About this listen
Imagine if you had a direct connection with thousands of readers who loved reading your books. And imagine if those readers eagerly awaited the launch of your next book. How would that direct relationship with your readers change your writing career? How would you feel knowing that every time you started a new book project, you already had people excited to buy it and ready to recommend it to others?
In Your First 1000 Copies, seasoned book marketing expert Tim Grahl walks you through how successful authors are using the online marketing tools to build their platform, connect with readers and sell more books.
Tim has worked with over 100 different authors from top best sellers such as Hugh Howey, Daniel Pink, Charles Duhigg, Chip and Dan Heath, Ramit Sethi, and Pamela Slim to authors just get started on their first writing project. He has worked with authors across all fiction and non-fiction genres.
The result is Your First 1000 Copies and the Connection System, a plan that every author can immediately start using. The plan looks like this:
- Permission - How to open up communication with your readers where you can reliably engage them and invite them to be involved.
- Content - How to use content to engage with current readers and connect with new ones.
- Outreach - How to ethically and politely introduce yourself to new readers.
- Sell - How all of these steps can naturally lead to book sales without being pushy or annoying
- Track - How to use modern online tools to see what's working and what's not working, and how to make decisions based on data.
This is a system that any author can immediately put in place to start building their platform. Whether you're a seasoned author looking to step into the new publishing landscape, or you're a brand new author, Your First 1000 Copies will give you the tools to connect with readers and sell more books.

Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

Excellent book for self published authors
Tim Grahl provides an excellent blueprint for indie authors to follow when launching a book. I recommend you follow his advice that he's shared with so many recognizable authors. I plan to build the foundation he prescribes. I recommend you do the same. Or waste time and launch your book on your own without his proven advice. The choice is yours.

Essential for Contemporary Authors!
Great content about how authors can take their careers (and, by extension, their lives) into their own hands. Tim's advice is both practical and revolutionary. Very empowering!

Opened my eyes for sure
Email lists and engagement are paramount in this book. Although dated, I do appreciate his take on social media in general and his interview at the end is great for fiction authors.

A good audiobook narrated by the author
Unlike some people, I enjoy nonfiction audiobooks narrated by the author. It gives the book a flair that professional narrators can't. After all, the author knows best how to express the ideas.
That's the case here, as the author does a great job of expressing himself. I've listened to him in seminars and podcasts, and his voice is consistent.
Content-wise, this is the best book on marketing out there. If you're looking for something to listen to on the way to work, you can't do any better, especially if you're trying to focus on growing your mailing list.
Also, the bonus interview at the end with Tim was totally unexpected and greatly appreciated. I almost missed it, though.
Performance-wise, this could have been better, but that's to be expected from an author-narrated book. There were a few run-on sentences and choppy reads that could have been better. They weren't too distracting, but they were noticeable.
This was a great audiobook, and I'd definitely listen to it again.

Good advice
This book is fairly short and to the point. The author does a good job narrating, and has some solid advice for growing an email campaign. He even gives some follow up links for information that points directly to his site, where he keeps the information updated.

Great Investment. Perfect resource.
If you could sum up Your First 1000 Copies in three words, what would they be?
Be relentlessly helpful.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Your First 1000 Copies?
The realization that pop-ups( if done correctly and with the right mindset of adding value to your subscribers) are not viewed as annoying but as something desirable your fan or subscriber will actually want.
Which character – as performed by Tim Grahl – was your favorite?
Tim Grahl did a perfect Tim Grahl impression for the entire book. Tim sounds down to earth and offers sound advice with no wasted time or space. Very useful.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
One thing I loved about this book was how many things you could put into practice immediately. I paused the book several times to complete actions he suggested. Before I was done listening to it I had a non-intrusive, value adding pop-up on my website and already had some subscribers to my email list, and had already sent out some free content.
Any additional comments?
Would recommend to all authors interested in growing reach and fan base in a natural, non-saleman-ish way.
