Karma: A New Concept in Social Media to Market Your Book

I just found out about another means to market your books. Even though I've yet to hold a book with my name gracing the cover, I'm always on the lookout for ways to market it, WHEN it does!

Anyway, I wanted to share the site with you, in case you want to check it out further.

It looks like a new social media concept to help widen your marketing network--globally--and
your social network as well. FREE, no less.

Basically, it's authors helping authors market their books through their social media networks.

Check out http://bookarma.net. And watch the video!

The registration process looked straightforward: email address, number of books you've sold, where you live, social media networks you subscribe to.  That's all that is requested.

In essence, you use your social media networks to let your contacts know about your book. You write your own blurbs about your book, as usual. Other authors do the same thing.

But in signing up with bookarma, your market widens when other authors "blast" your blurb about your book to their contacts in their social media network, which, in turn, widens your marketing possibilities. Exponentially, no less.

And this could increase your marketing/selling network, not just locally or nationally, but globally.

Plus, you get to choose which books you want to blast. So, if you don't think a particular book warrants, or would be interesting to your readers/contacts, you are not obligated to "blast" it.

This sounds like a win-win all around.

Check it out and let me know how it works for you!

Until next time. . ..
