• Promote your book by blogging about it
Perhaps one of the best ways to bring potential readers to your website is by blogging. With a blog, you’ll be providing a lot of fresh information on a variety of topics related to your book, increasing the chances that someone will stumble across your writing and then head to your website.
• What authors can write for blog entries
The biggest question facing any writer is what to blog about. You’ve got lots of options
• How often should you blog?
How frequently you’ll blog largely depends on your time constraints and your readers’ thirst for information from and about you. More than once a day is too much, but you probably want to have an entry every 2-3 days and certainly no less than once a week if you’re to maintain readership.
• Use Google’s Keyword tool to sell more books
When promoting our books, getting to the top of the first search engine page is important. Stats show that page 1 gets 95% of all search traffic, that 61% of all traffic go to the top three spots, and that 33-40% head right to the No. 1 listing. Attaining those coveted spots requires search engine optimization, or the placement of keywords on your website, blog and social media posts promoting the book. So just how do you figure out which keywords are best, then?
• Hosting guest bloggers
A great way to promote your book by reducing your workload is letting others guest blog on your site. Hosting a guest blogger offers a couple of benefits to your site.
• Promote your book by guest blogging
A great way to promote your book is by guest blogging, which is writing, for free, content that appears on another person’s blog. It’s sort of like being a guest host of a television program.
• Organize blog tour to promote your book
A blog tour involves you appearing on a different blog on several consecutive days. Each blog gets its own unique “presentation” from you – one might run a guest blog written by you, another might be a Q&A interview of you, another might be a news story focusing on some aspect of your book.
