Discussion Groups can be a gold mine for generating interest in your book. Search discussion group sites like Yahoo Groups and Google Groups for groups that are relevant to the topic of your book. You can also search for discussion groups by subject matter. Type in the search engines +discussion +groups +mothers +young +children, for example. Join the groups that have at least 500 members and are active. It’s better if the group is un-moderated. You’re not going to spam, absolutely not. But groups that are un-moderated usually have higher activity levels. The posts don’t have to go through the time lag that’s required for the moderator to approve it. If the group is moderated you can see if the activity level is high by looking at the number of posts in a month.

Once upon a time, people went to bookstores when they wanted to buy a book. Or at least, that was the theory. Actually, non-bookstore channels have been a big part of book sales for decades—at least since authors like Joe Karbo (”The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches”) back in the 1960s.

For my own books, whether they were self-published, done with a small commercial house, or by a New York conglomerate, I’ve found that selling direct is more secure, more financially rewarding, and far less hassle than sweating out the returns game with the bookstore channel.



This is actually one of my favorite things about article marketing, because article marketing allows me to gain not only traffic and subscribers through the articles I write, but my own subscribers read my articles, which adds to my credibility and unique identity.

One of the things that is really important in any selling relationship (any relationship, for that matter) is trust.
