How to Get More Readers For Your Book
Marketing your own book can seem like a scary task. You poured your heart and soul into the writing of it, and now when you think about marketing your masterpiece, you think, "I'm a writer, not a salesperson!"But there is a simple way you can get the word out about your book. It takes a little time, but the effort pays huge dividends.More people will be interested in your book when they are interested in you. Readers become interested in you when they can read some of your writing...for free. You can build your credibility, find readers, and establish yourself as an expert in your field by writing and distributing articles.(This method works even for fiction writers.)You accomplish this by these means:- by publishing articles on your website- by creating an ecourse or ebook- by publishing your own ezine or newsletter- by publishing your articles in someone else's ezineThink about that last idea for a minute. Publishing articles in other people's ezines (or on their websites) is the key, the secret, to creating a viral lead-generating machine.The popularity of your book website is actually improved when other sites link you to. But Google only likes high-content links. Your articles provide this.Not to mention that when you have your articles on more and more websites there is a greater possibility that someone will read your articles and do business with you.The simple system that will market your book for you contains only three steps:Step 1: Write and Publish ArticlesThis really is the best way for you to promote your book.The key is to write a useful, high-content article, and send it to your newsletter and publish it on your website. If you write fiction, write simple short stories or poems, or provide excerpts from your novel.(For a more information on marketing this way, please read another of my articles, "Online Book Marketing," at http://ezinearticles.com/?id=45696.)Step 2: Distribute Your ArticlesSend your articles or stories to article distribution lists and ezine directories. These directories exist for ezine owners and website owners to pick up free reprintable content to use in their ezine or on their website. You can find a list of these sites by searching for "articles sites."This helps you, because if your article is picked up and distributed by 10 ezine owners who each have 1000 people in their list, your article will be sent to 10 000 people!Step 3: Your Articles Continue to be Distributed Virally!When you submit to an articles directory, your article is there to be reprinted. You can submit an article next week, and ten years later it will still be there. Your article can have a shelf life as long as you want, and every time someone reprints your article, you get free exposure!Bonus tip: If you include at the end of your article that your article can be reprinted anywhere by anyone, anyone who reads your article can reprint in on their website or in their ezine.To use the above example, if another 1000 people reprint your article in some form, your business will be marketed to 11 000 people-in a very short period of time!Imagine this process occurring time and time again, with more than one article! How many interested readers will end up at your site?This is how you successfully market your book online.Jeremy M. Hoover helps you market your book.

Ole Bulky Jeeps & Paper, Ink and Rain [two Peoms]
Ole Bulky JeepsThrough late summer's heat
These bulky shaped jeeps
Ride by house and farm
City and barn-Hungry for
Spring-again, hoping to avoid
The Slipping and sliding
Of winter's ice and wind?[s]Their weighty legs are dirty
From moving dust and rain
(Here and there, everywhere)
Through all kinds of terrain
Like moving clouds caught
In the foliage of the woods?
They never slow down a ting
They have a duty, and give.It's part of how they live-
In military-, bulky ole jeeps!...#814 8/24/05Paper, Ink and RainThis year they are half the size
of a pen top I keep at home
to mark off the place I stopped,and precisely, the color of red,
of the ink leading back across
the dry paper, underlining?past the next word, I've yet to read
you hear the rolling of the pen
slipping out ink drops like rain.#813 8/23/05Note by Rosa: here are two more poems by Dennis Siluk, I hope you enjoy them. I often don't know where he is going with his poetry, but it is not hard to make it out once he puts it done on paper; instead of those napkins at the Barns and Noble, Caf
Article Marketing & Copywriting Secret: How To Make Your Article TITLE Sell – Writing-Articles
Article Marketing & Copywriting Secret: How To Make Your Article TITLE Sell
Most authors are wasting their time producing dozens to hundreds of high quality articles that never reach a fraction of their traffic potential. It's a darn shame.When I review the behind-the-scenes traffic statistics on over 20,000 articles that have produced over 1 million monthly page views in my article marketing lab...ONE thing is clear: All articles are not created equal even when everything about them is identical except for the TITLE.The reason is probably not what you think.If you've been schooled on traditional copywriting, you know that in the offline world, the headline determines as much as 95% of the success of the book or article. This statistic takes into consideration what makes the book title successful: Whether a human buys it or not.Article Marketing on the Internet is a whole different story because of the way your articles reach humans who have an interest in them.MYTH: Most people will read your articles because they came to a website and started browsing just like they do if they were to have gone to a local book store to find a book of personal interest.FACT: Wrong! Most people will search the Internet using one of the major search engines and they will be putting in between 1 to 5 keywords that are related to the topic of the article or information they are looking to locate. The search engines will then deliver results that best match the human's interest.YOUR GOAL: To have your articles show up in the search engine results for the keywords and topics that are most related to the content of your article.HOW?You must embrace this TITLE creation & traffic-building truth:The first 3-5 words of your TITLE determine the success of your article in terms of how much traffic your article will generate back to your website. Success can only be had when you create keyword rich titles for your articles that match the most commonly searched keywords for your topic.How to determine which keywords are rich and the right ones to use for your article?You'll need a keyword research tool. Some are free and some are fee-based. Overture.com has a popular keyword research tool that shows you the most common search results from the Yahoo search engines directory. If you want to see what's on "Google's Mind" you can try one of their current beta tools called "Google Suggest":
http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&complete=1Whether you use a web-based keyword research tool or invest in one of the more advanced application level software keyword research tools, it's critical that you learn know how to do keyword research.A "Good" vs. "Bad" TITLE Example:Here is an example of the difference between a non-keyword rich TITLE vs. a very keyword rich TITLE that is proven to perform better in terms of traffic creation:Bad TITLE Example:"Top 9 Ways You Can Acquire Fractional Jet Ownership"Excellent Keyword Rich Title Example:Fractional Jet Ownership - 9 Strategies to Help You Acquire Your Private Jet Why is it more effective?Because it does not waste the first 3 words of the title with meaningless garbage words like "top" or the number "9" or "ways"...and gets right to the important words that might be found when someone is using a search engine to research a topic related to your article.You'll also notice in my example that I included the word "Private" Jet. Why? Because my keyword research said that people who search for fractional jet also search for the word "private jet" and therefore I wanted to boost the chances that my title would be found by a larger number of potential visitors to the article.Two recommendations on what NOT to do:1) Don't include garbage characters in your TITLE such as quotes, tildes, asterisks or anything else that a search engines has to work hard to discard in order to understand the TITLE of your article.2) Do not engage in any search engine spam technique by having keyword rich TITLES that have nothing to do with the topic of your article. You'll only be hurting yourself as the search engines already aggressively filter out bad behavior like this.YOUR INTELLIGENT KEYWORD RICH TITLE COPYWRITING CONCLUSION:If you want to maximize your results from any article marketing strategy, you must master keyword research so that you can create keyword rich and intelligent article TITLES.
