Online Book Marketing - Boost Your Book Sales With Twitter

Aug. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Twitter is a terrific online book marketing tool for building an author platform and enabling authors to sell more books, but many authors are unsure of how to get real results from the time invested on Twitter.

To help authors learn how to use this powerful networking tool to sell more books, Dana Lynn Smith, book marketing consultant and author of "Twitter Guide for Authors" is hosting the Boost Your Book Sales With Twitter teleseminar on August 12.  Joining her for the presentation is Tony Eldridge, book marketing expert and author of "Conducting Effective Twitter Contests."

"When I first ventured onto Twitter, I didn't quite get it," says Smith. "I wondered how to get followers, what to say in my updates, and how Twitter could help me sell more books. The more I used Twitter, the more convinced I was of its power in online book marketing. Today, Twitter is by far the single largest referring site to my website, and it's had a big impact on my business," she adds.

Teleseminar registrants will learn how to choose the best user name and build an effective profile, methods for attracting the right followers, how to avoid common mistakes, techniques for writing tweets that get results, how to conduct an effective Twitter contest, and much more.

"The amazing thing about Twitter contests is that you can persuade other authors and online leaders to passionately promote your Twitter contest to their own followers, which exposes you and your book to brand new audiences," says Eldridge. During the teleseminar, he will share his proven methods for choosing the right prizes and partners, and conducting a Twitter contest that attracts the right kind of followers.

In addition to the live teleseminar, registrants will receive a recording of the call to listen to later at their convenience, along with three bonus reports: 10 Steps to Online Networking Success, Twitter Learning Guide, and 10-Step Lesson for Conducting Effective Twitter Contests.
