BestSellerAuthors Book Marketing Blog

Roger Parker asked me to speak to his private group of guerrilla marketers about book marketing and self promotion using social media.

I’ve been a fan of Jay Conrad Levinson and member of the Guerrilla Marketing Association, but I wondered about doing this as publicity. After all, there wasn’t a link I could share and promote the call to my mailing list or social media friends.

Roger is a friend, so of course I said yes and thought of it as a favor for someone that may connect me with resources later. Following the Law or Reciprocity I knew that I did not need to track this to immediate sales, I give where I can and know it wilil pay of in the long run.

I got more than I bargained for.

Roger did an excellent job on the interview and helped bring out some vital information for his group. Then he blogged about one tip I gave him about using Amazon in a new way. I linked back to that and tagged Roger’s site on social media.

I have been doing several interviews a day for my new book Twitter Revolution, so I’ve not been working the online promotion for book marketing as much. But today, I had a moment to search on my name (I recommend this for all authors in my free course at http://BookMarketingStrategy.com).

#1 is still my named site. #2 out of 30,000+ links was Roger Parker’s Blog

I’m getting many interview requests as author of Twitter Revolution, but still find time to help authors market their books.

Jim Kukral has become a good friend over the past few months. He’s a blogging and social media genius and wanted to know more about my Book Marketing Strategy course

So I gave him carte blanch to ask any question he wanted, provided he post it for you to see.

BestSellerAuthors.com is just one of the many web sites featured in the training where we used social media like Twitter.com and out Twitter radio show to talk to the experts.

Here’s Warren Whitlock’s goodbye from Atlanta.
