Description

Elisabeth was rude and selfish and demanding, and therefore had very few friends. When she sent out invitations to her birthday party, no one accepted. Her mother warned her that she needed to improve her manners and to try to get along with people. She told Elisabeth that she needed to use the magic word “Please”. So when Elisabeth went to school the next day, she thought of her mother’s advice, “What is the magic word?” and she started saying “Please” and also “Thank You”. She tried to become more thoughtful of others, and discovered that she was a much happier person. Imagine her pleasure when she returned home to find out that her new friends were all coming to her birthday party!

Then we got to meet face to face at an event. I don't even remember which one. But since that time, I have grown to respect her so much that I am not even sure how to convey that. I recently had the pleasure of getting an ARC of her upcoming release <a href="http://www.nikkileigh.com/book_promo_201.htm">BOOK PROMO 201</a>.

I just wasn't sure how she add to this or give me anything any more useful than she already had. Review: <a href="http://www.nikkileigh.com/book_promo_201.htm">Book Promo 201 Harness the Power of the Internet with Web 2.0 and Social Media Marketing</a> Nikki Leigh leads authors and business professionals into a world that is ever expanding and changing. When I picked up this book I was still looking for a downloadable program to introduce me to the world of Web 2.0. Hers is an explanation that anyone can understand. The tips and input from a variety of professionals is invaluable and easy to comprehend. I found myself sitting and wanting to take notes as I read, despite the fact that I had it all right there in front of me. Nikki has a way of talking to the reader, instead of talking at them like so many non-fiction authors. Her writing style is smooth and enjoyable. If you are unsure about whether this book can help you as a writer or a person in any other business, let me tell you. The sections on social networking and podcasting are worth the cost of the book ten times over, then you get to factor in all the other sections. This book should be required reading for anyone trying to promote a business online. Coupled with the award-winning <a href="http://www.nikkileigh.com/book_promo_101.htm">Book Promo 101</a> it should be mandatory for any author going into the business before their book ever hits print. It is too much information and expertise to be ignored by anyone. Don't miss the opportunity this author gives you to drive your business to success.

The author guides the new or established author through the powerful and unlimited book marketing opportunities available on the internet. Nikki Leigh's newest book continues the book marketing and promotional series that began with the award winning <a href="http://www.nikkileigh.com/book_promo_101.htm">Book Promo 101</a>. Nikki Leigh recognizes that authors must take an active role in marketing their books, especially in today's more difficult economy. As a result, she provides both basic and more advanced techniques to using the internet to increase author and book visibility, to boost sales. The book shares proven methods of building personal and book branding, as well as building relationships with potential readers through blogs, social media, and the many forums and online communities available to authors. Nikki Leigh understands book marketing well, and has employed the techniques outlined in the book, in her own successful online book marketing and blog book tour business. By sharing her experiences, Nikki Leigh guides authors through the often confusing internet and social media world. She demystifies the many internet tools including blogs, forums, and the many social media sites, and describes their various uses in easy to understand language. The book gives even the shyest author the road map needed, to navigate through and utilize the global reach of the internet, for building relationships with readers and boosting book sales. For me, the power of the book is the practical and easy to understand style in which the book marketing advice is presented to the reader. Along with the step by step description of the many online tools available, is the information needed to use them properly. Nikki Leigh understands very well that many authors are shy or are reluctant to self promote or to market their books aggressively. As a result, she demonstrates how online marketing is less difficult than many authors imagine, and how marketing on the internet can also be enjoyable and rewarding. By placing strong emphasis on the many social media tools, and the relationship building power of online communities, the author removes all of the hard sell ideas often mistakenly associated with marketing.

So, why do so many people use the Internet to promote books? The exposure an author can have is virtually unlimited, most of the options are free or cost very little, and an author can reach people around the world without leaving home—that’s if you know where to connect with readers and what sites and activities bring the best results both financially and personally. Nikki Leigh has taken the guess work out of online promotion including Web 2.0 technology. She starts with the basics of online promotion and expands by presenting a variety of promotional options. She gives examples to help you Identify your target market and create a brand, write for your target audience, and know your competition. Then, she defines Web 2.0 and tells what it takes to utilize the technology without spending all day online. She carries her instruction a step farther and deals with viral marketing–what is it and how can it help an author—and includes tips for joining social sites that focus on books and authors.

Yvonne Perry, Owner of Writers in the Sky Creative Services <a href="http://writersinthesky.com" style="color:#0000ff;text-decoration:underline;"> http://writersinthesky.com</a> ~*~ Nikki Leigh's Online Book Promotion 201 is one fantastic book that will be a boon to any author, professional or novice.

