Here’s my voice … me reading less than 70 seconds from my newest book (it’s free up to a 3 minute audio clip), Snappy Sassy Salty …
Audioboo is FREE if your audio clips (or boos) are less than 3 minutes. For longer, you need to sign up for a payment plan. You can upload unlimited numbers of boos, build your own Board playlists and share everywhere.
Here’s what I’m going to do with them: Sprinkle throughout my social media channels–Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, use in blogs to share something with my voice as well as written words … I love sharing tips, and this is going to be a great resource for getting that across. The question is … what will you do?
Think …
- Recordings for your website, blog, other social media platforms.
- Add a little music.
- For fiction authors, create voices for your characters.
- Create a slew of tips to share daily, weekly, whatever.
- For book group followers–read something from your book and toss out a question to them–then set up a chat on line.
- Share/broadcasts events, including happenings and book signings.
- Share any updates about your writing, new book, your business.
- Use your imagination …
I know we are all OD’d and overwhelmed. This was a tool that I quickly saw the use, grabbed it and in my over-achiever mode, dove in instantly. And oh, my, I even wrote a blog on it. Yes it took another 30 minutes of my time … but great tips are worth getting out there. Love it!
