172 and Counting ... Invite More Friends!

I'm back from the CIPA Conference. A great weekend. Lots of good people. I've invited them to join the network. We'll see who joins in the next week.



I am enjoying this network and adding lots of new friends. Please take time to add a blog post at some point and add some content to your personal page so we can get to know each other. I've been going around to different people's pages and seeing what they are doing. It's really nice to see all the pictures and finally put…

Adding Friends in the Book Marketing Network

If you ad friends in this network -- and they accept your invitation -- their Ning contact info will be included in your Address Book (which you can access by clicking on the small envelope in the upper left corner of any page.



Then it is easier for you to send a direct message to any of your friends via the network (again accessible to them via their little envelope in the upper left corner of any page). Via that envelope icon, you can click on it and access any messages others in the… Continue

Ning and Amazon.com

Ryan Richardson just sent me a chatter message on my page here. I thought his suggestion was good so I'm adding it here as a blog post.

"You guys should read and recommend each other's books on Amazon. Refer to this Ning site and then other authors will want to join this site.
Within time, all your books will be flying off the shelves if you work
together on Ning AND Amazon."

BMN Rearrangements

Regular visitors to this network will note that I rearranged the layout so the blog entries and forums are at the tip since that's what most people are using. I also put the photos higher to encourage more people to submit their photos. The videos are still here, but more down the page in the center. Also the popular members are still here, but lower on the left.

Using Book Marketing Network

It seems like most network members are using the blog posts rather than the forums to communicate. And I can see why. The blog posts are much more visible.

The home pages on BMN feature all a users blog posts, comments, forum posts, photos, videos posted, etc.



Also check out the forums. While they are less visible, they are…

75 and Counting

Well, we're up to 75 people in this network. And some nice activity. Check out Steve Weber's Plug Your Book post. His book looks great. It seems to have some action points I did not cover in the new edition of 1001 Ways to Market Your Books. You can sample his book free. You can sample his book here:

Do any of you Twitter?

I just discovered an interesting website with lots of activity. It's called Twitter.com, and it is designed to keep friends and other interested parties informed about what you are doing -- especially via cell phone text messages (which you can access either via the website, IM, or your cell phone.



I'm going to use it to let people who become my followers or friends (two categories in Twitter) -- to let them know whenever I update a page on my website. As I Twitter, the…
