More on Social Media…
Developing a social media network is critical to establishing an ongoing method for communicating with your target audience. The AuthorHouse marketing team takes a “Do, Coach, Guide” approach: we establish your social media platform across the top social media sites, then we help you develop and hone your social media presence over time.
Additionally, we reach out to the existing online community of your target audience by identifying and actively engaging in industry-specific forums related to your book subject matter. We introduce your message in a consistent, format-appropriate manner with an ultimate goal of leading this audience back to your website and social media platforms.
Benefits of establishing an online presence:
- People will be able to easily find your sites when they search for you, your book or your book’s topic, since content on most of your sites can be indexed by search engines like Google and Yahoo!.
- Increases your chances for “viral” impact by establishing your brand online, meaning readers can easily find and share information about your book.
- Expands your reach through the integration of multiple sites to a new group of potential customers which could translate into more book sales.
