Rr>h8Ni < So many authors spend a lot of time and money on promotion that doesn't work. It's time to do what authors do best--write a short article. This works for fiction as well as non-fiction. Follow these ten steps to write an article top web sites will clamor for with a link back to where your book is sold.
N$SJK 1. Choose a topic that relates to your book. Make sure this how-to article has useful, needed information. One site who markets to professional speakers just published your coach's article "What Makes One Book Out Sell Another?"
Z w&_Wt 2. Know your article's thesis or theme. The thesis is the number one solution your article offers to its reader. The theme is the general truth about life revealed by a character sketch, a conflict in a fiction incident, or dialogue--all relating to your book. In the introduction above, the thesis is stated in the last line, "Use these 10 ways to write an article that top web sites will clamor for with a link back to where your book is sold."
`Gp!Y 3. Know your preferred audience. Just as your book has a target audience, so should your article. One book, "How to Write Your E-Book or Other Book?Fast!" is a short, easy-to-read, step-by-step guide to assist professionals with shortcuts to writing, publishing and selling their book. A few article titles related to that book are "The Top Ten Ways to Get Started Writing your Book" and "10 EBook Mistakes and How to Solve them."
d~b#dcv$" 4. Write a sparkling opening. Like a headline in a press release or on your book's back cover corset tops, your first sentence should grab your readers by the collar so they will keep reading. The opening could use a shocking fact, a question or two about where your audience is now, a benefit, or a compelling story right out of your book. Make the opening a short paragraph, even a single line. Readers want short, concise, digestible information, especially on the Internet.
K'zG[[P 5. Illustrate a need. Whatever your topic, show your readers why they need your information. If you have written a book on listening, in your short article discuss how much is at stake for not listening such as divorce or lost business. You may also share the benefits.
\v}3j^Yu 6. Give a brief background of the problem or situation you will solve. One client wrote a book, "The Cure for Multiple Sclerosis." She shares that over 2 million people worldwide with Multiple Sclerosis are diagnosed incurable, that doctors are pressured to use pharmaceuticals, and that the health industry is not about getting people well, but about making money.
fCxF3m(O 7. Share the problems that result. In "The Cure for Multiple Sclerosis," the problem is that most people rely on western medicine, which does not have the answers. Big money is not spent on alternative or complementary ways to prevent and cure chronic diseases, so people with problems get drugs that deplete the immune system.
Y2,\WKa 8. Give the solution. Your book offers solutions to your reader's challenges or problems. So must your article. Show your readers how to get excellent health, how they can write a book, make more money, or have better relationships.
Z'I0e9Jw 9. Show your online readers where to get the solution and how. The article, "How to Listen at Work," needs to suggest where to go or what to do next. You may name a quality book to read (maybe your book!). Mention a seminar or training, or recommend a coach. You may even mention a web site address or 800 number.
ep3iI77/ 10. Place your article on as many high traffic Internet sites and Opt-in (no-spam) Ezines as you can. Just as feature articles in newspapers are seven times as powerful as advertising, so is your article seven times as powerful as other promotion. People are looking for free information Online. That's the major reason they surf! Your book coach offers this information on her Web site.
d(-$ {
c So, now that you know how to write a short article, put it to work for you and submit it to some of the 400,000 opt-in ezines and top web sites in your field to promote your book.