It is and will be a wonderful reference tool for any author who is willing to use it to its fullest extent. I recommend this book highly for all authors, including myself. Elena Dorothy Bowman - Author of The Sarah's Landing Series, The Legacy Series, Time-Rift, The Odyssey and The Imposter ~*~ I really love the book. I think it is a perfect desk reference for anyone who pursues social marketing online....not just authors. I am so impressed with the up-to-date info that covers the Virtual Social World extremely thoroughly. Many authors would have to admit, diving in by yourself is scary, but using this book will guide you securely & efficiently. I have learned more than I could ever imagine knowing in just the few days since I started reading this book. Kelly Kravitz - <a href="http://doulasurround.blogspot.com"> http://doulasurround.blogspot.com</a> ~*~ Every author, whether new or established, could boost their marketing campaign to new heights by reading Book Promo 201. Many other books on promotion are like cotton candy - all fluff and sugar. Not this book. Author Nikki Leigh delivers the blue-plate special. She doesn’t just talk about promotion, she gives you real-world examples that work. And, she includes multiple tips from other marketing gurus who she networks with regularly. If you follow her advice, you will also build quality strategic alliances while successfully promoting your book. Book Promo 201 is far more than an information or reference book. It’s a workbook. Each chapter has a series of questions to help you gain a working knowledge of that topic. They also help you tailor that particular marketing technique to your specific needs. Another thing that sets this book apart is the scope and depth of coverage on all aspects of Web 2.0 sites. The Internet has evolved from displaying static brochures to becoming more interactive and social in nature. Gone are the days when you simply announce that you have an interesting book. Social networking gives you the opportunity to interface with folks of like interest. By using the extensive information in Book Promo 201, you will begin to build a community where you can share your passion with others who enjoy having conversations about the same topic. Even established authors will appreciate the thorough listing of links related to book promotion. It’s likely you will find new links listed here. In fact, the time you save in finding these invaluable links on your own are worth the price of the book. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that an old book is new to someone who hasn’t read it yet. Previously published books could greatly benefit from a re-energized marketing campaign following the suggestions in Book Promo 201. If you’re not tech-savvy, have no fear. Book Promo 201 is written in clear language that anyone can easily follow.

It’s like having access to the minds of multiple marketing masters in one volume. MaAnna Stephenson - Author of Just the FAQs series Finally! Books for Non-geeks - <a href="http://www.JustTheFAQs.net">http://www.JustTheFAQs.net</a> ~*~ Recently, I had the pleasure of reading Nikki Leigh’s new book on how to become successful in book promotion titled Book Promo 201. Today, there are perhaps more books marketed and sold on the Internet than in physical book stores. With the change in the publishing and book marketing industries, I can say, without a doubt, that Book Promo 201 is and indispensable and vital reading material for serious writers. Just because you may have already read her first book by almost the same title, Book Promo 101, I can tell you that you must buy this new book as well. It is full of extremely practical material that will make a fledgling writer into active, motivated and well-known author, if Nikki Leigh’s systematic approach to internet marketing is followed and applied to social marketing, publishing and linking to other writers and to readers. I have worked closely with Nikki Leigh and she is responsible for what I consider to be a highly successful change in my marketing approach of my four novels, across the net and blog-o-sphere. I had to chuckle as I read her new very valuable book, Book Promo 201. There is enough knowledge in Nikki’s head to fill several volumes, into the future. Yet, with Book Promo 101 and now with 201, we can take Nikki with us wherever we go and use her knowledge as a veritable bible of internet book marketing secret, in which Nikki Leigh has gone out of her way to share so many of her proven secrets to selling books. Nikki has proven her ability of getting the writers who work with her a level of exposure all over the net that many of us never thought we could achieve. That speaks for itself. I found Nikki Leigh’s new book to be very practical, very user friendly and extremely well organized. Her ideas shine through the pages and made me understand that this monster called book marketing does not need to be so frightening nor seem so impossible. If you are like me, I first found that writing the book and even getting it published was an easy task when compared to getting the word out about this fantastic new novel, I had written. Then, I met Nikki and she opened up a new world, on the net, and I have been working at it and seeing my sales and my readership constantly grow. Book Promo 201 can accomplish the same thing for a writer who takes her ideas and proven formulas and applies them to their individual needs. She demonstrates things like the unique benefits of using the Internet to promote an author’s work. She clearly shows the benefits and the financial rewards to marketing, on the net. She is also skilled, in this book, in showing more shy writers how to promote themselves across a very wide and almost completely free manner of gaining exposure to the millions of readers who live in cyberspace. It has made all the difference in my writing career. Book Promo 201 details and demonstrates useful ways implementing such sensible and important tools like targeting your audience, branding yourself and your material, finding and effectively using social bookmarking sites, using blogs to promote your books and the importance of blog tours and using Internet radio. These are but a few of the very interesting and highly useful points that make Book Promo 201 a book that every serious writer must read and use to develop a serious marketing campaign that can propel a writer’s career from frustrating and lonely to very exciting and thriving. If you want to write books that people actually read and to develop a career in writing that can actually become solid and real, then you have to get this book and use it to become a writer who is well known and appreciated. You did again Nikki, but I knew you would! Author Steven Clark Bradley ~*~ I’m so excited about this book! When Nikki first introduced me to her Web 2.0 marketing ideas, it felt like learning a new language. Nikki assured me, a better analogy was that of learning a new dialect. This has proven to be true. Nikki has years of marketing experience, which makes her ideally suited as author of this book. She provides lots of ideas and hands-on information. This allows the reader to pick and choose those ideas that feel right for the marketing of his/her book. Some of the things I found especially helpful for me: I’d come to a point in my professional life where I knew I needed to step out of my comfort zone. Using Nikki’s information on social networking, I opened a Facebook account and started reading other people’s posts: authors, readers’ groups, and people from many walks of life, and networking with other people. By actually doing the work, I gained an understanding of how useful social networking can be. Also, some time ago I started a blog for each of my three published books. Now that I’m co-owner of NorLightsPress.com I recognized that I needed to create a blog for our company and make it a priority to post often and provide useful information. That required me to step WAY out of my comfort zone to learn about twitter and other social bookmarking sites. Nikki goes into this in great detail in her book. I hope readers find it as fascinating as I do. It’s true what Nikki says about learning by simply jumping in and doing it. Experience really is the best teacher with this new technology. If you’ve ever wondered how the pros create “buzz” for their books, you’ll find the answers inside the pages of this book. Nadene R. Carter, published author and Executive Publisher - NorLightsPress.com
