Is Your Book Cover a Hit or Miss With Readers?
August 26, 2009 by C.F. Jackson
Filed under Keys to Success
So your manuscript is sold and you have sent it to a publisher for touch-up. What is missing? Ah…it’s a cover for your new glorious text. Well…what’s the big deal I can let my publishers take care of that aspect right? Not so fast. You’re the author. Therefore, you have the granted power to make authorial decisions. Do not leave it strictly in the publisher’s hands.
What lures most potential customers to buy a book? Is it the content? Sometimes it may be the content. After all, myself I like to read the synopsis of the book before making my purchase decision. But ultimately it is the book cover right? Much like the old adage “you eat with your eyes” the same is true for books. Something with visual appeal regardless of the content is much more likely to be sold over a drab cover.
However, you may have that colorful eye-catcher in mind but does it fit with the story? I cannot tell you how many times I’ve run across texts that have a cover which is may consist of vivid imagination and then the story’s plot may be that of a funeral or disease. By this point I am thinking “Whoa there. If that wasn’t even planned well, how will the book read?”
This is perhaps the most over-looked marketing technique when it comes to marketing your book. And the fact is, publishers like when you can incorporate your own idea or even your own design because that’s less work for them to do. If you know a graphic designer or what’s more are one; perfect! You are now on your way to making that book jump off the shelf or off the web page a little quicker!

Filed under Keys to Success
Have you been asking yourself: What is blogging? or How do I start blogging?
It’s been years since blogging has been practiced. But it’s just recently that it
has been considered as one of the addicting fads. Many teenagers have resorted
to blogging as an outlet for their emotions, a little online nook where they can
blurt out whatever just bugs them or whatever makes them feel elated. Savvy
marketers have discovered that blogging is one of the best Internet marketing
methods that won’t cost you a cent.
Exactly what is blogging? Blog is the widely used term that refers to web log.
Basically, a blog is an online journal. A blog could be set up to no cost at all,
and can be used for just for the fun of it or for business reasons.
Blogging for your Internet business is one surefire way to boost the visibility of
your products and services. Here are a few ways to boost your internet advertising
with the help of a blog:
1. Make your clients or customers abreast on your website’s alterations. Your new
products and affiliate websites could also be announced through your blog.
2. Keep track of your business objectives and plans through open writing. Your blog
content can be easily stored through archives. What could be better than searchable
information that could be easily accessed by anyone browsing the web, right?
3. Share your opinions, advice or reviews on specific services or products that are
related to your business. Publishing is a very easy process with blogging.
4. Include links that will collect back links and subsequently improve your ranking on
search engines. This could be better executed through putting well-written articles
in your website. Affiliate links could also be included in your blog to earn more extra
income.
5. Collect responses through the ability of blogs to capture comments from your blog
readers. You can learn and improve your products and services through the feedback
from your readers.
6. Connect easily with other bloggers. When other bloggers notice that you have something
good on your blog, they will put you in their favorite lists that will automatically link you
to their blogs.
So, how do you set up a blog? Here are some of the options you can make use of to take
advantage of this fun way to advertise your Internet business.
Either you use a free hosted blog or obtain a hosting service to self-host your blog. The
most favorable blog service is WordPress.com and then there are other services such as
LiveJournal and Blogger.com. Those hosts will provide you with easy instructions on how
to put up your blog.

8 Free Book Marketing Website Promotion Techniques…Why Not?
March 25, 2009 by C.F. Jackson
Filed under Keys to Success
Can you use free book marketing website promotion? Is that even feasible?
Of course yes! Nowadays, your website can amass increased website traffic in
no time thanks to free website promotion.
How does this free book marketing website promotion go anyway? What are things
to be done?
1. Enlist your website.
Look for the hottest Internet directories and enlist your site there. This is the easiest
and most effective free website promotion tactic. Start with this step and the rest of
the good things will follow.
Just don’t forget to evaluate your website and make it ready for a higher chance to get
accepted in your directory of choice.
2. Know your forums.
One reason why forums are created is for free website promotion for everyone. Log in,
post actively, let them know about your site in every post and you attract instant visitors
right there.
This doesn’t mean to straight in and start marketing your books or service. Join the community
and add value to the already created forum.
Be sure to use your signature area to point people back to your website. The more valuable
posts you make, the more times your signature will be read.
3. Write a press release.
Release your writing skills again and start up a press release that advertises your site! This
is a free website promotion tactic that you can do anytime. Type a brief paragraph or two and
email it to your friends, colleagues, internet e-zines, newspapers and other media and it will
generate traffic for you.
4. Be friendly online.
Free website promotion means you need to be friendly to other webmasters. Why, you ask? So they can link you immediately! Establish contacts and never tire of requesting to have your site linked from others.
5. Write an article.
Say, your book is about a travel agency. Write an article about the perks of traveling or the hottest
travel spots in the world. On the concluding paragraph, mention your website in passing. This
article works as an advertorial and doubles as a free website promotion approach.
6. Just let the whole world know about your site.
What is free website promotion without the word of mouth? Insert your website, its URL and features
in daily conversations and let the good news spread from one mouth to another!
7. Make a banner ad.
Make a banner ad for your site and ask another webmaster to do the same for his site. Then swap!
Be sure that ads complement your site. I’d suggest to keep this exchange to a minimum to avoid distraction from your website.
8. Take up a free website promotion course online.
Yes, there are free website promotion tutorials. But don’t you know that you can actually take a free
website promotion course that can help you out further? Part of the free website promotion program
is signing up for newsletters.
A great place to get started is with http://www.VirtualTutorialCenter.com. It’s filled with great tutorials
to help any author with learning how to market a book online.
When you make a website, you need not pay anything to promote it. You just read it — there is such
a thing as free website promotion!
