How You Can “Create a Thunder” to Sell Your Book

After spending a year working on my book, I proudly held the physical proof in my hand. As I began planning the official book launch, I was introduced to a cool online marketing tool that helped me achieve a broader reach – broader than I could have ever imagined.

This cost-effective marketing tool helps you “create a thunder” as your announcement travels across social networks. It resulted in my book having a social reach of more than 1.4 million viewers and ranking in Amazon’s Top 10.

The good news? You can do this too when launching your book!

• Create a buzz around your book before it launches.
• Amplify your message across social media.
• Build your social reach without asking your network to dip into their wallets.
• Launch a thunderous online campaign in 3 simple steps.
• Design an attention-grabbing graphics even if you’re not an artist.

There are plenty of programs out there that tease authors with the ongoing lure of getting reviewers to line up and salivate to review your book. They promise to get the attention of the Amazon gods to further push your book in some of the behind the scenes promotions Amazon does.

Do reviews count? Yes, they do. Steve Snyder, author of Shot Down-The True Story of Captain Howard Snyder and the Crew of the B-17 Susan Ruth, had three separate email pushes to Amazon buyers that he didn’t pay a dime for. Yet, one morning, in my email stream was an email from Amazon recommending his book to me with the cover and a buy link. 

Amazon started “pushing” the book out before he had 100 reviews. As an author, Amazon reviews do count. You want them. Steve Snyder now has over 380 excellent reviews on Amazon and increased book sales. Yes, you want both as well.

In this free webinar on how to find Amazon Reviewers really fast, your take-aways include:

●       The number one problem authors try to get away with (but they don’t)
