The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships
One of the most important things for you to do after you have finished writing a book is for you to successfully market the book - after all, marketing the book will enable people to know that the book exists, and if people do not know a book exists, they will never be able to take the step of purchasing it! There are plenty of ways to go about getting the word out about your book, but considering that Amazon is one of the places where people visit most frequently, one of the best places for you to focus your attention is also on Amazon - using Amazon Author Central. People are likely to look at the "reader reviews" when they look at a book on Amazon, but they are also likely to look at the reviews posted in the "Editorial Reviews" section; this is the section where you can take great snippets from official reviews of your book, posting them on the Amazon page of your book in order to encourage readers to make that leap toward purchasing your work. You will also find that many Amazon pages have strange characters and formatting in the description of the book, due to the manner in which certain fonts translate onto the Amazon web page; in Amazon Author Central, you can change the description so that these odd characters do not show up. Also, people will be able to click on the author's name, and be taken to the author's "Home Page" on Amazon, if the author uses Amazon Author Central; on this page, you can link to your blog and your Twitter, and you can even write a letter to readers - which provides you with a great way to share your thoughts on the book with prospective readers. Amazon Author Central is just one of the things you can do in order to get the word out about your book, but it is a big thing, as Amazon is one of the most visited sites on the internet, and being in control of what readers see when they visit Amazon is certainly no bad thing!
