3 Facebook Changes Authors Need to Know About
The competition to be king of the social media hill is hotter than ever, and Facebook cannot coast just because it’s on top. Snapchat and Twitter are making changes regularly to try to woo users to their platforms. In order to stay on top, therefore, Facebook needs to constantly innovate.

Why free is still a smart marketing strategy @storyrally #repost
by Jason Kong, @storyrally
If you’re wondering whether not charging for selected stories is benefiting your promotional campaign, you’re not alone.
With all the free writing flooding the internet, it’s harder to stand out. Even if someone downloads your free eBook, your fiction is competing with all the other stories on that person’s digital reader.
Given the ubiquity of free, it’s reasonable to question whether the market is saturated, thus reducing the effectiveness. I, on the other hand, believe free still works.
Let’s take a closer look on why that is.

The power of your email list #repost
Imagine the feeling of sitting back and watching the sales flood in for a book you’ve only just launched – and all you did was send a quick email.
Sound too good to be true?
Not a bit of it. This is what thousands of best-selling authors do all the time. The secret is their author mailing list.

#BookPromotion on #Wattpad
Good reading 📚
Last November, I was finally convinced to try Wattpad. 
Then, later in the same month, I wrote about Wattpad being a special “social media” platform for writers.
That was early in the game…
I had a relatively small number of folks I followed and there were some following me…
I have four books there; and, will soon have a fifth—one of my books, my novel, was getting reads and comments and all was productive and fun…
Then, last month, my novel jumped from 1,ooo to 2,000 reads and my followers jumped from about 300 to over 1,200.
Today, I have 3,200 reads on the novel and nearly 2,000 followers…
What happened was Wattpad decided to Feature my book.
Suddenly, being on Wattpad is “work” yet very welcome and productive work.
Back in November, my novel was being read in…

[@IndiesUnlimited] Mailing Lists and Advanced Readers and Bookfunnel, Oh My! #repost

|
In my years as an Indie publisher, there have been a number of schools of thought as to what it took to be successful. In the salad days of 2012, the advice was, “Do a free run, then sit down and wait for the Brinks truck to back up with your money.” Those were good days, almost certainly too good to last. Since then, the advice has ranged from “write in a series and make the first book free” to “drive sales through Facebook ads,” to “use keywords and sharpened metadata to drive traffic.” Through it all, though, one thing has been constant: you need a mailing list.

Creating a Universal Amazon Book Link – A quick tip
This is an awesome marketing tool for the Superstar author!
I recently ran a free book promotion weekend for one of my books. I experimented with placing a Facebook ad that reached out to multiple countries, not just the U.S. My dilemma with doing this is that I didn’t have a way to post all of the links for the various Amazon sites in other countries on my ad without it looking clumsy.
I searched for a way to create a universal link for my book. A universal link, when clicked by a potential reader, is designed to take them to my book on the appropriate Amazon page for their country.
I couldn’t believe how easy it was to do this at absolutely no cost. The site I used is called Booklinker. You can find it HERE. It’s very easy to use. Just paste the URL for your book from any country’s Amazon site in the field as shown:
