Editor’s Note: On May 18th, Book Business’ sister brand Publishing Executive hosted a free webinar titled, “Innovative Strategies for Growing & Monetizing Your Audience.” The webinar is available to watch free on-demand and covers a topic that is particularly important for book publishers. As publishers up their direct marketing efforts on their websites, newsletters, and social media accounts, they must learn how to collect data about those audiences and extract insights that can help them drive better business decisions.
This webinar provides practical strategies that will enable publishers to learn more about the readers that visit their sites, create content that drives new audience acquisition, and utilize data insights to increase sales and create new products. The webinar features presentations from media consultant Brian O’Leary of Megellan Media and eMedia Strategist founder Eric Shanfelt.
