Biggest Mistakes made by Authors while promoting their books revealed by Abhishek Kapoor, Abhinav Shukla, Amrita Singh and Smilee Prashant Bhatt in an exclusive Web Story India Instagram Live

“The biggest mistake made by an author is when an author who is not from a marketing background decides to create the strategy for the promotion of his/her book,” said international Bestselling Author Abhishek Kapoor to start the exclusive Instagram Live event by Web Story India.

The show, titled MISTAKES THAT AUTHORS MAKE WHILE PROMOTING THEIR BOOKS focused on how to create better strategies to market a book. The guests included International Bestselling Author and trendsetter in the marketing and PR industry, AUTHOR ABHISHEK KAPOOR, Marketing Guru and Founder of Collabadda, ABHINAV SHUKLA. The show that also featured popular book blogger AMRITA SINGH was hosted by the very talented writer and content executive SMILEE PRASHANT BHATT. Abhinav Shukla, Abhishek Kapoor, Smilee Prashant Bhatt and Amrita Singh went live on Instagram to conduct the Book Marketing Masterclass!

“Influencer Marketing has certainly emerged as one of the most trending strategies for brands to gain visibility as well as reach people through their trusted face,” explained Author and Marketing Trendsetter Abhishek Kapoor, as he added, “Viral Marketing and Youth Marketing are also the key aspects in a good book marketing strategy.”

He went on to share about his own books THE SELFISH BETRAYALS AND THE PRIDE OF T20 CRICKET. The concept behind the names, the experience and journey of writing international bestsellers was indeed very inspirational for all the viewers.

“It’s very important to connect with other authors and publishers and follow what they are doing,” said Abhinav Shukla. He also stated that hiring a book marketing agency is certainly a good way to help boost the overall publicity of the book. He revealed about his upcoming book, stressed on the fact that if a person mimics his style, then that person may not be able to get as much success as him. “Originality is the key to Creativity.”

“I don’t consider the person who promotes brands on all his/her posts to be an influencer. Why would anyone follow you if you just promote brands? Nobody is interested. Unless you provide something valuable and helpful to the people through your content, you are not a good influencer,” said Abhishek as he went on to name Yog Guru and business tycoon Baba Ramdev as one of the influencers from the real world. 

“Influencers are the one who influence people in the real sense of the word. Anyone can copy the idea and content from others, but what’s the unique selling point then?,” said Abhinav. He also shared an example of a YouTube channel having 190k+ subscribers but millions of views on all their videos.

The event, which was hosted by Smilee through the Web Story India page, was a smash hit.
