BookBuzzr - Online Book-Marketing Technologies for Authors





The BookBuzzr Newsletter

Dear BookBuzzr,


Hope you're getting ready for the arrival of summer!



The past month saw a whirlwind of activity at the BookBuzzr offices. We conducted a highly successful  Hunger Games Fan Festival  on Freado, interviewed two best selling BookBuzzr authors and released a new summer landing page widget theme.  Along the way, we had plenty of reason to rejoice with over 8,000 authors now becoming part of the BookBuzzr community. Special thanks to Stephanie Norris, author of Trouble in Paradise who kept our spirits soaring by breaking into the top 10 on Amazon (#9 in contemporary fiction) and by commenting:
I love the Bookbuzzr tools available with the pro subscription. The landing page widget, the tweeter, the book sample page widget, and the option to enter your book on freado.com for a chance to win by simply playing games is a great idea that gives authors a unique and fun way to have your book exposed.  I would recommend Bookbuzzr to anyone who is taking their craft seriously and can use effective and inexpensive ways to get it done!
Interview with Best Selling Author Judy Powell
BookBuzzr Author Pro Plus subscriber Judy Powell is another author who has had reason to celebrate in the recent past. Her book Hot Summer has been ranked #1 in Multicultural, #4 in Contemporary Romance and  #47 in the entire Kindle store. In a recent interview with BookBuzzr staff, Judy was extremely candid and generous in giving advice on her book marketing secrets and even sharing her sales figures in dollar terms! Do spend a few minutes going through this interview. It can make a huge difference to your book. 

Interview with Book Marketing Expert and Best Selling Author Aggie Villanueva
Another long time BookBuzzr subscriber is book marketing expert Aggie Villanueva. Aggie has recently released a book - Amazon Categories Create Best Sellers (which also broke into a Kindle top 10 list.) Aggie tells you the single biggest mistake that authors make when it comes to promoting their books on Amazon, what authors can do to avoid getting banned or blacklisted by Amazon and the simple steps that they can take to improve their book's rank on Amazon. Check out the interview. It will give you a completely different insight into the workings of this mysterious, giant marketing machine.

Announcing the Launch of a New Summer Landing Page Widget Theme
Aah summer! Rolling waves. Warm sands. Tall cool drinks. And a great book to read!

Inspired by such a vision, we've created a new landing page widget theme which you can use for your book this summer. And judging by the fact, that several authors have installed this theme on their blogs and websites even before we made this announcement it seems that this theme will be liked by many authors. Click here to see the widget theme and to get it for your book. We hope you like it as much as we do!

Hunger Games Fan Festival on Freado
As you probably know, we conducted the Hunger Games fan festival on Freado between April 10th and 30th. The idea was to draw the fans of the Hunger Games to Freado and expose the books of our participating authors to this fan base. The festival had thousands of participants visiting the Freado site and playing Hunger Games related quizzes and hangman games and winning Hunger Games merchandize. A number of BookBuzzr authors (such as Sage Kalmus) participated enthusiastically and created a number of games to win prizes while also gaining readers for their books.

Kindle Winner and Next Kindle Drawing on Freado
Lynne Ellison was the proud winner of a Kindle this April and commented, I found the Covermatcher very compelling and even addctive. Until the recent changes I found it very hard to load onto my computer, but this problem has been solved. It is a great way to stretch your memory!

If you have not yet tried the new CoverMatcher game take a look. But be warned. It can be addictive! As a bonus you can win another Kindle which we are giving away on September 3rd!

Make a Suggestion to Win $50

BookBuzzr - Online Book-Marketing Technologies for Authors





The BookBuzzr Newsletter

Hello BookBuzzrs,


At BookBuzzr, we've been working for over 2 years with thousands of authors with just one goal in mind - get them to find more readers and sell more books through the use of innovative technologies. Our research showed that one of the major challenges an author faces is in grabbing the attention of their blog and website visitors and getting them to take a desired action.



So we've come up with a nifty little new technology called the Landing Page Widget.
What is a Landing Page Widget?
A Landing Page Widget is an overlay or a splash screen that shows an animated image along with a call to action (such as Buy My Book, or Pre-Order or Participate in the Giveaway.) The widget shows up over your content (whether it is your blog content or website content) and the user can close the widget to access the underlying content.



No coding is necessary and the entire process of installing the widget is really simple.

All widget themes are available at no extra charge to BookBuzzr subscribers. To access them, simply log in to your BookBuzzr Book Marketing Home page, choose your book and click on the Landing Page Widget link on the left.



To see the widget in action and learn more, visit the BookBuzzr blog.

BookBuzzr - Online Book-Marketing Technologies for Authors





The BookBuzzr Newsletter

Hello BookBuzzrs,


This month author Sarah Ako Myers delighted us when she wrote in with the message, As an author, Freado.com provides me with a unique and innovative marketing platform to reach my target audience. As a booklover, playing to win free books totally rocks! You can download Sarah's Kindle book at no cost.



