Promoting Your Books on Podcasts with Jay Hall
Most authors didn't sign up to be marketing experts, but that's what we've had to become in the current publishing landscape. In this interactive session, you'll learn about using podcast appearances to promote your book to listeners all over the world. We'll walk through pitching to podcasters and everything you need to know about appearing on podcasts to give you a new set of tools for your marketing toolkit.
