As an author, I know that engaging with readers is just as important as writing a great book. But I’m curious—what are the best ways to build a loyal fan base and keep readers coming back for more?
I’ve seen authors use social media, email newsletters, virtual book clubs, and live Q&A sessions, but I’m not sure which strategies work best. Do giveaways and reader groups help? Should I focus on one platform, or is it better to be everywhere?
I’ve also come across book marketing services in USA that help with audience engagement and brand building—has anyone used these services before? Did they help increase reader interaction and book sales?
For those who’ve successfully built a strong reader community, what worked best for you? How do you keep your readers engaged between book releases?