And the BookBuzzr team was practically doing somersaults when we saw author Emily Hill's tweet EmilyHill_Indie @BookBuzzr Freya! Love how#Bookbuzzr quizzes make my books interesting and fun! I made $900 on eBook sales last month! THREE Best Sellers! Congrats Emily!



Moving on to our feature article ...
Why the Amazon KDP Select DOES NOT Affect BookBuzzr Authors
You probably know that the KDP Select program from Amazon has taken the publishing world by storm. A few BookBuzzr authors have written to ask whether it is ok to use BookBuzzr technologies (particularly excerpts) to market their books enrolled in the KDP Select program. We spent considerable time researching the issue and have arrived at the conclusion that it is perfectly fine to use BookBuzzr technologies. Further, an author has been advised by Amazon support that offering excerpts is allowed. This blog post provides a detailed analysis of the issue.

Innovative Use of QuickQuiz Widgets on a Blog Tour
Author C Kay Brooks is using BookBuzzr's QuickQuiz widget on her blog tour starting Feb 17th. Follow the blog tour to possibly win a free iPad. And do play her QuickQuiz on Mono County to understand how she is using the QuickQuiz technology to promote her book. 

Brainstorming Help for QuickQuiz
We're also pleased to introduce a new BookBuzzr team member - Teena who is our designated QuickQuiz manager is available to help you with your QuickQuiz questions. She is also available to help brainstorm with you on the quizzes that you can create to market your book more effectively. To interact with Teena, simply log in to the BookBuzzr Author forum and ask your questions on the QuickQuiz Ideas board. 

Win $5 Amazon gift certificate in 30 Seconds or Less
Based on popular demand on Freado's facebook page, we've reintroduced the daily $5 Amazon gift certificates. All you need to do to win the certificate is to go to Freado.com and score the highest score of the day in the highly addictive CoverMatcher game. Try it now. You could land up winning in less than 30 seconds. As an added bonus, you get an excellent workout for your memory while discovering new books from your fellow authors :)

Now BookBuzzr Subscriptions Have Been Made More Affordable!
You asked and we listened. Based on feedback from authors, we've introduced a new, affordable pricing plan for a BookBuzzr DIY Pro account. If you've not yet signed up, do give it a whirl. The first month is free and you can cancel at any time. Please note that these new plans do not offer advertising inside the CoverMatcher games, on Freado.com and on the BookBuzzr blog. If you are looking for advertising on these platforms, contact us by sending a reply email.

BookBuzzr - Online Book-Marketing Technologies for Authors





The BookBuzzr Newsletter

Dear Author,


Hope you're back at work and ready to take your book to new heights this year. The BookBuzzr team wants to help you achieve your book promotion goals through the power of technology. Keeping this mission in mind, we have, over the last 2 years developed several book marketing technologies which many of you are aware of. Our latest book promotion technology is QuickQuiz which allows you to rapidly create fun quizzes to promote your book on Facebook, your blog and your website. Stay tuned for another exciting book promotion technology which we will release in the next few weeks.

Kindle Direct Publishing: The KDP Select Program from Amazon
KDP Select is a new option that features a $6 million annual fund dedicated to independent authors and publishers. If you choose to make a book exclusive to the Kindle Store for at least 90 days, the book is eligible to be included in the Kindle Owners' Lending Library and you can earn a share of the fund based on how frequently the book is borrowed. In addition, by choosing KDP Select, you will have access to a new set of promotional tools, starting with the option to offer enrolled books free to readers for up to 5 days every 90 days.

BookBuzzr - Online Book-Marketing Technologies for Authors





The BookBuzzr Newsletter

Dear BookBuzzr,

A Quick Note on Viral Marketing

You've probably heard of viral marketing. The idea is to spread your message from person to person similar to the spread of a viral infection. Each person who comes into contact with your idea gets infected and then passes it onto his friends who in turn pass on the messages to others. 



While the virus analogy may have negative connotations, understanding viral marketing will help you to get the word about your book out to a larger audience with less time and negligible amounts of money. When it works, a viral marketing effort is the equivalent of striking a gold mine or an oil well.

Introducing BookBuzzr's QuickQuiz for Facebook
At BookBuzzr, we've been hard at work creating a brand new technology that will allow you to market your book in a viral manner on Facebook through quick quizzes. We've spoken about this technology in earlier newsletters. We used to refer to it as QuizBuzzr then. We've now renamed the technology as QuickQuiz based on user feedback after extensive testing.



We've shown the technology - a form of an online gameshow - to a selected group of authors, and they've been very excited. For example, author Michele Hughes wrote in to say, I sincerely believe this is going to be an excellent tool for promotion. What this program allows is the ability to engage the reader with familiar topics while helping them associate with the author's book. I'm ready to utilize this technology immediately. I will be recommending this program to all my author friends as a top ten list for promoting new titles.


