Pantheon Sequel Release – The Strategy
The good news: Pantheon’s sequel is working through the editorial and publishing wickets!
The bad news: Crap, I have to market another book!
You saw how I realized my misconceptions at one and three months post release. Marketing and what’s actually valuable was a huge misconception for me. So, I spent today working through marketing strategies. What platform? How do I stay centered on The Brand? What tools do I have at my disposal? How much money can I spend? What’s the real goal here? It’s a lot of work. It’s more of that out of the box marketing and hustle I’ve discussed with both Angry Staff Officer and James Young.
I had a few ideas but the one I think I’m most proud of is also the dumbest. Truly, it’s brilliant in how dumb it is…
It’s a PowerPoint.
Because, let’s all be really honest: what’s more military than death by PowerPoint?
Therefore, 1,000% on brand, I give you your favorite Pantheon member, Captain Valerie Hall, for the OPERATION MARKET BOOK strategy briefing.
Val: Good afternoon and please be seated. I’m Captain Valerie Hall, Logistics Expediter for Limitless Logistics, and this will be your OPERATION: MARKET BOOK briefing.
Val: I will be covering the mission, elaborating risk, and seeking the Commander’s approval.
Val: We will release the sequel to Pantheon on or around Summer 2021. To ensure a smooth and exciting release –
*muffled snickers*
Val: stop snickering Damarcus! – here is the mission statement. Please note that Author Actual will ensure the largest fanbase growth from now until release.
Val: Please coordinate forces across all available social media platforms for widest audience engagement. Ensure each engagement on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook has the standard one (1) each call to action: Like, retweet/report, and follow!
Val: A strong fanbase with consistent engagement will help ensure OPERATION MARKET BOOK has a wide audience for sales.
Val: Standard PMESII+PT layout. Stay out of politics, folks! That’s not a wise choice at any time, even more so now.
Val: Engagements will be Twitter: standard. Expect we will employ new tactics, techniques, and procedures the adversary forces are not anticipating to get a leg up in the competitive field. Like, for example, silly PowerPoints by exhausted strategists.
Val: Risks are monetary and viral in nature. We have no money so we have to be creative. Going viral would be beneficial. Getting infected by a virus would not. Act wisely. Yes, James, that means no Comic Cons until after you’ve been vaccinated.
Val: Gen Martinez and Task Force Poseidon Publishing, sir, at this time I am seeking execution approval for OPERATION MARKET BOOK.
Marco: You’re approved, Val.
Val: Copy, sir. Proceeding.
Val: Questions? Contact Valerie Hall through https://authorkrpaul.com or KRPaul@authorkrpaul.com Dismissed.
Yes. I’m a huge nerd. Yes, I’m extremely comfortable with it.
I also know you all are going to LOVE this next book! If you’re a beta reader, you’ll see it soon. If you’re an Advanced Reader, you’ll see it not long after the beta team tears it up and I make my fixes. And everyone else will see it this summer!
