Book Boot Camp 2: Marketing

Turn Your Finished Book Into a Sales Machine.

You can write the best book on the shelf and still watch it die quietly because nobody knew it existed. Marketing is the layer that turns “a book I wrote” into “a book that sells while I sleep” — and most authors are skipping it because no one taught them the systems.

Book Boot Camp 2: Marketing

You can’t market a book that isn’t ready — and you can’t scale without the audience you own.

Marketing has one job: get seen, sell books. The rest is consistency plus data — not luck.

Most authors hate marketing because they’re trying to do everything, everywhere, with no audience. Coral didn’t break even until book 7 and didn’t earn a living wage until book 12. What changed wasn’t talent — it was building an owned audience first, then layering ads, swaps and promos on top.

Four days, two hours a day, live with Coral. The marketing system she runs across 20 pen names — when ads work and when they waste money, the swap economy, evergreen promos, and the owned-audience moves that survive every algorithm change. Notes, checklists and resources to keep.


Day 1 — Marketing Foundations & Write to Market

Marketing starts before you write. Visibility plus conversion — that’s the whole game.

Get Seen, Sell Books

If nobody sees your book, you can’t sell it. Pick the marketing channels that fit your strengths — Coral doesn’t use social media, and that’s a strategy, not a bug. Marketing is consistency plus data, not luck.

Write to Market — the First Marketing Move

Tropes and niche choice are marketing decisions. Get this right and the rest gets easier. Get it wrong and no amount of ad spend rescues a book without a market.

Day 2 — Ads — When They Work, When They Waste Money

Ads boost sales. They don’t generate them. The pre-checks that decide whether to even run them.

The Pre-Ad Checklist

Strong cover. Tested blurb. Trope-heavy metadata. 50%+ read-through book 1 to 2 to 3. An organic newsletter base. Miss any of these and ads burn money. Coral’s rule: don’t pay for ads until you’ve got a 3-book series and three series ready.

Promo Stacking — Not Just Ads

Newsletters, social, paid promos and ads layered together to create a sales spike. The mechanics of stacking and why one ad alone is rarely the answer.

Day 3 — Owned Audience — Your Mailing List Is Your Stability

Every platform changes. Every algorithm shifts. Your email list is the only marketing asset you actually own.

Watering the Reader Garden

Group promos, round robins, swaps, ARC teams. Small consistent moves that compound. Lifetime value of a reader: $20–$50 per series. Treat every email like money in your wallet, because it is.

From New Reader to Superfan

The seven readers Coral started with on Robin Ash King are still on the list 16 years later. How to engage readers so they pre-order without a cover and review without you asking.

Day 4 — Marketing System That Survives the Algorithm

Marketing becomes effortless when you already have attention. Build the system once, run it forever.

Pre-Order, Launch & Backlist Cadence

Pre-orders Coral has open with no cover that already convert 70% of her list. Launch week patterns. Backlist activation that lifts every connected book. The system she runs across 20 pen names.

Repeatable SOPs & Automations

The launch checklist. The newsletter cadence. The swap stack rhythm. Build the SOPs once, hand them to your VA or your AI, run them on every release.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the course?

4 days, with a 2-hour live session each day — 30th June 2026 — plus a full set of notes, checklists and resources.

Do I need Boot Camp 1 first?

It helps, but isn’t required. Boot Camp 2 focuses on marketing and can be taken independently.

Are there recordings or replays?

No. This is a live, attend-once experience — no replay access. The value is showing up, doing the work in real time, and getting live feedback from Coral and the room.

Will this teach me Amazon ads, Facebook ads, BookBub ads in detail?

We cover the principles of paid ads — where to spend, how to read data, when not to pay. For deep dives on specific platforms, see the Amazon Sales Page Makeover and BookBub Ads classes.
