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.

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...
