AI technology, whether welcomed enthusiastically or approached with caution, is an undeniable part of the contemporary author's toolkit. Its presence and influence are only growing, as evidenced by the emergence of platforms like Chat GPT and Jasper.ai. While their full potential is yet to be realized, authors are not obligated to embrace these tools. However, for those seeking cost-effective shortcuts, particularly in research, AI can be a valuable ally.
In the realm of book marketing, AI's capabilities can be particularly beneficial. Gone are the days of staring blankly at a screen or compiling research manually. By leveraging AI, and then applying your own insights and strategic thinking, you can enhance and expand its output. To help you get started, here are five practical ways to use AI in marketing your book.
Idea Generation for Content AI can generate a variety of content ideas, whether or not you’ve uploaded your manuscript. Simply input a topic and receive a list of suggestions for articles, videos, podcasts, or social media posts.
Generating Marketing Content Utilize AI to transform your manuscript or any previously created content into a series of articles, video scripts, or podcast episodes. This not only eases the burden of content creation but ensures the resulting material is closely aligned with your original work.
Marketing Strategy Ideas for Your Book For instance, using Jasper, you can request specific marketing ideas tailored to your book’s theme. This can range from broad strategies to more niche approaches, catering to your specific needs.
Examples of strategies suggested by Jasper include:
Leveraging social media.
Collaborating with genre-specific authors for cross-promotion.

Writing reviews on platforms like Goodreads and Amazon.
Partnering with bloggers, creating a website, and issuing press releases.
