| Re: How to market your book online
Another tip - get a website up with your own domain name ASAP, whether or not your book is finished or even started. If you can't get your name/pseudonym as a domain name, make sure the name you write under is in the title of every page (the one that appears it the top of the web browser window) and in the body of at least the home page.
Then - and this is the important bit - link to your site wherever you can: include the homepage URL when you post on other people's blogs, include it in forum signatures wherever you can, etc. Why? Because Google rates sites by, among other things, the number of links leading to it. It's worked for me - anyone Googling my name will discover that several of the top hits on Google (including #1) are for my website and Twitter feed. OK so I've been online for a long time, but the sooner you start, the sooner you will see the benefits... |
