It is not so easy to measure this since you not only invest some money, you also invest a lot of time, which is difficult to quantify. With every action that we take, we wait for something in return. Moreover, this is exactly what you do when marketing your book. Authors need to understand that marketing and advertising, especially online, takes time. This doesn’t necessarily generate profit right away, but it generates prestige and recognition for your author’s brand and for your book. I know that everyone expects high returns, but if you have your books in a bookshop you don’t expect that the next day the seller will call you to say he sold all the books. Why should you expect that from a publicist or from yourself if you are the one who is promoting your books? You need to define marketing and promotion as an investment in time and dedication, with the hope that later on you will see a return on your investment. If all a writer can think of are sales, the answer is simple. Convince a distributor to take on your books and then that company will be responsible for the sales of your book. A publicist or marketer is working for your book and your brand every day. Creating promotional materials, contacting media, readers, booksellers, bloggers, etc. takes time, energy, and money. I am sure that you will agree with me if you do your own promotion. Publicists have finished their job when they have kept their promises and done what they said they would do. You can judge the results by checking the search engines, and if you are looking for your name or for your book, there should be a few pages about your brand and your title. If the publicist managed to engage you for a few interviews, had a few mentions in newspapers or magazines, a successful blog tour, or found a few booksellers who were interested in your book, that means there was a successful campaign. In my experience, I booked two writers, whom I appreciate very much, with a prestigious radio station. I couldn’t find a more righteous pitch for that book. However, to finalize it took me six months. Fortunately, since we were still working together we could do it and everyone was pleased with the results. That is why I say don’t confuse marketing with sales. Marketing for me is more about placements than about sales.
Unfortunately, marketing is often the first budget that is cut when times are tough, but at least try to do it for yourself by spending within your budget. “You don’t stop the watch when you are afraid of getting old, so don’t cut off advertising when you want to save money.”
