Whatever marketing you can do by yourself means less cost and risk for the publisher. While Huston acknowledges that social media is the easiest form of marketing, he says it&rsquo;s not enough. Blogging is a great way to strengthen your marketing and platform, and you can begin with just 500 words twice a month. Hutson also suggests hosting speaking engagements where you sell your book and obtaining a publicist to help garner media attention. These efforts provide a foundation that can improve your chances of hearing that &ldquo;Yes&rdquo; from an agent.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-05/HowaSolidMarketingPlanandPlatformCanHelpAuthorsLandanAgent.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../HowaSolidMarketingPlanandPlatformCanHelpAuthorsLandanAgent.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/traditional-publishing/w/agents/7446/how-a-solid-marketing-plan-and-platform-can-help-authors-land-an-agent/revision/1Mon, 12 Aug 2019 13:36:23 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:1ac5a840-214b-4b0d-a626-9e1860e3cc5bSteve Hutsonhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/traditional-publishing/w/agents/7446/how-a-solid-marketing-plan-and-platform-can-help-authors-land-an-agent#commentsRevision 1 posted to Agents by Steve Hutson on 8/12/2019 1:36:23 PM<br /> <p>Approaching literary agents with an established author platform and thoughtful book marketing plan can greatly increase your chances of landing an agent, as literary agent Steve Hutson explains.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-05/HowaSolidMarketingPlanandPlatformCanHelpAuthorsLandanAgent.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../HowaSolidMarketingPlanandPlatformCanHelpAuthorsLandanAgent.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
