One of the biggest questions I get from children's book authors is, "How do I actually get people to BUY my books?"

And I get it! Publishing your children's book is one thing, but figuring out how to consistently market and sell it is a whole different challenge.

That's why I'm so excited to share this week's YouTube video with you!

I sat down with fellow self-published children's book author JoAnn Dickinson to chat about what it's really like marketing and selling children's books.

We're sharing some of the strategies we've used to grow our own publishing businesses, what's worked for us, what hasn't, and some of the lessons we've learned along the way.

From selling books directly to customers to building an author brand and finding creative ways to reach new readers, we cover quite a bit!

And the best part? You don't need to spend money on ads to start selling more children's books!

I hope this conversation gives you some new ideas to try with your own books!

If I could go back almost 5 years and start my children's book publishing business all over again, there are quite a few things I would do differently.

And some of those mistakes cost me a LOT of time and money!

For example, did you know I spent around $500 on Amazon Ads when I published my first children's book and only made TWO book sales?!

Yep. That was a painful lesson to learn.

But after years of publishing children's books on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and beyond, I've learned what works, what doesn't, and what I would never do again.


So, in this week's YouTube video, I'm sharing 7 mistakes I'd NEVER make again as a self-published children's book author!

Whether you're working on your first book or you've already published several, I hope these lessons save you some time, money, and frustration.

You published your children's book on Amazon KDP, you're excited to finally start making sales, and then...

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀. 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀.
I've been there!

When I published my very first children's book, I quickly realized something that I wish I'd known sooner.
Amazon wasn't going to market my book for me. I had to do that myself!


And here's something I want you to consider:
You might not have a book sales problem. You might have a book VISIBILITY problem.


In this week's episode of 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆, I'm sharing what I did to turn things around and start consistently getting my children's books in front of potential customers.

I'm also breaking down the simple weekly marketing routine I used when I was first starting out that eventually helped me turn children's book publishing into my full-time job.

🎧 Happy Children's Book Marketing Monday!

Did you know that writing a great children's book doesn't necessarily mean it's going to SELL?

This is actually something I learned the hard way after publishing my very first children's book.


In this week's episode of Children's Book Marketing Made Easy, I'm breaking down the FIRST steps to writing a children's book that actually has the potential to sell!

We're talking about choosing the right topic, researching what parents are actually buying, validating your book idea BEFORE publishing, and creating a story that kids will genuinely enjoy.


Because if your goal is to build a sustainable children's book publishing business, you need to think about more than just writing a good story!

🚨 I FOUND A FREE LOOPHOLE TO META'S NEW LINK UPDATE! 👀

If you use Facebook to market your children's book, you've probably heard about Meta's new update limiting how many links you can share in organic Facebook Page posts and comments each month.

And if you want to share more links? They want you to pay for 𝘈𝘕𝘖𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘙 monthly subscription.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝘁!


I found a FREE workaround that I've actually been using in my own children's book marketing, and it comes with an added benefit!

Not only can you use this strategy to share links to your Amazon KDP books, freebies, free ebook promotions, and more, but it can ALSO help increase engagement on your Facebook posts!

And the best part? It's 𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗!


In my brand-new YouTube video, I'm walking you through exactly how to set this up using Meta Business Suite, step-by-step, so you can start using it in your own children's book marketing.

I hope this saves you some money AND makes marketing your children's books a whole lot easier!


Let me know in the comments if you're going to give this a try! 👇

One of my VIP coaching clients sold 200+ children’s books BEFORE her book even officially launched! 🤯

And she did it without having a huge audience.

So, of course, I had to bring her onto my channel and have her spill ALL the details!

In this interview, we’re talking about her pre-launch strategy, Sponsor a Story campaign, Shopify pre-orders, social media marketing, and what she did differently as a debut children’s book author.


If you have a children’s book launch coming up, there are SO many ideas in this one that you can adapt for your own launch!
