Bestseller Book Marketing/Sales Expert

Hello! I’m Akinsola, a leading Book Marketer on UpWork, and I’m confident I can deliver outstanding results. With over 4 years in the publishing industry, I’ve successfully marketed more than 100 books and sold over 80,000 copies. Feel free to ask for examples of books I've promoted for past clients! Even if your book is still in the early stages, it’s crucial to plan your marketing strategy from the start, and that’s where I come in. Here’s how I can help: I’ll get your book into the hands of thousands of Book Bloggers, Book YouTubers, and Book Podcasts, who will share it with their large audiences. Plus, I can ensure your book is featured in numerous bookstores and library shelves. My experience spans all genres, both fiction and non-fiction, so I’m equipped to handle any book. You can check out the positive reviews and Amazon feedback from my previous clients on my Profile page. My streamlined 4-step marketing process is designed to be hassle-free for you, with each step optional: 1. Comprehensive Contact List Provision I provide carefully curated and verified contact lists customized to your specific needs and target audience. These lists include: 850 Bookstores 2,730 Libraries 420 Book Review Blogs 55 Book Review Podcasts 180 Book Review YouTubers 1,000 Health & Wellness Blogs 1,000 Business Blogs 420 Mom Blogs 600 Self-Help Blogs 750 Family Lifestyle Blogs 250 Children’s Book Review Blogs 375 Mental Health Blogs And many additional niche categories as required. 2. Tailored Outreach Content Development I develop customized, professionally written outreach emails that align with your brand voice and resonate with each specific contact group to maximize engagement and response rates. 3. Email Campaign Management I oversee the full execution of your outreach campaign, including scheduling, distribution, and performance tracking. Each campaign is optimized to achieve an email open rate of at least 40%, ensuring strong visibility and audience reach. 4. Audience Engagement & Promotion Through this strategic outreach, key contacts are encouraged to review, feature, and promote your book across their platforms, enhancing brand awareness, credibility, and book sales. Additionally, I offer a comprehensive 40-page Book Marketing Guide, covering every strategy you should use to market your book, including detailed instructions on where, when, and how to execute each tactic. A bit about me: I’m also an award-winning author with several bestselling books, one of which is currently being adapted into a feature film. If you’re interested in exploring TV or film deals for your book (if it’s a narrative), we can discuss that as well. Looking forward to discussing your project! Best, Akinsola
