I know a lot of you use Facebook groups to drive traffic to your books. I wanted to show you a different strategy that will be way more effective than just sending your amazon links in the Facebook groups.
Get some hosting and buy a domain. Honestly I would just buy your pen name as a domain. Lets say your pen name is, John Smith. buy www.johnsmith,com. if that's not available buy something like www.johnsmithbooks,com or johnsmith,info. Now you are going to make a blog post on each book you come out with. make sure you have a good pic as well as a really detailed post.
now you are going to go on to Facebook and post your new blog post from your own website to the Facebook groups. You also aren't just going to post a link. You have to use a whats called "link bait" and draw in peoples attention. In the files tab of this group is a "swipe" file that will help you get really good ideas on what to post to social media.
make sure you use a different "swipe" for each group you post in. I have never had problems posting to many, many Facebook groups because I don't cut and paste the same thing over and over. come up with 20 to 30 original swipes that you can cut and paste into the groups. start out at the top of your swipe list and work your way down. that way if you have 100 groups, you aren't posting the same thing to 100 groups. at most, you would post the same post 4 times.
This method helps you to stand out beyond the regular people who just spam their amazon links. If you want to take it a step further, you can have a pop up that has the visitor to your site sign up to your email list. make sure you give them something very nice for signing up to your list. Now you are list building in tandem with promoting your books.
you also have a web property now. Now you can put up links to some affiliate products. You could promote other authors works as well for a price. You can run adsense on your site to gain a bit of change on it as well.
Once your books get stale and you want to move on from that pen name, you can sell all your books as well as the site for a huge profit. If you have a single pen name that has say 10 books on it that do 100$ a month and a website that nets $1,000 dollars, you have 2k a month in sales. If you have 6 months months of proof of sales on the site making 2k, you could get 10x the monthly sales value easily. it wouldn't be unheard of to get 25k to 30k for that site. There are brokers who specialize in selling web properties who would love to get a hold of that site!
I know some of this seems a bit far fetched, but I know people who do this exact method in other niches. I know guys who do this and make a killing. I know a lot of you know the fiverr gig from "BKnights" and that's exactly what he does. he sells you a spot on his website and blasts his email lists. with my time doing Kindle, I paid him hundreds of dollars to promote my books.

ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what big companies are paying me for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So big companies pay millions of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.
