Book Publicist Scott Lorenz on Why Organic Buzz Still Outranks

Plymouth, MI, USA - September 15, 2025 - Authors weighing whether to spend their budget on advertising or publicity have a clear winner, according to Scott Lorenz, President of Westwind Book Marketing [https://westwindbookmarketing.com/]. While paid ads may deliver a short-term spike in book sales, Lorenz argues that publicity generates lasting buzz, celebrity, and trust that far outshines the temporary effects of advertising.

"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."
