Blessing Oladeji Hi RM,

Thank you for sharing your experience! It sounds like you've been through quite a journey trying out various methods, and I can definitely relate to the frustration of hitting those dead ends despite the effort put into each strategy. The right influencer can certainly be a game-changer, and I understand how critical it is to find that one person who genuinely connects with your book and amplifies it to their audience.

As for influencer recommendations, I’d suggest looking for influencers in the thriller or mystery space who actively engage with their followers and have a track record of promoting books. Some might even be open to reviewing your book and sharing it on their social channels. I’d be happy to assist with researching and reaching out to the right contacts if you're open to exploring that route!

Also, it’s great to hear that your publisher is looking at a hardback edition—it’s a great way to add prestige and attract new readers. If you’d like, I can share more targeted marketing strategies tailored to reaching readers who enjoy thrillers. Sometimes focusing on niche communities or collaborating with fellow authors in your genre can also lead to new opportunities.

On another note, have you heard of MRA (Market Research Analysis)? I specialize in this area and have found that understanding the market and audience deeply can really help focus efforts and refine strategies. I can provide you with insights on which methods might have the best potential for success, especially when it comes to influencer marketing.

Let me know if you'd like to brainstorm further or if you'd like any help connecting with influencers in the thriller space!

Wishing you much success, and I’m sure your book will find the right audience soon.

Best regards,
Blessing
