Many readers find out about new books from email forwards, online reviews, targeted advertisement campaign and alerts from sites on which they are members. Getting your book in front of the right eyes online can drastically increase sales. It is important to know who your audience is and narrow your efforts to websites they frequent. When including online marketing in your sales strategies try to spread out the types of sites you use for advertising. For example, you can use the following three types of online marketing to reach your readers.
o Author website – Create an attractive website that will appeal to your genre and not just your current book. If you choose, you can create a separate site for your most current book.
o Online Bookstores – Online bookstores like Amazon and Overstock are great ways to get your book in front of a global audience and increase the number of consumers who will see your book.
o Word of Fingers – I use these words instead of word of mouth because when you’re online, your fingers do the talking for you. Your goal here is get people communicating online about your book.
An author website will communicate to your existing readers and offer information for new potential readers. It will include your biography (this can cover whatever information you decide to share with viewers); any events you will be attending; other books you have written and of course a sales page for readers to purchase your book(s). When establishing your theme for the site, you should know what type of persona you are trying to portray and be consistent with that theme. Be sure to reply promptly to all posts or messages you receive through the site. This will show your readers that you genuinely care about them and their feedback.
Online bookstores or rather online stores that sell books are easy and accessible ways for readers to learn about and purchase your book. There are several ways to directly and indirectly utilize the services these sites offer. When using any online sales techniques in your book marketing plan, your goal is to always keep costs to a minimum. By listing your books on these sites you are getting exposure for your book and proving a means through which the book can be quickly purchased from a trusted name with a good reputation. Make it easy for online shoppers to find you, find your book and be able to buy it without any hassle.
Word of fingers, though a strange saying; it is what I consider the online version of word of mouth. You want to create buzz about your book and about yourself. Without a doubt, word of mouth is by far the best marketing technique in existence. It’s free, it reaches a broad audience and it accomplishes its goal of advertising your product or service. Once the word is out, people will share what they know. Many will even share without reading your book. If they heard from a reliable source that your book is a good read, they will have no problem passing on that endorsement. To better harness this resource, you can join a forum or group that is focused on your book’s topic. The other members of the forum or group will discuss the book and even take their new knowledge and opinions offline to their homes and work.

The end of the 20th century saw the advancement of the internet, and with it came more opportunities for different people. A lot of things you can now be done through the “information superhighway”. You can research on subjects you used to go to the library for, you can connect to old and new friends alike through social networking sites like Facebook, and you can shop for anything under the sun. How convenient! What will be discussed in this article is how to buy books online.
In general, you can search for the book of your choice in two ways and through online shops that sell books. First, you can use the Search tool if you already have a particular title in mind. It’s just like going to Google or Yahoo. Just type the exact title, if you know it, or at least the significant keywords included therein. Advanced search options are usually available. You may search by author, ISBN or publisher. You may even narrow down the results by specifying the book’s type of binding, language, and edition.
If you want to buy books online but are not sure what title you’d like to purchase, you can use the Browse function. You can go through book lists per category. If you’re interested, for instance, in improving the appearance of your front lawn and don’t know how to start, you can check the Home and Garden books. If you’re a new mom and you need help with everything that relates to raising a child, browse the Parenting and Families section. Or if you simply would like to read sci-fi novels, check the Science Fiction and Fantasy section. Category names are not universal, so it may vary from store to store. Check the product details, see if you’re okay with the price, and inspect whatever else needs to be inspected to satisfy meticulous you.
Once you’ve decided and added all your desired titles to your “cart,” you can now “check out” when you’re done with your shopping. Provide all of your billing and shipping information, along with any special instructions if asked. Review all the details you’ve provided. You also need to make sure that you supply the right information. You don’t want that cheesy romance novel you’ve been hankering for delivered to your neighbor, now would you? Conclude the transaction and take note of the details, especially your order or transaction number. You can use these for reference purposes should you have any concerns in the future.
