Influencer Outreach for Authors doing Book Promotion 

(In regards to tip #2) I get similar messages on my LinkedIn, and most I don’t reply to because they sound too…sales-y. However, there was one that was written differently asking me to speak at a webinar. I said yes, and it was a lot of fun!!

Hello Julie, I had a real bad experience with another self publishing company. They weren't available to reply to calls or emails after they received all of your money meaning there was no additional help. To launch my book globally the pages had to be 26 to 27 pages(I'd asked during prepping the book but refused to answer the question directly)long. It's the way that they did business, answered questions or not that raised flags but by this time 95% of my money was already in their hands. I start to become depressed a little because to me it was the message in the book that was important&to me it needed to be share around the globe but it got halted&is only distributed by the company(children's book)I appreciate this video because I get to start over,this gives me another perspective on things I didn't so that I can move forward maybe not with the same book but I get to start over. When one door closes another opens right.. I have faith&belief in those words alone&that's my super power. Thank You

Thank you Julie for this video. I’m almost to this stage with my book and your advice just saved me from several mistakes I would have made!! Love the pay attention to what they like/need advice. Will try that in the future.

Thank you for these gems. I hope to get to the point of giving back / paying forward to other writers. Lifting up others will be the reward enough. Brava!

Thank you. This is really good. I appreciate your advice. I have listened to a few of your videos & have subscribed and this is the first one I have commented on. I normally don't comment on a lot of videos. When I did my TEDx. One thing I noticed was how the other people I was on stage with ignored people who made comments under their talks. They had some great speeches but when I tried to connect it seemed to be all about them. I was sad. When you talked about doing things for others & appreciating people, it reminded me of that. Then another thought came to mind. I have been so focused on writing writing my book, getting the correct title, figuring out how to market, doing all the research.... That I have forgotten the genuine human side. The thoughtful side. The side that thinks of others no matter if they can give or can't give. If they are well known or not known. I was thinking about who I was going to contact to endorse my book. How was I going to get them to endorse my book. I had listened to a video that talked about having a big enough list to check people off. Ugg. I was falling for bigger is better... More is better. This video reminded me to slow down. Still research ( I already have a few in mind) people. But get to know them not just for the ask but also from a place of alignment & a place of genuine humanity & caring. Whether they say no or yes. It isn't about that. It really is about getting to know each other. I want my personality communication book to influence people in a positive way. The people or person I want to endorse my book probably want to feel like they have influenced me in a positive way as well. Along with that, they want the same things I want. So again thank you for taking me out of my robot mindset. 🙏💕

Oh, my goooooooooooooooosh the Outstanding Creator Awards medal is in the thumbnail!!!!!!!! Julie Broad's "Self-Publish and Succeed" was the first ever "Best Non-Fiction Book" of the Outstanding Creator Awards!

Great ideas! Will revisit this when I'm ready to crawl put of my introvert shell 😉 Had to unlist thay video, the audio didn't sync up properly. I'll be revisiting that video since I'm going through your book as I write my nonfiction 😎 #NoBoringBooks

Great resource. I think Influencer marketing is more brand awareness than straight forward sales.

Tip number 4 about sending something of value was really interesting. I never would have thought of sending a box of cookies or tea as a follow up or to add a personal touch.

This is absolutely brilliant information, and quite frankly, a lifesaver! It’s exactly what I needed to hear at this juncture in my manifest. Thank you so much for sharing, you have no idea what you’ve just sewn into! ❤️

Great video and very helpful as I approach this stage. Put in the work is a key message here. Thank you Julie!

Thank you Julie yet another rich and useful video … I’m glad you said yes to my Summit because you def added some golden nuggets I can’t wait to go live in March

I am currently trying to establish a network of connections and reviewers for the publishing company that I work for and it has been ROUGH! Thank you for your tips and advice!

Loads of good stuff as always, Julie.

Thank you Julie✨ This is something I have been thinking about.

Hello! Thank you for your extremely informative and uplifting videos!

