Why is Amazon so important? Because people from your niche WILL find you there.

Authors of Strategic are taking over the world one blog at a time

 

Promoting your book on Amazon should be a no-brainer. This site is one of the largest, most well known online bookstores in the world. If you ignore your book's presence on this site you will lose sales. What most authors don't realize is that Amazon should be treated in the same manner as your would Facebook or Twitter. Amazon is a thriving social media community and it is not just readers who use this site. 

Amazon is a "go-to" hub of knowledge for representatives from all ranges of industries.  More often than not when publishing personnel look for a certain kind of book they use Amazon as a basis for that search. For instance one of our authors was featured in a Women's Health magazine detailing bra usage- how did they find her you may ask? Via Amazon!

Creating a well known author presence on Amazon is essential to your success. 

Author Sara Howard of "Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Moon" is experiencing tremendous success with this concept right now. Her continued participation and use of Amazon chat boards and Listmanias has made her one of the most influential users on Amazon for her niche- astronomy. 

 

Check out this email she sent us: 

An Astronomy Society found me on Amazon and sent me a beautiful wall chart of the skies of our Northern Hemisphere.

I reviewed it for them and helped with some marketing. I asked how did they find me and they said that I was the

MOST active person in Astronomy on Amazon.  It is my listmanias. J  Oh, my!

 

Have a nice Christmas!
