Donnette Davis on SM Marketing & Optimisation

Being an ardent blogger (and webbie for educational sites, author of educational books), I found myself coaching friends on how to market their new books, records, companies and products through their social profiles, then researched which SM sites would be best suited and beneficial to their topic. Some had no time to set up the profiles, some had no clue on how to set up the profiles and some thought it would best be left to someone who is comfortable researching, setting up and blogging... That's me! I now offer SMM coaching and an initial SM Package which sets an author/singer/dancer up in their own SM profiles, assist with the creation of blog posts, and coach them on how to "work" their sites. In other words there's no point in setting up a site if it's going to get stale in the first week. Blogging takes time and effort - blogging for profit and marketing oneself or one's product takes more time and more effort - but with the right product on the right SM Networking site there's nothing holding you back :)

My mission 

I am passionate, enthusiastic and sometimes extreme. I love my work, I love kids and I love writing books. I do need to sell them however :) I love my friends dearly and will do what I can to help them achieve their goals. If an author, I will blog and promote and market them and their product like there is no tomorrow. If a publisher, I will recommend him to authors. If an author, to publishers and agents. If a musician, I will get him set up on You Tube and make him a virtual household name. There is nosthing stopping any entrepeneur, marketer, author, artist in any field from self-promotion and making the most of what is so freely available on the www today.

Best Selling Author of "Ticket to Freedom" - Empowering Women Around the Globe

Author of Best-Selling "Ticket to Freedom" Nancy Wylde, allows us into her home and film her daily activities when she is away from pen and paper, and off the podium. In Nancy's Words: "I am passionate about life now and everything that it brings good or bad (if one chooses to term it in this way). I am zealous about raising awareness within my own family and circle of friends and work colleagues about eliminating our homes of toxic chemicals that we use day to day both in and around our homes and on our bodies (such as personal hygiene products). I love to cook Italian gourmet foods and find delight in socialising with my very big Italian family (particularly the younger generations for their wonderful open mindedness). I am an avid reader, preferring this to television at any time. Authors that have inspired me are: Dr W Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Stuart Wilde, Carlos Castaneda, Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Catherine Ponder, Dr John Gray and Florence Shovel-Shinn. I am particularly interested in any books that are motivational, inspirational, self help, psychology, alternative therapies and nutrition.

Blogging and Why it is Important

Why Every Author Should Blog!

The popularity of blogs has soared in the last few years. There are now over 100 million blogs tracked by Technorati, a popular blog search engine. According to demographics collected by the Pew Internet Study, blogs have become mainstream and represent virtually every audience and topic area.

You can use blogs to:
? Develop an audience for your work
? Promote your book

A blog bears many resemblances to a book. Both have a title and subtitle that reflect the content of a book. Blog posts can be organized into categories which serve as a kind of table of contents to classify and group related material. Blog posts, typically 300-500 words in length, represent the raw content of a book. Links within posts or on the blog roll serve as a bibliography, showing references to source material.

How do you attract people to your blog? Initially, through searches individuals make on popular search engine sites like Google, Yahoo and MSN. By using popular keywords in your blog title, subtitle, categories and posts, your blog will begin to turn up in these searches. You can discover these keywords using keyword discovery tools or simply checking out popular blogs in your topic area. The more you blog, the more others discover and link to your blog content, the higher will be the ranking of your blog site in search results, and the greater the traffic you will receive.

Blog software usually provides a basic set of statistics that allow you to track important information such as number of visitors, page views, referring sites and average time spent by each visitor. Page views and comments left by visitors for specific blog posts provide an indicator of popular content. This makes blogs an excellent way for you to field test
and select material to be included in your book.

Once you have cultivated an audience, you can transform your blog into a great marketing platform. For example, you can promote your book on a special page, featuring your bio, a book description, excerpts, press releases and testimonials. Thus your blog can double as a book website. You can also promote your book to a wider audience by arranging a blog tour. A blog tour is a series of scheduled guest appearances on related blogs, where you have the opportunity to talk about your book. This is a low cost, high impact method to discover new readers for your work.

Whether you are publishing independently or trying to sign on with a traditional publisher, blogging can be key to your success. More publishers are now starting to view the blogosphere as a fertile ground to find
promising writers. Why? As an author who blogs, you can quantify your audience and this is attractive to risk averse publishers.

Blogging is a low risk, low cost way to build your audience while you are developing your work, and then promote your finished book to that same audience. Give it a try!
