Author Promotions, Building, Launching & Promoting A Authors Blog

Thinking about launching a authors blog to promote and market your book. Personally I prefer to use blogger, however last night I came by a authors site that was launched using Wordpress. I particularly liked the template the author had chosen and the fact that the blog functioned so well. Having a few blogs at Wordpress myself (I'm a blogger addict) I decided to add one more which took me all of about two hours to create, arrange and post various posts on. You might check out this template and style, Christian Book Marketing at WordPress .

Building the blog and launching it is only half the project. The other have is marketing the blog so that readers and book lovers can find it. Otherwise you are just another blog lost in the endless millions of sites online.

Christian Book Marketing has the ability to promote a authors blog and drive traffic to your blog.

Doing Business God's Way

Inspired by the Holy Spirit. Pray, Practice & Prosper - Doing Business God's Way.

Because our ways are not His ways, we have allowed ourselves to think about money and wealth incorrectly. As a result, in 2008, the United States experienced the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1930’s. Can it happen again? Of course. Can it be prevented? Yes, with the right attitude about the acquisition of personal and corporate resources.

This is a one year devotional book describing these attitudes and how best to put them into practice. This book focuses on the needs of those in the marketplace, spending the majority of their lives working at their career.

God can mold your character to become who and what God has called you to be. It is done through the gift of the Holy Spirit which creates a clear vision that will guide your daily choices. As you make these choices, following the leading of the Holy Spirit, you can develop habits that grow character, improve decision making and prosper every aspect of your life with the right attitudes. Your job IS your ministry and spending 40+ hours a week at work is a great opportunity to live life God called you to live... even as you prosper through it.

Book Marketing For The Self Published Christian Author

Thinking about self publishing or maybe you just published your first Christian book. Now what? Maybe you are on Amazon or listed online at many online Christian and non Christian book stores? Building a online presence and getting out there is important. But what if ....
What if no one can find your book in the millions that are listed online? Just because your book, title and name as a author is on a few great sites doesn't mean that people will find it. Ask yourself this question. Who is going to search for my brand new book release by title or my name as author?
This is why the self published author must market their books. You must create a online presence, promote and market your book so that people can find it. This is not easy and the competition is enormous.
Here's are three first steps that must be put into place.
1) A authors website or blog.
2) A book review.
3) A book trailer.
4) Some smart online marketing of the above three items.
For more information on how the self published Christian author should promote and market their book, take the time to read over Christian book Marketing and be sure to do your homeword before taking on the task.

Book Marketing Steps For The Christian Author

Here are some basic must do's that I recommend to all authors with regards to marketing their books, both Christian and secular.

1st: You must have a authors website or blog that showcases you as a author, your book, that shares about your book, where and how to order it and how to contact you as author.
2nd: You must have a professional book review service review your book and write a professional book review. Here is a hint, make sure that you use a christian book review service and not a secular book review service.

3rd: You must create a online presence so that book lovers can find you and your book. This is where your authors website or blog comes into play, however, you must market your site also. While you can perform some of the marketing yourself by joining various author book related sites, you must also set a budget aside for a book marketing campaign.

4th: Authors business cards and book markers are another great marketing tool. Be sure to place your book title, ISBN number, and website address on them along with other information. I recomend starting with Vista Print.

5th: Creating and marketing. Let me say that again. Creating and MARKETING a book trailer that showcases your book in another powerful way to promote and market your book.

6th: You must pursue book signings at local bookstores, churches and wherever God may open doors for you. I also recommend that you study up on how to put on a great book signing and one that is designed to attract book lovers while also impressing the bookstore management at the same time. A well planed successful book signing event can open further doors for additional book signing events.

7th and most important. Do your homework before you put your plans into motion.

Author Promotions For The Self Promoting Author

In this economy many authors are choosing the self promoting route. While most author promotions and book marketing experts don't recommend this, there's no doubt that there has been a increase in the self promoting author and especially those that have self published. If that's you, I encourage you to take the time and do your homework before jumping into the marketing arena. While it may seem easy, one soon finds out that it's not, few find success and it's very time consuming.
Yes you can build your own blog, but the question is do you know how to build and launch a successful blog and do you have the time to learn the process and everything surrounding that process? Yes you can join various author sites, interact with other authors, share your book, book cover and so on. However, are other authors your market? Yes there are some great authors forums out there, however, and once again is that where book lovers hang out or authors? Then there's the Internet, the search engines, key words, labels, how the search engines work and many other things to consider coupled with the fact that they are constantly changing and evolving.
My point being while all these things can be fun and a part of building a network while creating book buzz, they are and should be seen as secondary to a well thought out authors promotions and book marketing plan. Here is a simple author promotions and book marketing plan for the new and self published author. Let's call it class 101 for authors.

1) Have a professional authors web site built.
2) Get your own .com that fits your book and marketing plan.
3) Have someone with the knowledge build or help you build and launch a professional blog.
4) Create a network that promotes you, your book, your web site and your blog that markets and promotes you as a author and your book not to other authors, but to book lovers within your market and buying audience.
5) Understand that you will not become a overnight success, that it takes hard work and time.

