Marketing Mentoring
Supporting and equipping you with the marketing knowledge to promote yourself and your books with ease and confidence.
With over 20 years experience of marketing books, and well over a decade of social media experience, it won’t surprise you that I still thoroughly enjoy helping authors get confident building their social media channels and audiences.
My approach is not to try to make you a digital marketing specialist, that’s a full time job and you already have at least one other job being an author.
Instead my focus is to work with authors who want more support finding their feet and getting confident on social media.
I will show you how to use the channels you want to focus on effectively, but my priority will be getting you clear on your target audience, your pitch and knowing how to talk about you book, what content you can create and to enjoy building an audience – foundations that will be helpful to you in all aspects of marketing, not just your social media.
My mentoring is high touch and is most beneficial to people who want to be able to ask questions along the way, get advice and content ideas that are specific to them and their book and to get feedback (and reassurance!) on what they are doing rather than following generic training or advice.
If the idea of talking about your book, or being visible on social media makes you feel horribly uncomfortable then my coaching skills can also help you feel more at peace with this, and as many of my author clients have found, even enjoy it.
Just think how it will feel in three months’ time to have a clear social media marketing plan, the knowledge of what to share about your book to resonate with your target audience, an understanding of the best practice for your chosen channels and the confidence and knowledge to keep building your audience?
I only have ONE SPACE per month for my Social Media Author Mentoring Package and I recommend that the best time to start this is between one year and six months ahead of publication. If you know you want to work with me on this it is possible to reserve your slot ahead of time.
Social Media Author Mentoring Package
What is it?
A three month, bespoke mentoring package to get you feeling confident and happy promoting your book, and building your author brand and audience on social media.
How it works:
The package consists of six one hour long mentoring calls held on Zoom.
Ideally in the first month we have a session once a week to get you started as quickly as possible. Then we meet again at the end of months two and three so I can feedback on what you’ve been doing and help you finesse it.
I am available to you on email the entire time we work together to give you feedback, encouragement, ideas and accountability when you need it.
Together we look at getting really focused on who your target audience is, what your key messages are about you and your book, the marketing content that you can share that will appeal to your target audience but also feel comfortable to you to share.
I will then show you how to use the social media channels you want to focus on so you can be confident that you are starting out well.
I will feedback on your previous social media activity if relevant, as well as what you do while we work together so you can get my reassurance and guidance.
Much of what we cover in these sessions will be relevant to other aspects of your marketing so you will be able also to apply what you learn with me to your email newsletter strategy, your website content or event and podcast topics if they are things you are also considering.
I only have one space available each month so that I can give my very best focus and energy to each of my clients.
I always like to meet potential mentoring clients before we work together so we can both make sure we are a good match.
To see if we would be a good fit, and to apply for one of my spaces please book in for a discovery call here.
The investment
The investment for this package is £1,450.
That instinct was even more correct than I realised. Working with Kelly has been incredible. With a gentle warmth, clear instruction and supportive feedback, Kelly guided me through a range of best practices, tips and content ideas for my social media, all drawn from best practices and real-world experience. She took the time to read my novel and review what I had already been doing on my platforms. She then tailored our sessions specifically to my novel and publishing timeline, as well as my knowledge of social media and what I could craft and shape. Since working with Kelly I have seen an impressive increase in my social media interactions, followers and general activity on my posts. I feel confident and knowledgeable as to the best ways to approach my platforms for this novel and those in the future. If you are unsure of how to approach social media or are simply looking for new and dynamic ideas for your posts and marketing, I highly recommend reaching out to Kelly. Her easy-going nature and incredible industry knowledge will support you to your goals.’
“Kelly Weekes is more than a marketing mentor; she is an avid supporter of your work and she wants you to achieve your goals.
Kelly takes the time to get to know her clients, their personalities, and thinks of ways to help them represent themselves in a way that is true to them; working with her is a wonderfully empowering experience.”
She is very knowledgeable (and wise!) on all aspects of digital marketing and a brilliant and creative guide in formulating and executing a strategy. She is organised, a brilliant communicator and above all an amazing coach and cheerleader. I could not recommend her highly enough.”
