*The succeeding article is about Marketing Self Published Books,
Online Marketing campaigns, Book Marketing Strategies, and many other
useful tips about book marketing.
Joining social networking sites are a cost-efficient yet effective
marketing resource for authors to promote their books. An interested
author can register for free on most of these sites, and a
well-defined marketing plan is required to successfully wage the
campaign.
A social networking site account is like having a customized website
and a blog page in one setting because the registered author concerned
has his own individual homepage with multimedia features, and members
can also participate in group discussion forums on the site. Authors
who join these sites may also opt to join niche groups of their book
genre or join groups similar to his hobbies and interests.
Social networking sites are convenient marketing platforms and
resource opportunities that authors can benefit to their advantage.
While there are more tedious ways of promoting one's book, social
networking sites offer the promising potential for viral marketing.
The goal then, for marketing authors at these networking sites is to
successfully connect to their intended target readers.
Correspondingly, the aim should be to focus on those specific sites
that are genre-relevant.
From a book marketing perspective, social networking sites are just
one way by which authors can publicize their works. And considering
its structured nature, the marketing author should study carefully the
online behavior of his target demographic, including the niche group
profile, the quality of their blog, and the substance of their
comments.
The book marketing opportunities for these social networking sites
include posting book excerpts of an author-member's homepage,
generating Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, creating links to
author sites and blog sites, writing articles, and participating in
forum discussions. Apprehensive authors may be selective when finding
social networking sites that are relevant to their genre. They may
post comments in network forums, providing back links to their main
web or blog sites.
Authors can adopt a strategy of posting book excerpts or making
controversial essays that will surely make online readers react to
stir up some "buzz" on the merits of the book.
Authors should realize, however, that marketing with social networking
sites requires a long term, interactive commitment. A dilemma exists
in having many social networking accounts because these will be
exacting and time consuming to respond in the long run. For this
purpose, it is better to have one social networking account with many
actively commenting fans and bloggers, than to join many networking
sites that are difficult to maintain.