That's simple, now get started.

Book Trailers - Key's To Success

Book Trailers: The Key to Successful Video Marketing

Here is a article that I came across written by Sarah Weinman, the practical writer about the power of using book trailers. As many of you know the book trailer craze has exploded with both authors and publishers using book trailers to promote and market books just as the motion picture industry has used movie trailers to real in ticket purchases.

The article reads as follows:

It used to be a big deal when the author bio on the back of a book included contact information such as an e-mail address or a Web site. Now hardly anyone bats an eye when a writer—new, emerging, mid career, or veteran—blogs alone or with others, sends out missives via MySpace or Facebook, and checks in on occasion with Twitter, GoodReads, RedRoom, or the latest Web 2.0 social networking site. But none of these Internet marketing approaches reflects the publishing industry's struggle to convert the latest technology into increased book sales as forcefully as video content—specifically the book trailer, an idea that's turned into explosive reality thanks to broadband Internet connections, the astounding success of YouTube as a distribution channel, and the almost desperate need to capture the attention of a younger generation that is allegedly reading far less than the previous one.

Marketing And Promoting Your Book Less The Pitfalls

Every author soon comes to realize that author promotions and book marketing is a world of it's own. It requires hard work, making the right connections and pressing through the barriers.

Many times authors believe that once their book is published that 1,000's of book lovers will purchase it. Other times authors believe that their publisher will put together a magical promotion that will place their book in the top 10 best sellers.

For the self published author, many soon come to understand that promoting and marketing their book is more time consuming than writing and publishing it. The list of truths, realities and wake up calls is endless.

Have you ever wondered how many great books never made the top 100 list only because no one read them due to poor or lack of marketing?

Authors, you must promote and market your books finding targeted marketing while saturating that market. You must take the time to find cost affective ways to accomplish this and free marketing is not affective. It's just free.

Don't fall into the "I can do it myself pitfall and attempt to promote and market your book all by yourself". You must set aside a marketing budget and put that money to good use.

The High Price Of Author Promotions and Book Marketing

I spend a lot of time online and come by many sites that offer author promotions and book marketing. Some of the prices start at $500.00 plus dollars and that's justfor some basic author promotions and book marketing. One site that comes to mind offers three promotions packages and the high end package goes for $995.00. That's a lot of money and you have to sell a lot of books just to recover that money. Sure cuts into royalties quickly.

If you are looking for some expanded online author promotions and book marketing. Contact us. We can put together a great marketing plan for you that will expand your online presence and place you in prime positioning not on one site, but in a network of well established sites.

Author Book Buzz Craze

Daily authors and writers run around to author orientated sites, networks and communities posting their books, information, links and creating book buzz. What amazes me is the dedication and time that a author or writer puts into this type of promotion and book marketing. The magnet of attraction is that it's free. One thing is for sure, many great online friendships are birthed. However, when it's all done, said, and over, just how many copies of a authors books are actually sold to yes, other authors.

95% of all the traffic to these sites are authors trying to sell their books and a very high percentage of the repeat visitors are authors. Now why would a author only target other authors? That just makes no sense.

Authors, if you want to create book buzz, promote and market your books. You must use targeted marketing finding targets, audiences and places where book lovers (the buying public) look for books. Promoting and marketing your books to other authors is not using the power of the Internet to your advantage. However, many of you have either come to know this or are realizing it.

Take some time to look around our site and you will find some valuable information about prime targeted author promotions and book marketing.

24/7/365 Day Author Promotions & Book Marketing

IS YOUR BOOK WORTH 27/7/ 365 DAYS OF BOOK MARKETING?

Thousands of dollars are spent publishing books. Authors spend endless hours writing them. How much money and time are spent on marketing them?

Many authors make the mistake of not marketing their books or self marketing them. Now how is a buying audience going to purchase your book if they don't know it exists?

Maybe you have paid for the standard single marketing page that your publisher offers. So have thousands of others. Maybe you paid for the standard publishers marketing package and you are in the in print book data base. So have millions of others and there you sit, lost, faceless and nameless amoung the millions.

We provide expanded online marketing within a network of sites. I hope your not missing this. I'm not talking about author promotions and marketing on one site. I'm talking about author promotions within a network of sites. Further and unlike other marketing offers that comes with a monthly renewal fee. Our marketing packages are for one full year of marketing with no monthly renewal fees. That's right. One full year and with no monthly renewal fees.

For information, contact us by email at kingdomexpansion1@gmail.com and we will prepare a marketing program designed just for you.

The Best Online Book Marketing Is Targeted Book Marketing

Too many times the self promoting author settles for any and all opportunities to share their books at any site. As if the more exposure and links, the better. Yet many times the effort and time that it takes to accomplish this would have been better used with a game plan.

Would a company that sells vitamins put all their efforts and marketing into the automotive industry? Would a company that sells medical supplies put all their efforts and marketing into the food industry? No and it is the same with the self promoting author. You must find your market. The market that best suits your book.