Here's what book marketing expert Shelley Hitz had to say about QuickQuiz:I like the idea of creating a quiz about a popular book in the same genre and then recommending your book. And yes. Facebook provides a great viral effect.



QuickQuiz in now available on Freado.com. For more details on how to use QuickQuiz, please visit the blog post at Announcing QuickQuiz the World's First Viral Marketing Technology for Books. We didn't want to include a lot of explanatory screenshots in this newsletter as it could increase loading time. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.

Good luck and happy viral book marketing!

Upcoming Webinars from BookBuzzr Book Marketing Technologies Center
In the old days, when you released a paperback or a hardcover, you'd have a launch party with a local celebrity releasing your book. Then you'd travel around the country with a book tour. You'd speak on radio shows and get interviewed by local newspapers. That era is fast ending. Ebooks are the new medium for authors like you. 

In the first week of December we're featuring webinars on the topic of 'How to Launch Your eBook'. These webinars explore the secrets of getting attention for your eBook when you release it. If you are a BookBuzzr Author Pro author you will be able to access the recordings of this webinar through your BookBuzzr Book Marketing Home page.

BookBuzzr - Online Book-Marketing Technologies for Authors





The BookBuzzr Newsletter

Dear BookBuzzr,

The problem with today's Facebook fan pages

So you're an author with a Facebook fan page. You've got book trailers, polls, quizzes, photo and writing contests running on your page. You've even got a few hundred Facebook Likes for your page. And yet your book sales are not going up. You then compare yourself to popular authors with tens of thousands of Fans on their Facebook fan pages. And you wonder what they are doing that you're not doing.

Here's what's happening.

If you are a popular mainstream author, the people becoming fans of your page are people who already read your books or have heard enough about you that they are likely to soon become readers.

If you are not yet a literary superstar, then the people who are Liking your page are doing so because of some other inducement that you may be providing (get entered into a prize drawing if you Like my page). They are unlikely to think about you or notice your book even if they Like your Facebook fan page. And they are unlikely to return to your Facebook page or tell their friends about it.

Thus, while a Facebook fan page (and associated bells and whistles such as the BookBuzzr Facebook Fan Page Widget) is a necessary condition for entry into the book marketing game, it is not sufficient.

So how do you actually find some readers for your book?

John Locke's Principle of Transfer of Loyalty
A few months ago, best-selling author - John Locke - wrote a book - How I Sold a Million Books. In this book John comes up with the concept of Transfer of Loyalty. The idea is simple and fairly well-known. It is best illustrated by an example.

Let us say that you've written a vampire romance book and your target audience is the set of people who liked the Twilight movie series. You write a blog post on the Twilight movie series and promote the blog post on Twitter to Twilight movie fans. Some of these folks will read your blog post and get exposed to your book. Some of your blog post readers may now "transfer their loyalty" to give your book a try.

While this is a fantastic, proven concept, we at BookBuzzr, believe that the principle can be extended to find readers on Facebook. 

Characteristics of Facebook users
Some of the characteristics of Facebook users are:

They don't like reading lengthy blog posts while on Facebook.
They like playing trivia games
They like sharing fun stuff with their friends
They are usually thinking WIIFM (What's in it for me?)

Announcing QuizBuzzr - a revolution in book marketing on Facebook




Melding John Locke's loyalty transfer principle with our insight about Facebook users, we've come up with QuizBuzzr.

QuizBuzzr is a quiz that you, the author, create. There are ten questions in each quiz. The quiz would ideally appeal to your target audience. For example, if you think that fans of the Oprah Winfrey show would enjoy your book, you would create a quiz featuring 10 questions about Oprah Winfrey.

QuizBuzzr also features "Lifelines". Clicking on these will offer you clues to the correct answer with one twist - some of them require you to share the game with your Facebook friends.

QuizBuzzr is also made interesting by the fact that at each point during the game, you can "Walk Away" from the game thereby saving the points earned till that point or risk it all by trying to answer the next question.

And we've built in several 'viral hooks' which cause users to share information about the specific quiz and about your book with their Facebook friends.

And winning points in the game allows users to use those points on Freado.com where they can win real prizes including Kindles and best-selling books.

Why is this useful for you?
To summarize, this technology is particularly useful because:

You can create several quizzes that are likely to appeal to your readers.
It shows up your book at strategic points in the game alongside the questions.
As described earlier, it appeals to the average Facebook user.
Because of the in-built viral hooks at various points in the game, your book will be surely be marketed.

How can you use QuizBuzzr to market your book on Facebook?
QuizBuzzr will soon be released as a test beta product. It comes bundled with a BookBuzzr Author Pro subscription. To use it to market your book, simply sign-up for a BookBuzzr Author Pro account.
