The Top 10 Things You Can Do in 2012 to Sell More Books
John Kremer, JohnKremer@BookMarket.com

Here are 3 tips ? To read the rest of this article, go to my Book Marketing Bestsellers blog:?http://blog.bookmarket.com/2012/05/top-10-things-you-can-do-in-2012-to_22.html

2. Create a Viral Video.

I?m not talking about the bland book trailers many authors are creating and posting. I am not talking about videos that are actually watched and shared with others.

There are three ways to create viral videos ? or, at least, to get more views for your videos: Piggyback off videos that have already gone viral (or are in the? process of going viral).

Create videos like the one showcased at blueribbonmovie.com ? a combination of great words, images, and music or spoken words. Create a YouTube channel and post new videos two to three times a week. The goal is to build an audience for your videos over time by consistently producing new videos two to three times a week.
Study the videos you like, especially the ones that get tons of views. Model those when creating your own videos.

Be sure to include your website URL (for example, http://www.bookmarket.com) at the beginning of your video? description on YouTube. For the URL to be clickable within the? description, you must include the beginning http://www.

4. Offer Free Ebooks

If you want to build up an audience for all your work and jumpstart word of mouth, give away your book as an ebook (or sell it for 99 cents) as a Kindle ebook.

Give away the ebook as a PDF or Word document on your website? (but capture the requesters email to build your email list).

More important, though, is to give away your ebook on high-traffic, highly targeted websites (targeted to your topic or audience).

You might be seeing a pattern in my advice so far

.6. Speak

Speaking builds a word-of-mouth army better than anything else. Speak locally ? at garden clubs, libraries, bookstores, Rotary clubs, poetry nights, schools, hospitals, story swaps, book club meetings, etc. Then expand out to a wider area, to nearby cities, to nearby states. Eventually, expand out to an even wider audience.

When someone hears you speak, they become a bigger fan than if they had just read your book. If they like you when they hear you speak, they will tell ten times more people than by just reading your book.

Speaking is especially effective for spirituality, mind/body/health, self-help, romance and relationships, business, how-to, and religious titles (as well as memoirs and children?s books). 95% of the New York Times bestsellers in these categories gained a lot of their sales momentum from the authors speaking over and over again.
