Promote and sell your books online-10 steps for a free book Widget


Now that your book is published, you want to use all means to promote and sell. A book widget is a compact Visual and practical to add to your web/blog site and E-mail line signature that attracts viewers to explore and purchase your book.

I found my choice for a free book at mybookwidget.com widget to GetGlue.com. I chose this widget because when you mouse over (hover) it extends to a large interactive image that offers viewers some great options. They can:

Preview - Click here to go to Amazon to see inside your book

Buy - click on the choice of places to buy your book

Part - click here to share your book on Facebook or Twitter

Regardless of the choice, viewers have not left your website or your blog of exploration or the purchase of your book. Pretty neat!

Here's how to configure your own book widget.

Go to mybookwidget.com
Enter up to 10 book ISBN numbers. (Index: go to Amazon.com, enter the title of the book to locate the book and scroll the page to find the ISBN number to 10 figures for the book)
Give your widget title (usually the name of the author).
Choose the number of books you want to display at the same time: all the books, or 1-3 pounds
Click on the title of the widget to see the configuration options.
(Choisissez_parmi_:_mise_en_page_1) grid or line, colour of skin) 2, 3) the number of points, 4) width in pixels and 5) number of columns.
Choose to display: just the thumbnail or the thumbnail and link.
Select sort books: most recent last all first, most recent, A - Z, Z - A, or at random.
Click on install to get the code.
Copy and paste the code in the body of your site web or blog.

You will be amazed at how simple and effective will this widget.

Forget not your messages for e-mail. Think that the number of messages that you send a day - to the people you know and love. These are people that could buy your book. Copy and paste the widget code book in the line of your e-mail signature. The message on your book out of everyone contact you.
