Drawing Attention to Your Facebook Pages

You may remember an earlier post describing why and how you might create a Facebook page for each of your books or products. Using my publishing company as an example,  I created a page for my company, each of my books and a group that hosts a professional certification.
Did you know that you can log into your individual pages and use make comments and “like” other comments as that entity?
Here’s an example: I have a Facebook Page called 80s Movie Reviews. To generate interest with other people who enjoy the 80’s genre, I searched Facebook with the keywords: “80’s, 80s, 80s music”, and etc.  Once I find those pages I make comments on their wall and “like” them using my 80’s Movie Reviews profile.
Here’s how you do it. Select your page. On the right hand column toward the top is “Use Facebook as _”Your pages name”__ page”. Once you make the selection, any comments, shares, likes and etc will be attributed to your page and not your regular profile. Instead of people seeing “Jeff Bennett likes this page”, they say, “Cool there’s an 80s movie review page, I’m going there.” And, they did.
 This technique has increased visitors to my blog and Facebook pages by 200%. Imagine what it can do for your book, product or fun trivia page. Hopefully it will feed the publicity mill and give your pages the attention they deserve. Don’t forget to include a link or call to action for potential customers to buy your products.
Do this for all of your pages. Once finished, might want to revert back to your normal profile. If so, go to the top right corner of the Facebook window and select the down arrow. Click “Return to ____page” to reset your Facebook page to its original configuration.
For examples, come visit my pages, if you enjoy them, please “like”:

3 Ways to Build Credibility By Teaching a Course

Residence classes This is a real opportunity to build credentials and create a real academic presence. Traditional education opportunities are solid and recognized ways to get your message out. Teaching provides a return on investment but takes hard work and persistence to get started. Also there are two different avenues. You can host these classes yourself, or you can get them sponsored. Host the Residence Class Yourself Just like self publishing you can control the product. You have the freedom to create and do not need to seek approval from anyone to get started. You choose to set up the class time, the material, the advertising, and everything else you need to start a successful course. It also means that you have to bring in the resources yourself. For a residence class, you will need a classroom or similar environment, curriculum, projector, screen, training aids, certificates and supplies. There is a terrific possib...

World Class Marketing Installation 1-Bone Fides

World class marketing can be easily executed by self publishers and authors. It is one thing to be good at writing, know the self publishing industry and capable of getting books to market. It’s quite another to become recognized as a leader in your niche industry, recruit assistance within industry and become recognized for the good work. In the second example, your efforts perpetuate themselves as you earn trust; others become force multipliers and quickly engage and support your vision. One way to ensure such success is to cross product market. One way to do that is through professional branding. Of itself branding is not the answer to instant success, but does complete the picture. For example, there are many authors who are very influential and well respected; their work stands alone. Cross product marketing for them would continue to demonstrate their dedication to their industry, technical competence and leadership. When you achieve a recognizable brand, such that your...

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...
