What it costs
The
“Marketing is Expensive” MYTH is rooted in the cost of PROMOTING your
product through TV, radio, magazines, newspapers, and all kinds of
traditional public media. These ADS are expensive, because the income from
advertisers is what funds the publications and broadcasts. However, the CONTENT
is what PULLS the customer/reader to that specific show or print media. It
is the articles, sitcom, or story that advertisers feel will help them
reach the target audience for their product or service.
When a publisher tells an author to do their own
marketing, they really mean they want them to create a persona
and put together a marketing plan for their book. If an
author creates a persona and plan, then hands the publisher a really
great advertisement targeted for specific publications, the publisher may then
say, “Great!” and put some funds into the promotion. Maybe. Even so, once the
marketing 101 process has been completed, creating advertisements and funding
promotions is a lot less expensive.
