Social Media Success for Authors
Marketing is one of those necessary evils of being an author. But that doesn’t mean you have to sell your soul to succeed on social media.
This easy, self-paced course will show you how to grow your following, promote your books, and do it all without feeling overwhelmed. You in?
Let’s be real: marketing isn’t the fun part of being an author.
You’d much rather spend your time writing, and the idea of promoting your books on social media probably makes you feel cringey or overwhelmed. I get it.
That’s why I created Social Media Success for Authors.
To show you how to simplify social media marketing and make it work for you, without wasting your precious time and energy. Because you should spend it on your story.
In this course, you’ll learn the exact steps I use to connect with readers, grow an engaged audience, and promote my books — without having to post every day or constantly show my face.
Why Learn From Me?
Hi, I’m Saleema Ishq, an award-winning thriller author and social media lover who knows firsthand how challenging it can feel to connect with readers online, especially as an introverted writer. With my debut novel and a handful of published short stories under my belt, I’ve built a growing community of book lovers using simple, authentic strategies that anyone can master.
Need proof? In 2024, I was voted “Best Instagram Reels” in the Indie Book Awards Special Author Categories, and my Reels have racked up over a million cumulative views on Instagram, proving that you don’t need to be a tech expert (or even show your face) to create content that resonates.
After plenty of trial and error, I’ve found ways to make content creation easy, grow an audience that genuinely cares about your work, and promote books without burning out. And along the way, I’ve also used my platform to advocate for mental health and encourage authors to share their stories in ways that bring them joy.
Now, I’m here to help YOU do the same. I can't wait to help you take social media from something you dread into your secret weapon for success.
