Authors...Look up your retail book sales on Amazon!
If you're a published author, don't forget that you can review the sales data for your books on Amazon. Click here and setup a free author account. You will be asked to prove that you're the author of your books and create a bibliography of all your titles.
Once you're account is setup, you can log-in and find a tab at the top of the main page that says "Sale Info." Click on that tab and see your actual sales history for the past 30 days, which may be exhilarating or depressing. However, it's better to know the truth from BookScan than obsess over Amazon's the faulty sales ranking system. Enjoy!

Free Teleconference Call with Rob Eagar
Thursday, April 28th, 8:00pm Eastern
Behind-the-Scenes of an Unlikely Bestseller:
An Interview with New York Times bestselling author,
Lysa TerKeurst
WildFire Marketing client, Lysa TerKeurst, recently experienced remarkable success with her latest book, Made to Crave, which stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for 12 weeks in a row! Even more surprising, Lysa baffled the publishing industry by achieving this success without using the traditional formula of landing major TV exposure, re-buying books in bulk, or going on a whirlwind promotional tour. Learn the secrets behind her success as Rob Eagar interviews Lysa and explains the non-traditional strategies that they developed for her book campaign. During this one-hour, tell-all, teleconference call, you'll learn how to:
- Think outside the typical promotional box to create bigger buzz for your book.
- Build an author platform that grows at a consistent rate.
- Identify what makes audiences respond to an author's message.
- Discover new strategies that help sell more books, reach more people, and change more lives.

WildFire Marketing helps launch new
state-of-the-art website for New York Times bestselling novelist, Wanda Brunstetter!
WildFire Marketing is excited to launch one of the top author websites in America - especially for fiction. Rob Eagar was hired by New York Times bestselling novelist, Wanda Brunstetter, and her publisher, Barbour Books, to create a new brand for Wanda and revamp her online image. Click here to experience the incredible transformation and see the before-and-after picture below.
Wanda's new site invites you to "Lose Your Heart in the Amish Life" with beautiful Amish photography, fascinating facts, and interesting information about Wanda, her books, and the Amish culture. The website also features powerful book marketing tools, including audio, video, book descriptions, sample chapters, retailer links, book club discussion questions, free resources, word-of-mouth tools, reader forum, Amish recipes, and much more. (Be sure your speakers are turned "on" when you visit!)
 In conjunction with the release of her new site, Wanda is holding a contest where the winner will receive a beautiful, Amish-made, quilted wall hanging. To enter the contest, visitors must solve a letter scrambler that is available on Wanda Bruntstetter's new website. All submissions for the contest must be made by midnight Friday, April 22nd. For details and contest rules, click here.
We hope you enjoy Wanda's new website as much as we enjoyed working with her. For more information about the incredible makeovers that WildFire Marketing creates for authors, call 1-800-267-2045.

Cool Word-of-Mouth Tool
for Authors from SocialTwist
|
I'm a big fan of the free social media marketing service called "Tell-a-Friend" from www.SocialTwist.com. Their entry-level product is called Tell-a-Friend4Free (TAF4Free), and it allows people to share online information utilizing more than 80 of the most popular social media channels. When you register for a free account, SocialTwist will give you the computer code to embed cool-looking "Tell-a-Friend" buttons onto your website pages or blog.
 When a visitor clicks on your "Tell-a-Friend" button, a little window pops up that gives them the option to instantly tell someone about you. The visitor can choose to notify others via email, instant messaging, link to their blog, or share the word on a social network account, such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, as well as bookmarking services such as Delicious and Digg. All you have to do is embed the TAF4Free button into your blog or website. Then, visitors who like what you are doing can spread the word and recommend you to their friends, contacts, and networks using their own address books.
Even better, you can log-in to your SocialTwist account and view a report that tells you how many times people have clicked on your Tell-a-Friend buttons and told someone else about you. To improve your response rates, I recommend that you sprinkle these little buttons all over your website. Use them generously and make them easy to see.
I encouraged one of my clients to use these little buttons when building her new author website. Within the first year, she received over 500 referrals! That's a lot of free word of mouth that she wouldn't have garnered otherwise. Try "Tell-a-Friend" buttons, the result speaks for itself!
