2 Steps to Become Viral

One day after a professional organization luncheon, I was stopped by a colleague. She told me that she had been searching for security information. She stated several times that her keyword searches brought her
to my ezinearticle.com articless. This then led her to my websites. Talk about success, I was able to help her and build awareness of Red Bike Publishing at the same time. I also know that she is discussing me in
professional circles. This will keep the buzz up and didn’t cost me anything. I also use the same articles in blogs, newsletters and other publications; a lot of impact with a little time investment.

1. Use "Social Media" or similar function to share newsletters and articles. When you write your newsletter or article using online services, be sure to tap those articles into your social media pipeline. Many offer options to automatically update your status on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

2.  Be sure to also create a signature block or author resource box that appears at the end of your articles, and will automatically be inserted into your articles, newsletters and blogs. For example, at Ezinearticles.com, you can create an over-arching signature block to go with all of your articles, or customize several different author resource boxes to fit your various needs. Try it with blog posts as well. That way, when your articles go viral, so will your signature block complete with point of sale, contact info and website information. See below:

How will you publish your book

  You can publish your book yourself, or publish with others. There are so many options available depending on how much work you want to put into the process. Writing a book is a great experience that can help you further your business opportunities. Publishing with it’s many requirements and resources could prove to be more work than you want to do, especially if writing is not our primary business.   Self-publishing provides an increasingly valuable method of getting information to your audience. With self-publishing, you can write, outsource the printing, and market your book while controlling the process. This type of publishing can be done with very little money up front and, if done right, creates a great source of revenue. If you plan to self-publish, you will need some basic items and information. Books should have copyright protection and each book sold through distribution channels will need International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN). However, with Kindle Direct Publ...

Should I do an audiobook?

Recently I shared with you that I have provided my book as an audio product. This seems like a great opportunity for authors to provide more opportunities for their readers.  Having multiple book formats gives you, the author, more flexibility and sources of potential income. Audiobooks seem to be a very good way to meet a growing market demand as well as provide a revenue source for authors. Before I began my audible journey, I was very reluctant. I wasn't really sure anyone wanted to listen to boring security books. I figured that they wanted hardcover and paperback products. So, for many years I published most of my books in print only. Here's where I talk about what I learned at a recent conference again. Yep, it was there they convinced me to put my books out on Amazon Kindle. I decided to put them to the test. It was tough formatting my books for Kindle, but I stuck with it and for the last few months I have put my books into Kindle, rewrote book descriptions...
