Top 10 Tips to Promote Your Books Through Flyers


A good, inexpensive way to promote your books is a flyer. What makes one
flyer so much better than another? Use these tips to make yours stand out
from the crowd.

1. Include your front cover. People want to see what your book looks like.
Color is great, but not necessary. Make sure your colored book cover copies
well in black and white. It's far cheaper to print in black and white.

2. Hook your prospective buyers in the top line. For instance, read about SEX
as it really is! Give your audience a reason to buy--Show those benefits!

3. Include some juicy excerpts. Buyers want to see a sample of your writing.

4. Include your picture with a brief biography near it. People want to see
what the author looks like. Place it on the right side if possible.

5. Add praise from others. This is the most important way to market. The
praise doesn't have to be from famous people. One author added a testimonial
from a convict!

6. Put ordering information on a coupon at the flyer's bottom. Include ISBN
number, Web site URL, and discount information.

7. Make it easy to buy. Say you accept credit cards, checks or money orders.
Include your 800 number.

8. Give your buyers all the ways to stay in touch with you-street address,
e-mail, Web Site, local phone and fax number, and 800 number.

9. Carry at least 25 flyers with you in a folder. Give one to every person
you meet. Remember the "law of seven." After seven exposures, you have a
buyer!

10. Use the backside of the flyer. Multiply buying results with more
testimonials on the back. Include a longer excerpt from your book.

Your flyer is an extension of your book, and one of the least expensive ways
to market with print. Print hundreds, even thousands so your book buying
public can easily purchase your book.

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61)
The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2,000,000 copy bestselling inspirational book, The Power of Now

With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now." In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.

About the Author

ECKHART TOLLE is a contemporary spiritual teacher who is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition. In his writing and seminars, he conveys a simple yet profound message with the timeless and uncomplicated clarity of the ancient spiritual masters: There is a way out of suffering and into peace. Eckhart travels extensively, taking his teachings throughout the world.

Customer Review: Sorry I spent my money

I was hoping for a real review. The book seems to compare the top 10 vitamin brand by brochure. I didn't like it!

This is an excellent guide for the consumers to choose quality supplements. It gives ratings (1 to 5 stars) to more than 1500 multivitamins in North America.

Customer Review: Great Buy, Lousy Service

Amazon was the place to buy Quickbooks 2008. Their price beat QB central by $130.

Technical service by Quickbooks with a problem which was discovered after the upgrade has been terrible. Even after hours on the phone with overseas support they could not help. Lack of quick and qualified service has cost our organization hours of man hours.

Customer Review: Can't beat this price.

MSRP is $449 and Intuit dealers get 20% off. Try coupon code H44ED7YK for a $75 off the above price till sometime in April. Total with free shipping is $320.99. Can't find it cheaper anywhere. Just thought I'd share.

Customer Review: Thanks Ro! We love it!

3 1/2 year old son loves this game. Took him a day to really get the idea of following the rules, but other than that he LOVES it! Very durable and easy to pick up and store. Great way to teach a small child how to play a game. He never gets bored with it and after a week of playing he is a really very good at playing! Great game for preschools also. Rosie O reccommended this game on her blog and we love it! Thanks Ro!

Customer Review: Everyone can play!

I have three kids - 3, 5 and 11 - and the four of us can all play and have fun with this game. It actually got competitive so we had to keep playing until everyone won! This game was recommended to me - and I'm so glad I ordered it.

Customer Review: Great price for what you get

As the title says, it's a great price (right now, spring 2008) for what you get. 320GB and Firewire, which was my biggest point.

Customer Review: Great drive, poor backup software

I've had two of these drives for a little over a year now and they've been great. No noise, reliable and stable.



However, the backup software (EMC Retrospect Express HD) that came with them is horrible. It crashes Windows Explorer about once a day, and also takes the focus off of any window I happen to be working in constantly throughout the day. If I turn the software off none of that ever happens.



I've tried contacting their support and have been on their forums, but I've never received any help. If you're going to get this drive, make sure and use some other backup software because EMC's software is absolutely terrible.



This would have received a 5-star rating if it weren't for the software bundled with it.



Halo, Books 1-3 (The Flood; First Strike; The Fall of Reach)



Halo, Books 1-3 (The Flood; First Strike; The Fall of Reach)
The official novels of the award-winning Xbox game! This set contains The Fall of Reach, First Strike, and The Flood -- the complete chronicles of the bloody Human-Covenant War on Halo.

The Fall of Reach
As the bloody Human-Covenant War rages on Halo, the fate of humankind may rest with one warrior, the lone SPARTAN survivor of another legendary battle . . . the desperate, take-no-prisoners struggle that led humanity to Halo--the fall of the planet Reach. Now, brought to life for the first time, here is the full story of that glorious, doomed conflict.

