Authors Working Together to Sell More Books

"Your life changes when you meet people." - Sterling Valentine

I want to encourage the authors and publishers on this Book Marketing Network to work together to help each other to sell more books. That's the main reason I created this network in the first place.

There are so many ways that you can help each other. For example, I wrote an article on 30 Ways to Help a Book Author You Love - http://www.bookmarket.com/loveawriter.htm. Most of those ways apply not only to your friends but also to authors helping each other.

In addition, you can do joint ventures, Amazon Bestseller Campaigns, blog tours, and more.

Please use this forum right here to list your requests for partners as well as your responses or offers to help other authors.

You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish if you work together rather than alone.

For example, I'd love to see a fiction writers co-op promotion where each novelist promotes the other members in the co-op on their blog or website or social network. Tweet about each other. Like each others' Facebook page. Do joint blog tours.

Poets can do the same thing. So can business book authors. Spiritual authors. Christian authors. Cookbook authors. Etc.

Thanks so much - I had fun putting the interview together :D I am posting it in my blog here so anyone who wants to read it can check out my profile or on my author blog - http://joleenenaylor.wordpress.com/2014/04/06/interview-with-pio/ :)

I've been doing the character interviews for awhile, and Janis is absolutely right, it helps us introduce our books to one another's readers - I have even made some great friends this way!

I have an excerpt from Dormaine coming up next week too :)

I am running my first free ebook promo for my ebook "Your Work at Home Journey: Three Paths You Can Take and What You Need to Know Before You Go." It's going great so far, got 133 free downloads yesterday and about 32 so far today. If you're interested in checking out my book, you can do so here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JTHV0MC
