323 Authors Work To Build Your Network

Here’s a SMART NETWORKING idea.

Liz Lynch wrote Smart Networking: Attract a Following In Person and Online to teach you how easy it is to use networking to grow your business, attract new readers for your book, and build real relationships whether you meet people online or face to face.

The book has done well and reach best seller status.

Liz has been leveraging her best seller status and using her networking to grow rapidly this year. To celebrate, we got together for Smart Networking Day… a twist on the “buy a book and get gifts” promotions we’ve been doing for years.

Smart Networking by Liz Lynchyou go to the book promotion web site, you won’t be required to buy a book to get gifts. That’s right. Liz teaching to GIVE first when building a network. She knows that a few people might download the 74 free networking gifts and not buy the book, but trusts that most will.

Take a look at the promotion site. Go ahead and download one or many of the free gifts. Share the promo link with your friends, followers and readers and help grow the network of all the authors and businesses involved. (These are great people to know.. the are all GIVERS).

Plus, 11 Smart Networking Tips and a FREE Audio Training Program that goes with the book. No purchase required. We know you will want the book when you see the power of Smart Networking

Will It Work?

Yes. A Resounding Yes!.. We asked authors, bloggers and online businesses to join us in the give first network building program. They responded, without pay, to offer up samples of their best work, gifts that have previously sold well on other sites, and special programs for our new friends.

323 responded… All sharing this site with those that follow them (you can too.. just share http://SmartNetworkingNow.com with your friends and readers.

Connect Your Book With Real World

One of the few areas growing in publishing is the Blogoshpere. While others are shutting down, worried that e-books or the economy will kill sales.. the bloggers I know are talking about bigger advances, best sellers and respect from media and publishers.

How to connect with Bloggers.

There are millions of blogs and bloggers. The vast majority are splogs (blogs set up to spam) or static, underutilized locations with a few posts talking about themselves.

These are NOT the ones to talk to 🙂

Instead, meet the bloggers. They love to congregate. There is a blog meetup or seminar every week in some cities.

This is how Twitter Revolution got started. I wanted to connect with bloggers to promote books, found them online, at blogger conventions and on Twitter. I started using Twitter just to promote other’s books.

At a recent convention, I met Murry Newlands. He pulled out a camera and asked me about my book. You’ll see that I didn’t have one in hand.

Murray did not edit the interview.. put it up on YouTube and I just grabbed th code from them to embed here (a simple cut and paste).

Now I’ll add a link back to Murray to thank him and encourage him to talk about my book and this site.

Watch the video and see how easy this is:

Guest Article: Sell More Books with a Successful Viral Video

Viral videos are a great way to sell books.  According to Wikipedia “A viral video is a video clip that gains widespread popularity through the process of a Internet sharing, typically through email or a Instant messaging, blogs and other media sharing websites. Viral videos are often humorous in nature”.

There are three key points to consider when creating a viral video campaign:

  1. Provide great, but ambiguous, content – Everyone loves to hear a great story. But in a viral video, the story has to be short (less than three minutes). Don’t think of creating a video that will sell your book, think of a video that will keep people entertained.
  2. Generate a “residual” fan base – Once your video is built you can integrate other social media tools to build a user base and communicate with them.  To do this, follow the lessons learned in Social Networking for Authors-Untapped Possibilities for Wealth. It could be as simple as a subscribe link that notifies users of your updates.
  3. SEO it– Your video has to be easily discovered through YouTube search and other popular online video sharing sites. Videos
    should have clear titles, an accurate description and appropriate
    keyword tags so that they can appears correctly in a YouTube search and
    targeted specifically.

A good viral video will spread over the Internet like wildfire. See the
top 20 viral videos circulating around the Internet now at:

Check out this viral video I created for an author during the last
presidential election. It got great coverage. The video is ambiguous
but gets people curious as to what is coming next. A typical viral
video will cost about $2,000 but will be a great return on your
investment if it works properly:

What Century Are You Writing For?

Books have been around for a long time… but we know publishing is changing. Maybe faster than we ever imagined.

Just a few years back, we looked at the publishing industry and saw it was ready for change. We’ve used online promotion techniques to greatly increase the results for our authors. We know that when marketing a book today, it is not enough to print it and hope people find it… but are we changing fast enough

Video gives some more food for thought on what we face today. We’ll be exploring new media, new outlets, and a paradigm shift in the way authors establish themselves as experts, communicate with readers, and turn your book idea into more than just a best seller… these tools will help you create a business from your book.

You Are An Author. Get Some Stuff Published

An new author called the other day. He is writing a book to share what his expertiese and establish himself in the marketplace.

I asked what else he had besides the book. He replied that he was very busy doing what he’s an expert at, and that he’d create that content after the book was published and established.

NO WAY TODAY

This approach may have been viable just a few years ago… and while there’s a rare story of success this way, the chances of success are so small that I’d rather just say they are gone and share a better way.

—> Create a Lot of Content Fast

The tools available today let you write an article, share a photo or video and connect with your readers fast. I explain these in our FREE course at http://BookMarketingStrategy.com

I’m sharing one of these here. This post was written and posted a few minutes after seeing the following video. I’m sharing a video I liked.. it’s amusing, inexpensive and fast.

Take a quick break and watch… while you do, ask yourself how you might get something up TODAY.