Awesome. I host the Los Angeles Marathon every year, and it’s always been on my agenda to invite YOU to lunch when I’m there to thank you for sharing your wisdom. #greatminds

Thank you so very much for this super resourceful video Julie. Great learning!!!!

Julie I watched many helpful videos by you, however I never commented before. Let me share my experience of getting published my book with your company. I remember having first zoom meeting with you and what impressed me that you were NOT eager to get me as client unless you can help me. You offered my to submit my manuscript with your content editor and see what he or she had say and go from there. He gave me positive feedback and I got on board. I have so far wonderful experience with the professionals you have in your company which I shared with my feedback with you. So Thank you.

I love these tips and will adopt them. I’d rather connect with people instead of just using them to further myself.

Yes! Another awesome video :)

Your videos are always so informative and incredibly useful. Truly appreciate all the tips. 🙏

I love your videos Julie; thanks for sharing these great ideas about making connections. I'm still writing my book as a region of the first draft to be current with the times, adding info about how Covid affects colleges since the book is for college students with disabilities and chronic medical conditions.

Love your videos. Thank you

What a great video Julie, eight tips will be very helpful to me thank you so much.

Great content. I'm stunned this video doesn't have exponentially more views after nearly two years. Getting influencers to notice your book is like the holy grail of getting noticed as an author these days, so I find it odd that the zillions of aspiring authors out there aren't flocking towards videos like these in droves. Oh well, their loss! P.S. the #noboringbooks hashtag should be enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! These tips were so helpful.

Hello book broad I watch you often. I am a author as well. You have a great message.

Thanks for this-- very helpful!

Thank you for the knowledge. I’m a book writer. I definitely welcome all the advice you can share. Thank you

Great video and helpful info! I find self promotion is very difficult.

10:19 I'm delighted and honored, Julie "The Bear Slayer" Book Broad! :-D

Super video, Julie! I've gotten a number of benefits from creators higher up on my genre food chain by simply doing for others, when possible. Back in the day, on Facebook and Twitter, I started out with no intentions of asking favors, but I'd LIKE their comments. Eventually, I felt braver and started commenting which led to conversations. Soon, they got to know me and we often became friends, I'm glad to say. I've also gotten work and favors that way too. I guess the best way is just to be a friend first and foremost.

Cool video, yes it’s all about long-term friendly relationship that goes both ways. Thanks for the video! -friend

Thanks for another great video!

Great content! I have always focused on something we have in common or something they said or an interview that I saw them on and comment on something that stood out to me.

What a gem of a video! There are so many “selfish” benefits to being selfLESS. Thank you! 💎

Hi! This is what I was looking to learn more of.

Wow, these are great ideas. Thanks.

Wow! Mindset check! I have a strong aversion to selling myself. But I can easily(!) see myself adopting these attitudes in a natural way. And what a great benefit to possibly forge a relationship as well. Thank you for also exemplifying this for us. We see you and learn❣️

Thanks Julie. This was very helpful!

Bonjour Julie🙌 Great content… Bravo!

I’m working on my first book, these videos are a tremendous resource for information.

Hey Julie!!!

Hello Friend. ;) Great video as always.

Thanks, Julie! This is great info! Has the video with Kevin White come out? I am really interested in hearing more about what he did as I hope to use my book to raise awareness for the nonprofit organization with which I work. Thanks again!!

Thanks for your info. I'm looking for some good influencers for my books. Can you please recommend a list of influencers for authors?

Hello Julie!

1:50 awwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeee 🥰 💕 😱 🤩

Awesome view Julie. Amazing how important offering value to people is more important than focusing on what you want. Who would have thought? LOL Rhetorical of course. :)

Great video and super tips that we can apply. How do you know when to draw the line between gently following up after your request has been sent and being a stalker? :)

It’s really a helpful guidance. How can I take your help to launch my book?

Thanks for the tips Julie! Always valuable for sure. It's pretty easy for me to talk to other influencers and establish rapport. However, I've not been as fortunate with some of the media. Some of whom I knew previously and seemed to have connections with. I know that everyone is busy, so I try not to hover or be pesty. Trying to determine how I should re-engage in order to reconnect. Any suggestions other than what you've already shared?
