In a few weeks, everything on your Facebook profile, plus your photos, everything you’ve ever “Liked”, everything you’ve ever posted and more will be available unless you tell Facebook otherwise.  What’s the best way to get fans to “Like” your Facebook page other than blatantly asking them to or bribing them with a prize? If you have a print or ebook on Amazon, you are eligible to set up an author profile page. We authors are always looking for unique ways to promote our books. One idea is to create your own holiday, or even better, link your book to a holiday someone else has already created. Indie authors have known for a while that a good book trailer can be a great marketing tool. It’s taken a while, but traditional publishers like Random House and St. Martin’s Press have finally caught on. A friend of mine just got out of a publishing contract because she hated the cover design they presented to her. Her gut told her it sent the wrong message. This may be the best decision she has ever made. Quick Response Codes are two dimensional square bar codes with lots of tiny boxes that can be read by smart phones with a camera, internet connectivity and a QR code reader. On the first rainy night of the year, I was very concerned about how many people would come out for our presentation, “So You Want to Write a Book,” at the Clayton Library. Nothing is more off-putting than a blatant plea to “buy my book.” I see this on a number of sites I belong to along with “vote for my blog,” or “vote for my book trailer.” My reaction – hit the delete button. |
