Navigating Book Marketing With Atina Van der Veen: TikTok, BookTok, And Authentic Creator Campaigns

Are you struggling with book marketing in the age of BookTok and shrinking budgets? Today, we sit down with Antina van der Veen, founder of BookInfluencers.com and co-founder of ChallyPop, a specialized agency dedicated to connecting authors and publishers with book-focused creators.

Antina shares her journey and reveals the secrets to authentic and effective promotion. Learn why User-Generated Content (UGC) campaigns are the genuine, less 'salesy' way to sell books, allowing companies to use creator creativity on their own corporate channels. We discuss the importance of aligning with the book community's values—which are open-minded and supportive of diversity—and why ChallyPop vets every book to ensure an authentic fit with their creators. Plus, Antina explains why compensating creators is not a bribe, but a necessary token of appreciation for their time and platform. If you want to leverage the power of specialized creator marketing and future-proof your book promotion strategy, this episode is a must-listen.
