Day 1 Show Notes: Using Your Book’s Content to Sell Your Book

The concept is to use your book’s content, text and images to bring awareness of your book to the world

• Use your book’s content, text, images to bring awareness of your book to the word

• Post it on your Blog, website, social media, video, podcast, etc

• Spread it around the web

• In your content, add links for buying the book

• Sharing Your Book's Content Across the Web

- Share your book’s content and images across the web

- Good descriptive titles, Look at Google search for titles and questions in your area

- Create blog posts or webpages that answer very specific questions

- Images in each post, correctly titled

- Author bio/sell lines with book links at the bottom of each

- Share your book's images or create some, titles, Google image search.

• Why do this

• Why, Google will index the content and bring readers to your site and book

• Error: Bestseller campaign, focus on long term selling
