Marketing With Facebook Pages


Marketing With Facebook Pages

Though I don't make a lot of niche security book sales with Facebook, other have created rave opportunities. Most of my marketing is for niche customers. Really not many of my friends or family are appropriate customers for my niche books. However, I've made most of my novel sales using face book pages. Here's how I did it.

Businesses don’t have the same accounts that people do. However, they do have pages. Business pages provide another free opportunity to get your book information out to more people. Consider whether or not
you want pages for each individual book or spinoff product or for your company. You have the option to do one or all. I have a page for books and one for Red Bike Publishing. Personal Facebook accounts can reflect any information added to business pages. Additionally, business pages can be fed by information posted on blogs.

You can also look for other business pages that reflect your niche. Become fans of other pages and invite them to your page. Your information will spread by word of mouth and soon people will be able to recognize you on a wider scale. Put your business profile, pictures of your books and website links to your books. Invite your friends to become fans of your page. Use applications to link your Facebook page to your blogs. When you update your blog, it feeds directly to your page. These entries will reflect on the walls of those who have become fans of your page. Pages also provide great milestone feedback. You can view how many people go to your page and measure their interaction. The more interaction the better the statistics.

Facebook does provide another avenue for branding and word of mouth. Once you have a personal account, you can create a Facebook page for your business. On the left side of your profile page, select the
hyperlink for “Ads and Pages”. Next, select “Create Page”. This will bring you to a new page where you can put all of your business, book and product information.

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 Publishing (K

LCCN, PCN or CIP? How to Catalog Your Self-Published book

Catalog options mentioned here are available only to United States  (US) publishers with offices and staff in the US who are available to answer  bibliographic questions about their books. The Library of Congress  Control Number (LCCN) Catalog in Publication (CIP) are two  well known catalog systems. The CIP provides free distribution of prepublished and further distribution of completely published books to libraries  and book vendors world-wide. The PCN provides an abbreviated  record but is not further disseminated to libraries on the same scale  as the CIP. Here is a secret. This book is primarily written for nonfiction authors  who want to self-publish a professional book available to specialized  organizations or professionals. It will most likely be available through  Amazon.com and other on-line bookstores and distributors. This is  the widest distribution effort and your best marketing source. You will  most likely use print on demand and rely on word of mouth, social ne

Self-Publishers, Pay Attention to Detail

CreateSpace is an excellent self-publishing solution. I primarily use Lightning Source for most of my publishing needs, but there are some advantages of printing with CreateSpace as well. Primarily, books are listed “in stock” at Amazon.com and CreateSpace stores if printed with CreateSpace. My Lightning Source books are available on Amazon.com but usually not listed “in stock”. Thus, I often make my books available for print with both Lightning Source and CreateSpace. If you chose to use one or the other, or both, make sure your title information, ISBN and other book administrative details are accurate and listed the same in both venues. Without that level of detail, your book manuscript and cover submissions may not be approved. Additionally, if you try to link your printed book with an Amazon.com Kindle version, or your paperback with your hardback version, it may prove difficult if title information details vary too greatly. For example, my manuscript is entitled Red Bike Publis
