The Book Marketing Network

For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers

I have a question.  Is it easier, from your experience, to market a book from the perspective of the book alone or within the framework of a larger business?  The latter being an add-on to, let's say, a consulting business.  Or in other words, is it better for the book to drive up the expert status or the expert status drive up sales of the book?

Dear John,
Before I provide a potential answer to your question, I would like to give you a little background, so that you have confidence in my response: I have been helping people with marketing challenges for 10 years now, focusing mostly on internet marketing.
To answer your question, you can market your book either way: for example you can use your book as a tool to build credibility within your business or you can market the book as a standalone. Both are equally simple to do; it just requires you choose a methodology and build a marketing platform around that standpoint. If you would like a more in-depth answer to your question or have specific questions, feel free to email me some times you are available for a telephone discussion: alison at idealvisitor dot com.
Warm Regards,
Alison Silbert
This is completely from my layman's perspective, but I would think whichever is your strongest attribute (business or book) make that your springboard for marketing the other. Then as the other grows in popularity, you can always switch. =)
