Cost-Effective Online Product Promotion
Brought to you by RankTracer.
Within the context of an Internet revolution, online promoting is probably the most powerful tool available to you. Any successful book must make use of online media to boost sales. If you are a writer or any other creative, you might want to personally take control of your publicity or kiss some great potential revenue goodbye.
David Louis Edelman, the author of 'Infoquake (The Jump 225 Trilogy)', is one of many innovative authors who has taken on the task of personal book promotion. He has effectively used the internet as a marketing tool, costing him only time and effort. Here are a few quick tips that Edelman offers on how to promote the sales of your title using the internet:
-Start a blog well before the release of your book and begin consciously trying to write about topics that will hopefully garner you an audience.
-Make an active effort to hunt down any interview opportunity. Approach websites like Barnes & Noble Explorations, John Scalzi's By the Way blog, and Suite101.com.
-Make use of your current social media sites i.e. MySpace and Facebook, and seek friends with interests in the genre of your book.
