Tip

Many authors are using movie-like trailers for their books. Some are using videos. If you are considering either, you may find a video will serve your purposes better if you write nonfiction, a trailer better if you write genre fiction.

Tip

Everyone is doing it. Podcasts. Radio hosts are making podcasts of their segments to attract listeners after the broadcast. Authors are recording little pitches to post on their blogs and their websites. It requires about a $40 investment in a microphone and you're pretty much up and running with what is already on your computer. Have fun!

Car Magnet Exchanges:

Driving around town with full color magnets on the doors of your car is a great way to bring attention to your book. Car Magnets are reasonably inexpensive and there are tax advantages to advertising. However, those of you in smaller towns might want to expand your reach after driving around your town. Wouldn't it be nice if someone was driving across country and they agreed to put your magnet on their car? Wouldn't it be nice to let folks in other towns see your signs? Wouldn't it be nice to expose your message to markets like Los Angeles and New York? The idea is to trade signs for short periods of time. Perhaps 500 miles in each other's markets. You'd have to buy your own car magnets and the partners would have to cover the costs of shipping the magnets to and from each other. However, as part of an experiment on this idea, Authors' Coalition will help match up authors willing to drive signs around their own town with other authors willing to do the same. The experiment will last through 2007. If you are interested in participating, contact Joyce at Katieseyes@aol.com.

A New Concept in Cross-Promotion

This journal features was designed to help the participants cross-promote and to help other authors increase their profits at events of all kinds.

Why sell one book when you can sell two?
Why not offer a journal at a discount when your prospective book buyers purchases your book (it's called a purchase with purchase in retailing)?
Or offer it as a give-away when your customer buys two or more books from your booth!
Or give this journal as a gift when an editor or reviewer deserves a special thank you.
Or simply tale advantage of the discount and help the participating authors by giving these as holiday gifts to all your author-friends.

This journal of funny and inspiring quotations retails for $15.95. Forty percent off for members of Authors' Coalition ($9.57), fifty percent off for participants ($7.98). Order from Pat at 417-230-5555 or contact patavery@gmail.com!
