Authors, Get The Online Book Marketing You Deserve
I just spent the last 3 -4 hours searching book marketing sites looking at marketing prices. I was in shock to some of the prices that I found. From $25.00 for a small banner for one month on sites that were not even yet ranked to $400.00 just to build a one page authors page.
Then as I searched further, I found additional sites charging even more money to market a author and his book. Actually it's not some of the prices that burdened me. It was the terrible layouts, graphics, images, font choices and just the unprofessional designs. First impressions make a HUGE difference, and I was not impressed at much of what I viewed.
Authors beware. Just because you come by a site that has other authors listed, doesn't mean that you should jump on board. Take your time, do some research and look around before you buy the cow. Otherwise you may not get any milk.

Author Websites, Media Blogs & Book Marketing
If you've published a book with a POD publisher, half the work is done. Now you have to market your books and that is just as important as writing and publishing a book.
Maybe you've paid for the 25,000 online bookstore promotion package. OK, cool your in the data base, along with millions of other author's and books. Maybe you've paid for the national and international promotions package. That's great, now your again among the millions and millions of online books.
Have you Googled your books title, or maybe your name and found that your book is found on the search engines? That's great, however in all honesty does anyone other than you, your publisher and a few friends know the name of your book or who you are? Let's be honest, if your a first time author or a unknown author, who's going to search for your book by it's title or your name as the author?
As a author, you must market yourself and your book. That's where having a author media site becomes your starting point. You can showcase your book, a description of your book, your author description, some interesting things about yourself, share important links and share your contact information and where and how book lovers can order your book.
Provided that you can order your books from your publisher at a author's discount. Then you can sell them right from your authors site and the profits by far exceed royalties.
Your author's media site becomes your online worldwide business card. It is where people can find you, read about your book, you as the author, about local book signings and whatever other interesting information and content you provide. Without your own personal website, or authors blog, your just another book and author among the millions and millions found online.
Some author's join every book club they can find, sign every guest book they can and join other author communities hoping that this will bring book sales. However, in the end, this usually proves to be a lot of work with very little results.

Is Your Book Selling
Is you're book selling? Are people visiting your author media site and ordering your book or are you hoping all those online bookstores will sell it for you? Print On Demand has it's ups and downs, that's for sure.
If you are a author that is waiting for your book to be found among the millions that are listed online through all those online bookstores, chances are you've learned that sales are not what you had hoped for. From that big name site clear down to those smaller sites, 99% of author's find that they offer the sky and produce very little unless you're in the top 100 daily and month after month.
Every author MUST market his or hers books and author media site. Selling books directly as a author by far produces more profits than royalties unless you're selling thousands of books each week. The key is creating a attractive author media site that has a great layout and great content and marketing your author media site. The key is creating friendships with others through creating a personal author's media site that people want to visit and spend some time at. Afterall, it's people that buy books.

Author Media Blog Banners
Here are three simple examples of blog banners that I created for three of the sites within our Christian Network of sites. Creating a simple but colorful author media's blog banner can add life to your author's media blog or site. We can help, simply contact us at: kingdomexpansion1@gmail.com
Author Media Blogs & Book Covers
This is a book cover that we designed back in 2008. Note the clarity, colors and font layout which was all done in PhotoShop CS3. Also note the size and upload on this page which is very important when creating a author media site or blog. Of course within this management program Blogger offers three upload sizes, small, medium and large, however the upload file must first be prepared to get a quality graphic when uploaded.
Many times I come across author media sites and the book cover has been uploaded wrong which places the cover out of proportion and looks very un professional. It's important to have the right programming and knowledge when creating a jpg and uploading your book cover to your author's media blog. You can also click on the image and see a larger view of the cover.
The above author of this book was well on his way to success, however he then decided that he didn't want to do book signings at local bookstores or further pursue sales. That after making the top 100 numerous times at various online bookstore sites and selling out of his original author orders of over 400 books in the first 60 days.
If you need some assistance, advice or some graphic art work, contact us, however make sure that you truly want to be a successful author which includes additional marketing, book signings and stepping into all the doors that open and come your way. Contact us at: kingdomexpansion1@gmail.com
Author Media Blog Banners & Graphics
Your authors media blog and site's layout is very important. First impressions make a huge difference and the competition out there for author's is tremendous. Having a professional author media blog banner, some additional graphics and showcasing the cover of your book is very important.
The designs on this page are a simple front and rear cover that we designed for a 10 page writing for a local event.
If you are in need of some graphic art work, book cover designing, a custom banner for your authors media site, contact us at kingdomexpansion1@gmail.com and we just might be able to assist you depending upon you're needs.
Free Marketing For Author's & Thier Books
Many times a author will run around to various sites, sign guest books and become a member of every site that offers guest book signing and membership hoping that this will generate sales.
However, what if as a author you only concentrated on premiere sites rather that just any and every site. Using this perspective will save you lots of time and further associate you as a author, your book and your authors media page not with just everyone and anyone, but selected premiere sites. This makes a huge difference in you're online presence, not to mention your association. It also will save you lots of wasted time and disappointment.
Here is a great site for authors to share, list their books and even showcase their author's media blog. It's called goodreads and you can create a membership, list you're book, authors media site, start groups and interact with other authors. You WILL also find lots of insight and information through you're membership and online interactions at goodreads.
