"Readers are smart- they know an ad is an ad," says Lorenz. "But when your book is featured in a magazine, highlighted on a podcast, or recommended by a trusted reviewer, that's credibility you simply can't buy."
In his latest article, Publicity v.s Advertising: Why Organic Buzz Still Outranks Paid Ads for Books [https://book-publicist.com/publicity-vs-advertising-why-organic-buzz-still-outranks-paid-ads-for-books/], Lorenz outlines the key differences between these two approaches:
Publicity: The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Earned media coverage- from local newspaper features to podcast interviews- creates authentic endorsements that live online for years, continually attracting new readers. Publicity builds credibility and trust, giving books staying power.
Advertising: The Quick Fix
Paid ads on platforms like Facebook or Amazon may deliver a temporary sales boost, but results vanish when the budget runs out. Readers often scroll past ads, making them less effective in creating long-term engagement.
Publicity Wins
While advertising buys attention, publicity earns it- and readers recognize the difference. Authentic buzz from bloggers, reviewers, and media outlets drive conversations, shares, and lasting connections that keep books alive well beyond launch week.
"The smartest move an author can make is to invest in publicity," Lorenz adds. "It's the strategy that ensures your book will be talked about, remembered, and recommended long after the ads have stopped running."
