Virtual Assistant, Virtual Assistant Resources

As an Author, wouldn’t you rather be writing than marketing and promoting your book? You can if working with an experienced Virtual Assistant. There are a plethora of marketing and PR agencies out there that will book you — and if you have the funds, by all means, move forward.

But what are the alternatives if you’re promoting your book on a tight budget? There is always the “free” option to become something you are not; the type A personality that thrives on being their own marketer, brander, web designer, event planner, spokesperson and social media expert. In my opinion, working on marketing and promotions is not time spent on writing. If writing is your passion and your business plan for paying the bills, is this option really free or cost-effective in the long run?

we work with Authors and their budgets to develop a plan of action that will help them achieve their goals (at their pace). We don’t just free up their time; we are constantly improving our knowledge, skills and products to yield results. From figuring out technical problems and customizing a blog to reflect the look and feel of your book, to organizing book signings or a virtual book tour – a great assistant requires versatility and is most likely to know what you need, before you do.

Regardless of whether you are published, self-published, or looking to publish in the future, it is never too late or too early to start working with us. If you’ve never worked with a Virtual Assistant and have questions about the process – request your free 30-minute consultation.
