Sahil Bloom just pulled off a masterclass in book marketing. His book, The 5 Types of Wealth, didn’t just launch—it skyrocketed, landing at #2 on The New York Times bestseller list within a week. But this wasn’t luck. It was a meticulously planned strategy that combined audience engagement, smart media moves, and a digital-first approach.

So, how did he do it? Bloom leveraged his massive online presence (over 1.1 million followers on X, 800K+ email subscribers, 593K here, etc.) to build anticipation months before launch. He used preorder incentives, strategic partnerships, and exclusive content to drive demand. And once the book was out, he doubled down on momentum by sharing milestones, securing high-profile media coverage, and creating urgency with limited-time offers.

The best part? You don’t need a million followers to apply these strategies. Whether you're launching a book, a product, or a personal brand, Bloom’s approach can be adapted for any audience size. It’s all about leveraging what you have, engaging consistently, and being strategic with your outreach.
