Looking for Good Book Marketing Tips?

Are you Twittering? Please follow me for all the gobs of info I want to share here but just don't have time to post it all.

I'm Lisa Copen, the founder of Christian Authors Connection. There are lots of people who sign up for this group, but then are too busy to post. I try to send out a weekly question for people to respond to, but even then we just get a few responses. Let me know what we can do to best serve your needs.

Through consistent small steps anyone can build that "platform" you hear so much about. I hope you will visit my web site for more articles, and information on my book marketing ebooks where I've tried to put all this information together!

Comment by Jo-Anne Vandermeulen on September 26, 2009 at 3:18pm: “I don’t just want it, I NEED IT!”
Have you ever come across ‘something’, pointed and shouted… “I’VE GOT TO HAVE THAT”!?!

Book Bags, Recyclable Tote Bags, Bible Holders, Purses, Passport Holders, Recipe Boxes…ALL specially designed from case-wrap hardcover books. Just way too cool! The front and back side of the book are the sides of the bag/holder and the spine of the book lines the external bottom.

From a distance, the bag or holder is an exact replica of the book. Your choice of custom crafted handles makes this bag/purse an attractive promotional tool that will give your book the massive exposure it deserves.

What an awesome idea for a gift, prize, and personal collection. What an innovative fashion statement that others will spot and desire to copy.
Just think, soon, all viewers will want one too. Now can you picture the success of this marketing tool that will now lift you even higher in your promotional platform? Click HERE to read more.

Comment by Scott A. Shuford on September 5, 2009 at 10:01am: I'm very excited to finally be able to share that we have launched Armageddon!

FrontGate Media has launched the Armageddon Now! social media sites. Armageddon Now! is a graphic novel series that reveals the hidden message of Biblical prophecy in a modern style: world-class graphics with "ripped from the headlines" news.

You can read all about it in my latest blog here on Book Marketing Network.

Comment by Shawna Yaroch on September 3, 2009 at 10:49am: Hi everyone, I apologize for not being able to read the threads or add to the discussions this past two weeks. I have been writing intensely, in a 12 residency at the University, formatting my manuscript to the publishers guidelines, organizing marketing research and changing all the cites in may manuscript to Chicago Style. Plus working my full time job. Wow was that it? LOL

Anyways I am combing through the site today and bookmarking all your sites and helpful links regarding marketing my book. You have all proved to be wonderful and inviting to us for time authors, Thank You.