First Strike
The Human-Covenant war rages on as the alien juggernaut sweeps inexorably toward its final goal: destruction of all human life!

The Flood
The Human-Covenant War, a desperate struggle for humankind’s very survival, has reached its boiling point on the mysterious, ring world called Halo. But the fierce Covenant warriors, the mightiest alien military force known, are not the only peril lying in wait.

Customer Review: great backstory

These three books provide a really interesting back-story to Halo games. It really helps you appreciate the games all the more.

Customer Review: Captivating

Any anticipation of what this series offers should be thrown out the window. This group offers so much more than the games ever could. So many attachments to characters are developed throughout the series only to to be lost to a seemingly unwinable war. It would very much stand alone as a saga without ever having played the games in the sci-fi world, for young and old alike.

Customer Review: Sorry I spent my money

I was hoping for a real review. The book seems to compare the top 10 vitamin brand by brochure. I didn't like it!

Customer Review: an excellent guide for consumer

This is an excellent guide for the consumers to choose quality supplements. It gives ratings (1 to 5 stars) to more than 1500 multivitamins in North America. Supplements from Kroger, Walgrees and costco, etc get a very low score of their products. I'm suprised. I highly recommend this book to someone who is taking supplements or considering taking supplements.

Customer Review: Great Buy, Lousy Service

Amazon was the place to buy Quickbooks 2008. Their price beat QB central by $130.

Technical service by Quickbooks with a problem which was discovered after the upgrade has been terrible. Even after hours on the phone with overseas support they could not help. Lack of quick and qualified service has cost our organization hours of man hours.

Customer Review: Can't beat this price.

MSRP is $449 and Intuit dealers get 20% off. Try coupon code H44ED7YK for a $75 off the above price till sometime in April. Total with free shipping is $320.99. Can't find it cheaper anywhere. Just thought I'd share.

Customer Review: Thanks Ro! We love it!

3 1/2 year old son loves this game. Took him a day to really get the idea of following the rules, but other than that he LOVES it! Very durable and easy to pick up and store. Great way to teach a small child how to play a game. He never gets bored with it and after a week of playing he is a really very good at playing! Great game for preschools also. Rosie O reccommended this game on her blog and we love it! Thanks Ro!

Customer Review: Everyone can play!

I have three kids - 3, 5 and 11 - and the four of us can all play and have fun with this game. It actually got competitive so we had to keep playing until everyone won! This game was recommended to me - and I'm so glad I ordered it.

Customer Review: Great price for what you get

As the title says, it's a great price (right now, spring 2008) for what you get. 320GB and Firewire, which was my biggest point.

Customer Review: Great drive, poor backup software

I've had two of these drives for a little over a year now and they've been great. No noise, reliable and stable.



However, the backup software (EMC Retrospect Express HD) that came with them is horrible. It crashes Windows Explorer about once a day, and also takes the focus off of any window I happen to be working in constantly throughout the day. If I turn the software off none of that ever happens.



I've tried contacting their support and have been on their forums, but I've never received any help. If you're going to get this drive, make sure and use some other backup software because EMC's software is absolutely terrible.



This would have received a 5-star rating if it weren't for the software bundled with it.



Halo, Books 1-3 (The Flood; First Strike; The Fall of Reach)



Halo, Books 1-3 (The Flood; First Strike; The Fall of Reach)
The official novels of the award-winning Xbox game! This set contains The Fall of Reach, First Strike, and The Flood -- the complete chronicles of the bloody Human-Covenant War on Halo.

The Fall of Reach
As the bloody Human-Covenant War rages on Halo, the fate of humankind may rest with one warrior, the lone SPARTAN survivor of another legendary battle . . . the desperate, take-no-prisoners struggle that led humanity to Halo--the fall of the planet Reach. Now, brought to life for the first time, here is the full story of that glorious, doomed conflict.

First Strike
The Human-Covenant war rages on as the alien juggernaut sweeps inexorably toward its final goal: destruction of all human life!

The Flood
The Human-Covenant War, a desperate struggle for humankind’s very survival, has reached its boiling point on the mysterious, ring world called Halo. But the fierce Covenant warriors, the mightiest alien military force known, are not the only peril lying in wait.

Customer Review: great backstory

These three books provide a really interesting back-story to Halo games. It really helps you appreciate the games all the more.

Customer Review: Captivating

Any anticipation of what this series offers should be thrown out the window. This group offers so much more than the games ever could. So many attachments to characters are developed throughout the series only to to be lost to a seemingly unwinable war. It would very much stand alone as a saga without ever having played the games in the sci-fi world, for young and old alike.
