BookBuzzr - Online Book-Marketing Technologies for Authors
The BookBuzzr Newsletter


Dear BookBuzzr,

Hope you've been enjoying the Olympic games.

Now you too can go for gold in the BookBuzzr Olympics!

Here's how:

Create or update your Facebook fan page using all the powerful features of the BookBuzzr AuthorPage Widget. The creator of the best Facebook fan page will receive a $20 gift certificate from Amazon.

There is also a silver medal ($10 gift certificate) and a bronze medal ($5 gift certificate).

Apart from this, the winners will get coverage on the BookBuzzr blog and in the next BookBuzzr newsletter.

All authors who create a Facebook AuthorPage widget will automatically be entered for the contest. Judging will be done by our in-house team. Judging criteria will be based on creative use of the various features. More details are available here.

Our intention behind this initiative is to offer you a fun reason to spiff up your Facebook fan page so that you can market your books better to your Facebook audience.

A number of authors have already installed the AuthorPage widget on their Facebook Public Profiles and love it. For example, author Denise Turney wrote in to say,

"As the author of six published books, my latest being "Love Pour Over Me" I know how important marketing is to a book's success. It's a reason I decided to work with BookBuzzr.

I love the way the page looks, and it took less than an hour to build. The share apps (e.g. Twitter, GoodReads, Pinterest) are added bonuses.

In addition to publicizing my books using the app I also let book readers and supporters know about upcoming book sales, giveaways and other promotions. The app is easy to follow, allowing you to make changes at the Book Buzzr interface.

One of my favorite features is the bio section, finally I can add pics and a short segmented bio that allows readers to get to know me better. All in all, it's a cool marketing tool that you can also use to strengthen communications you have with other authors and book lovers!"


To get started, simply log-in to your BookBuzzr book marketing home page and click on the AuthorPage widget link. Please note that this link will work only for BookBuzzr "pro"subscribers. If you have not yet subscribed for a BookBuzzr pro account, this is a good time to try one. Plans begin at just $4.99 per month and the first month is free.

Market Your Book in The Online Halloween Book Festival
Between October 1st and October 31st, you can promote your books on Freado to book lovers in the Online Halloween Book Festival.

The previous festival that we conducted (Summer Romance Festival) was a massive hit with thousands of visitors and plenty of exposure for our participating authors. Here's what author KaSonndra Leigh had to say about the festival:

"Thank you for featuring my book. This promotion is working very well for my sales in other countries. I'll be enrolling Hacienda Moon with Bookbuzzr soon too. Keep me informed when you have these types of promo months. They rock!"

If you have a book that you'd like to promote during the Halloween Festival, please sign-up to participate here.
