30 Day Social Media Challenge Fillable Workbook For Authors

You know you should be on social media. I know you know. Maybe you’ve started more than once, posted every day for a week, and then let it slide. I’ve watched a lot of authors do exactly that, and I’ve done it myself.

Here’s the thing: it isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a planning problem. So I built this workbook to fix it.

For 30 days you get one task a day. Each daily page gives you the prompt, a couple of sentences on why it works, and an example post you can borrow from. Then there’s room to write your own version right on the page. Post it, spend a few minutes talking with readers, check it off, and get back to writing your book. Most days take about 30 minutes.

Every seventh day you stop and write down your numbers: followers, website visits, newsletter sign-ups, and book sales. By Day 30 you’ll know which posts actually brought readers to you, instead of guessing.

What’s inside:

• A goal page with a spot for your starting numbers, so you can see real progress
• Setup pages: accounts and links, a posting kit checklist, a month-at-a-glance calendar, a content mix planner, and a hashtag builder
• Four themed weeks: Let Readers Meet You, Show Them Your Books, Build Your Reader Community, and Keep the Momentum
• 26 daily challenge pages, each with an example post written for authors
• A weekly posting planner and a weekly wrap-up for each week
• A Day 29 audit and a Day 30 plan for month two

Platforms covered: Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. You don’t need all of them. Pick one or two where your readers already hang out and do those well.

I started learning book marketing the hard way, when my first book came out in 2014. Before that I built websites and marketed Southern women’s crafts, so I already knew selling online takes more than putting something up and hoping. Since then I’ve helped over 100 authors with their marketing, and this is the same day-by-day approach I walk my own clients through.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy, and you don’t need a big budget. You just need to show up a little every day for 30 days. Let’s do it together.
