Author And Book Marketing Tips

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

Writers want their work to be read by many; it will mean that they can keep on writing for a living and not as a side-line. Starting out is always hard for any first-time writer. You do not know what to do or how best to market your work. You will probably not be able to afford a high-quality, big city P. R. Firm to do your marketing for you. You may not even have an agent. So how do you get your work known?

Some authors have realized there is a great need for information about writing books. They have therefore, cleverly, written books about how to advertise the book you have written. The tips in the books may or may not be useful, but what IS useful is how you have learned about their book in the first place. Make your own web page and fan site. No one needs to know that you do not have dedicated fans doing this for you. Write a blog. Make a funny video and put it on YouTube. Advertise on your social networking sites. Make your technology (especially free technology!) work for you.

You may actually be in a better situation financially if you live in a small town instead of a big city. Someone from a small town getting a book published is big news in that area. Residents will rush out to see what their neighbor was able to create. Local media and papers will focus stories on you, which is always excellent and free advertising. In a big city, no one would care. You must use every single chance you get in order to get your name out there.

You want to give just enough information about the book to make people interested. Do not talk too much about it or give anything away. Be a professional and think about the business of you. Every story or interview is just like a job interview. Do not say anything off-color or make stupid jokes. You do not want to risk alienating a single person. Make sure you are well spoken but do not try to sound ‘too smart’ and risk sounding like an idiot when no one has any clue about what you are talking about. Not everyone knows critical theory or the Laconian or Derrida point of view. Keep it simple and entertaining.

You must play on everyone’s memories of you. Talk about the town’s influence on your writing, or your high school, or other local celebrities in order to give a place pride. Be humble. Remember that people will know your parents or remember you from school and will be eager to see what you have done.

Do not be afraid to put up fliers and do television spots. Network as much as you can, cash in favors, and do not burn any bridges. You will need as much help as you can get in moving your publicity up to the next level.

The Success Mindset and Internet Marketing

Monday, January 18th, 2010

In the internet marketing industry, you may be selling other peoples’ products or promoting someone else’s business opportunity but at the end of the day, if you don’t have a success mindset and treating it as a business, make no mistake, you WILL fail (at least, fail at making it successful).

Now please don’t think that the future of your online business is doomed from the start. That is not my point.

Keep your mindset in a problem-solving, positive state and you will be in a better position to take in the new skills that you will need when you are changing the industry you work in.

Starting an online business can be an emotional journey; your first feelings will be of excitement of the good things to come such as the potential freedom, income and lifestyle.

Then, as you look further beneath the surface you soon realise that there is a whole world of tools, resources and techniques that you need to know about and learn. This is when you start to get those overwhelming feelings of information overload.

It’s at this stage that your mindset can change to feelings of doubt and uncertainty creeping in and you end up saying to yourself “there’s too much to learn. I can’t do this”. Well, I have one thing to say to you at this point. Yes you can – if you decide from the start that you’re going to.

“What one man can do, another man can do.”

So don’t be surprised to feel frustrated as you go through your steep learning curve in gaining the tools and skills to be successful online.

During your journey, if you ever get to a point of feeling totally overwhelmed and ready to throw it all in, then just remember that those feelings are normal and all you need to do is readjust your mindset, go through it and emerge on the other side.

My final thoughts:

The most important thing to online success is proper mindset. If you start slipping into self-doubt, then go back to basics and sort your head out.

Use the industry you are a part of and educate yourself. If that means taking a week out of marketing to get back on track, then that is what it means.

Whatever you want to achieve, I believe that if you keep an abundant successful mindset and clear intention and goals, then only your own lack of action will block you from actually allowing yourself to receive the things you want in life. Online marketing not only gives you the tools and resources to develop yourself, it gives you a system to be able to turn your plans into reality.
