Adding  LinkedIn to your Marketing Arsenal!

LinkedIn is not just a directory site. I was amazed to find that the place I signed up with a couple of years ago was, in reality, a great networking site. There are some amazing groups you can join and many ways you can expose yourself (In a good way) to new readers and new marketing allies.

Flash Mob for Book Promotion...Interesting Marketing Concept

Hi everyone. I wanted to share a really neat idea with all of you. If you're published it could be a great way to help get the word out about your book in an interesting way.

Check out https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Amrita-Publishing/184725818262525?sk=app_129982580378550  Amrita Publishing... They describe their concept as a FLASH MOB for book promotion where other authors swoop in and help promote a featured author, then in return eventually, everyone gets a turn.  Neat concept! Their first Featured Artist is today and this all happens at 3 pm est.

Please Visit the Amrita Publishing FB page, and their Featured Artist page today around that time and help spread the love for Daniel L Carter. Coincidentally, Daniel was one of the first Authors who featured an interview with me on his blog when my book ISLAND OF SECRETS came out last November.  He definitely helps other authors and he deserves some extra attention.
