book club discussion guides
As another new to the scene, you want to get your message that you’ve worked so hard in crafting into the hands of as many people as possible, right? (Yes, many authors come to us wanting to reach best-seller status). Obviously, you don’t have to create a book club discussion guide to get your book in front of people, BUT it is a nice perk to have on your website.

From pre-order incentives to a chapter download, the goal is to capture the mighty email address and “list build.” So, a book club guide is a great way to get folks to your site and give them something for free, no email required.
