5. Want to make sure you do everything right? Get a bunch of handholding and optimize your launch with a Book Launch package that fits your needs.
6. Consider building a Street Team (AXP can help) if you don’t have one already. Wouldn’t it be nice to tap into a group of readers to help you launch each new book?
