✨ From abandoning books after 5 pages… to writing my thesis on book marketing & reading habits. 📚💫

I didn’t grow up loving every book. Some bored me, others felt like a burden. But then came stories like Szent Johanna Gimi and Harry Potter - books that made me feel seen. Since then, I’ve built a deeply personal reading journey, full of pink-covered novels, unforgettable characters, and reflections I didn’t expect.

Now I co-own a publishing house, write about books, life, and everything in between.

Trying to get more and more productive🩷 also, thinking about big changes • as it is usually said, starts are the most difficult part of everything.

I can totally relate !! I have so many ideas, also, very little time to make them come true. But i have big plans for this year.

I think blogs and Instagram accounts are very much connected, for example I use content from my articles for the IG posts.

So if we get everything set, it is easier to create content. That’s why I just can’t wait to finally ‘settle’ • I would like to focus on bookish content creation.

It can be really hard to find the best design, fonts, titles, logos and everything related to make an outstanding blog where our articles can shine.

I always edit my Hungarian sites, I didn’t have much energy and time left for this one • but as it became really important to me to grow and create things, I will have to think about everything and just ready, set, go🫧

Earlier I had been thinking A LOT about my texts and descriptions, but I decided to just write what I currently think and maybe that will be way more valuable than thoroughly planned sentences.

See you soon more often, hopefully with the blog done • as I realized I wouldn’t have time for book marketing services to offer, I just have to change the whole idea to make a ‘simple’ but very personal bookish blog💌

Sooooo…🫧 i’ve been wondering about several things lately.

First of all, about this profile, its essence and goal. I always knew I would want to share my experience and thoughts about my journey from the world of books.

Today is the day to reset, replan and gooo💕

Many people don’t know much about the bookish industry, which is totally understandable • but let me bring you a little bit closer to my life as a - •

When I was in high school, it happened somewhen in the last few weeks when we had to write a little note about each of our classmates • the note was supposed to be a guess about what we think our classmates would become after having grown up.

One of my classmates wrote ‘shop assistant’, clearly to offend me. At that time, as a very highly educated person with great ambitions, I thought becoming a shop assistant was for people with less motivation & knowledge. I was so wrong…

But! When we think about “regular” sellers at shops, nowadays we don’t really expect special knowledge from them. That is sad, also, not very accurate. Because yes, people keep on asking questions while shopping • where is this, where is that, but most of all: “what do YOU recommend?”

That’s when knowledge comes. To be an outstanding seller, - which means that you are a great workforce but also an important person for society, because you help solving problems - you must know the products you sell.

And the more important that position is for you, the more seriously you will take the studying part. That’s why independent owners are usually way more helpful than others. It requires knowledge, experience and social skills.

But getting back to the essence of this post - I want to show you some little details about my life, my job, my passion, my hobby. I want you to understand how deep this profession is and how does it feel to have fallen in love with books and to basically love everything related to them.

Today, amongst many other things, I made 24 orders ready to be shipped tomorrow. I am proud of the physical parts of my job that I do. I enjoy , I love being productive. If you feel the same way, stay tuned!🫶🏼

A short but useful post to read while sipping your coffee❣️☕️

The „Spread the Word“ strategy in book marketing basically means spreading the news about a book.

By consistently engaging with the community, encouraging reviews, and fostering discussions around your book, you can build a groundswell of interest that drives readers to purchase📚❤️‍🔥

Turning Bookstagram activity into a bestseller involves more than just visibility; it's about creating momentum that translates into sales.
