Did You See That These 3 Posts Can Sell for You? 👀
One of the easiest ways to sell more children's books on Instagram is by creating 3 pinned posts that do the selling for you! Instead of hoping people scroll through your profile, these posts immediately tell new visitors: - Who you are - What books you've written - Where they can buy them The best part? You only have to create them once, and they'll continue working every time someone lands on your profile! 🎥 Watch the new YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh7umIxcIuY&t=1s ‼️ Author Growth Roadmap Premium & VIP Members: I've already created drag-and-drop Canva templates for all three pinned posts.

Launch Advertising Ideas
I’m so happy to announce that my third children’s book launches next month, but I’m also stumped because I’m not sure how to advertise my book/launch. Like what do I post? What do I say? My socials aren’t very popular so traction is limited! Here’s some illustrations for the book!

I have found the free booksy e-newletter worth the spend to get a lot of eyes on your book during those first few weeks post-launch. I usually see between 400-800 downloads of my book over a couple days.

@Kaitlyn Spear you’re welcome!
IG Handles Sharing
Hello friends! After launching my book and vending my book at a market for the first time on the 1st weekend of May, I realized I needed to establish an IG handle solely for my author/illustrator stuff. I was thinking it would be lovely to connect with fellow authors and illustrators part of this group on here and get a vibe of what everyone is posting and sharing. Let's inspire one another on this journey. The market I vended at did something similar and thought it might be fun to share here. ~ Follow me and I'll follow yours ~ Drop your Instagram handle in the comments and let's follow each other!
