Market Your Book on Twitter, Pinterest, and Goodreads IN A DAY

About this ebook
In this ebook, we discuss how to effectively use social media channels to promote your book and your brand. Twitter, for example, is the largest social bookmarking site on the Internet today, with over 500 million users in 2012. It enables users to read and reply to short text-based messages (‘tweets’), and helps users generate a following. When linked to other social media channels, such as Pinterest, for example, it can be a useful promotional tool for your book. Likewise, we explain how social cataloguing websites like Shelfari, with its book clubs and forums, and Goodreads, which allows users to rate and review books, can help you and your book to reach its intended market.

Set yourself up on social bookmarking and social cataloguing sites
When you understand that almost every author spends some of their time networking and marketing their books online, it makes sense to link with as many other authors as you can. Using other authors and their fans to generate interest in your own books is an essential tool to build up a readership. To communicate with other authors and avid readers, try social cataloguing sites like Shelfari or weRead where you can rate, review and discuss your book, as well as books by other authors. Use Meetup to find and join groups united by a common interest such as books. Sites like Digg, Pinterest, Delicious, StumbleUpon, BuzzFeed, Slashdot and Reddit are social bookmarking services that are useful for storing, sharing and discovering popular content.
Affiliate programmes offered by sites like ClickBank and Tradebit can help you to market your e-book as they provide online marketplaces for digital information products. These sites aim to serve as a connection between digital content creators (known as vendors
) and affiliate marketers, who then promote the relevant content to consumers.
We would not recommend spending much money on Google adwords and other pay-per-click
traffic generators. There are campaigns run by authors who have a lot more marketing money than most that fall flat on their face by throwing money at their books and thus throw away their money rather than adopting a better informed, more effective DIY social media approach. Remember that free global advertising is available to you directly via the Internet. The best way to raise your literary profile, build up a readership for your e-book and engage with your readers on a regular basis so you can successfully establish a loyal fan base is through social networking, social bookmarking and social cataloguing. The most used sites are ranked below, but remember that just because they