If you have written a book about fishing, your market is anything that has to do with fishing, to include the outdoors, camping, fishing supplies, camping supplies and so on. If you have written a book about healthy foods, then there's your market. Health, foods, healthy living and so on.

Find the market that best suits your book. Google that market and find ways to market your book within that market. At the very least, you will get some insight.

While you here read some of our other posts on book marketing and view our links.

Christian Author Promotions And Book Marketing

Are you a Christian author looking for ways to promote and market your book? Maybe you have yet to create a authors site where book lovers can find your book and other important information. Regardless of where you are in the promotions and marketing process, we can help.
Take some time to read over our site and then contact us. We can help you get the marketing that you deserve within a network of Christian sites where your book will have prime front page ad placement within a Christian marketplace.

Author Sites, Blogs And Book Marketing

Too many authors don't take advantage of the fact that they can build some nice author sites and blogs to share their books and other important information while creating a online presence and readership. I see many authors that settle for a single page offered by the publisher that they published with. Other authors believe and depend on other online promotions, in print book data basis and sales from Amazon. (Amazon is great)

Yet the problem is that many times with regards to the in print book data basis, the single pages offered by some publishers, book buzz at authors sites and where authors hang out coupled with even the biggies. If no one knows who you are, the title of your book, and the ISBN number. Who's going to find you among the thousands and sometimes millions of books that are listed? No one, that's who. You must promote and market yourself as a author and your book.

It's important for a author to have a authors site or blog and blogs these days are the way to go. With a authors blog you can showcase your book, the book description, the preface, reviews, about the author, contact information, how to order and other important information. With a authors blog you can create a online presence, create a readership and friends, family and book lovers can visit your site and find out about you as author and your book. There's really no end to what you can do and the additional marketing and promotions that can be sought once you have a professional looking working authors blog.

Here are a few basic author sites that we have assisted authors with as some authors just don't have the time, the knowledge or the desire to create, design, build and launch a authors site to blog. If you need some assistance, advice or just some pointers, contact us via email at kingdomexpansion1@gmail.com

Print On Demand Publishing And Book Sales

If you have published a book with a print on demand publisher or have self published through some other means, you will soon find out what all authors soon learn. That most publishers publish and print books, but perform very little author promotions and book marketing for the author.

Sure you can order the standard book marketing packages and get your books in the online data base and even on Amazon. However there are millions of books in these data basis and listed on endless online bookstore data basis. One question. What are the chances of someone magically searching for you as a author by your name, your book by it's title or the ISBN number? It rarely happens. The truth and reality is that you must promote yourself as a author and market your book to perspective book buyers if you want to sell books.

There are way too many struggling authors that have fallen for the big number catches. Get your book listed on 25,000 online bookstores. Sounds impressive and actually the numbers are, but again the problem is that there you are amidst the millions of other authors and books and no one knows who you are or the title of your book.

You must create and find ways to create strategic expanded marketing if you want to find success which leads to the next problem, which is, that most authors and writers are not marketing professionals or online specialists.

I am amazed at all the posts, interactions and comments that authors place in author sites hoping to sell copies of their books, to whom, but other authors. Just imagine if one took all that time, effort and interaction and used targeted marketing. That's not to say that the interactions are a waste of time because there are great things to be learned by other authors.

If you are looking for some strategic expanded author promotions and book marketing contact us. We can create a author promotions and marketing plan that will help you get the exposure you need while expanding your online presence and reach into additional communites, networks and social communites. Then maybe some book lovers will know who you are, the title of your book and how to find you. Be sure to visit Christian Book Marketing

Authors May 2010 Bring You Much Success

With 2009 in the record books, we all have 2010 to look forward to. May it be a year of accomplishments and success for many. With 2010 freshly starting out, now is the time for every author to put things into perspective and come up with a plan for 2010.

From previous works and published books, manuiscript preperations, editing, book cover designs, to new book projects and releases, publishing needs, book signings, book events and all the promotions involved, plus the task of a fresh authors website and of course author promotions and book marketing for the year ahead.

Over this last year, I have been following and reading some great writings that help authors with tips, information, ideas and lots of advice about how to promote and market their books. One thing that I find is many of these sites have thousands of authors registered that all interact, share their books, author sites and so on. Sometimes I wonder where that goes with regards to book sales. Author's all trying to sell each other their books. Meanwhile there are millions and millions of book lovers out there that read 10 and 20 books per year.

Now if I wanted to sell tires, I don't think I would try to sell retail tires to my competitors that makes tires. Seems to me, I would want to focus my marketing on car owners and not the people that make tires for cars.

Let me encourage you to find ways, and new lands to promote and market your books at. As a author of a new book you want to find ways to promote and market your book to a buying audience, not to other authors on sites and forums where authors hang out.

Of course these sites provide great interactions, friendships, information, tips and for the new author looking to learn and gain in site. You will find vast amounts of information. In fact here a some that I highly recommend.
