Book Marketing Tip: How Important Is Your Book Cover?

We have had thousands of book covers come through whether they are for blog tours, book blasts, cover reveals, trailer blitzs, and review campaigns to name a few. One of our most recent things we offer are the book review campaigns. The book review campaigns are for authors wanting more reviews at Amazon. Plus, the bloggers may add your review to your page at Goodreads and your selling page at B&N as well as on their own blog. Just what the author wants. But the main focus is Amazon. This is where books get noticed. The more reviews your book gets, not only will that make your book look

The Greatest Benefit of Virtual Book Tours

I’ve been promoting authors’ books with virtual book tours (VBTs) since 2007. I could share numerous benefits of VBTs: promoting a book from the comfort of your own home, the vast audience they reach, and their longevity (I can type the author’s name and book title from one of my first clients into Google and still see results from her virtual book tour.). I might even discuss two detailed articles I wrote on why VBTs work and how to judge your VBT’s success from my own experience promoting Little Shepherd when it first came out. But I’m not going to talk about any of that. Why? Because that’s not

How State Parks Can Show You How NOT to Sell Your Book

Okay crazy title and I hate it when I see articles titled that way but I’m in a crazy kind of mood so bear with me. I love national and state parks with a passion—mainly national ones, but if you’re traveling and staying in an area that only has state parks, it’s the next best thing. National parks have more to offer, of course. They’re usually bigger, advertised heavily and have more to do. State parks, on the other hand, do have lots to offer just on a smaller scale. I recently returned from a trip to the Poconos. As I wasn’t familiar with the area, I did Google

Straight From the Author’s Mouth: Book Selling Secrets Revealed

If it’s one question that is asked more than any other question that authors ask me about book promotion, it’s “How can I make more sales?” That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? The problem with finding a direct answer is that it can get complicated. What might work for one might not work for another. The best advice I can give is to make sure you have all your ducks in a row before the book is even published. The cover is one of the most important assets an author can have. As shallow as that sounds, a book cover can make or break a sale. The second

How OK! Magazine Taught Me a Thing or Two About Book Promotion

How OK! Magazine Taught Me A Thing Or Two About Book Promotion Let’s say I’m the editor of a weekly supermarket tabloid that focuses on celebrities. I’m writing an article on a certain celebrity couple’s relationship that’s been all over the news lately and I need quotes from a relationship expert. And…I’m on a deadline. The few relationship experts I have in my Rolodex are either out of town, won’t answer their phone or are tired of being harassed by weekly supermarket tabloid editors. Whatever the reason, I’m sweating, hyperventilating and don’t have a moment to spare. Then, a light bulb goes off. This isn’t old journalism, I scream!

10 Things You Need to Know About Virtual Book Tours

10 Things You Need to Know About Virtual Book Tours By Dorothy Thompson, CEO & Founder of Pump Up Your Book By now, most authors know what virtual book tours are or at least have heard of them. They’re that wonderful marketing tool that should be a must have in every new book’s campaign. With each new book I write, I’m making a game plan before the book is even published and a virtual book tour is the first promotional venue on that list. While most of us know what they are, there are still a few new authors who might have heard of them but have no

Promoting Your Seasonal Book Year Round

Promoting Your Seasonal Book Year Round by Cheryl C. Malandrinos Just for the record, I love Christmas. Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I embrace the season with all that’s in me. It wasn’t any surprise, then, that my first published book, Little Shepherd, was a retelling of the Christmas story. Books with a holiday tie-in are wonderful because buyers looking for new ways to present seasonal topics are apt to purchase them. That said, when the holiday has come and gone, sales can drift away. This meant when I put together my marketing plan for Little Shepherd, I had to think about what I would

Susan Kronick to appear in Vienna newspaper because of virtual book tour

A big congratulations goes to Susan Kronick, who has been touring with us since April. Her paranormal novel, Sarah, They’re Coming for You, takes place in Austria and it seems one of the interviews or guest posts that she wrote for one of her blog stops appeared last week in the Vienna, Austria, newspaper “Heute” (translates to Today). Not only that, she has been “friended” on Facebook by members of the Vienna Paranormal Society (Ghosthunters) and she’s a hit in Vienna! They have asked her to meet up with them in Vienna the next time she’s over there and coincidentally she will be in Austria with her sister next

New Facebook Survey!

I don’t know about you but I simply love Facebook. In fact, out of all the social networks, Facebook happens to be my favorite for two reasons. One, I can keep up with what my friends and family are doing and two, I can promote my authors and know that I’m really reaching out to people. There are various stats on just how many people are using Facebook. In my research today alone, someone is saying 400 million, another 500 million and still a third 600 million. Either way you look at it, that’s an awful lot of users. According to the Facebook kahunas themselves, they are saying there

Which would you rather review – paperbacks or ebooks?

I was having a very interesting conversation today with one of our blog hosts, Farrah Kennedy of The Book Faery Reviews, over the subject of reviewing ebooks over paperbacks. Here’s the question she posed to me: “Are authors more apt to provide an e-book vs a paper copy of their books? Depending on the book I’d like to start getting ebook format for my Nook Color if possible. I’d rather save the paper version for a REALLY good book and/or for a giveaway. Your thoughts?” I told Farrah that it was a really interesting question as I just had one of my upcoming authors ask me if I could

Guest Posts: 50 ideas for great guest posts for authors on virtual book tours

When an author signs up for a virtual book tour with us, he more than likely will have to write a few guest posts (unless he specifies an all-review or all-interview tour). While it depends on how long his tour will be, he might be asked to write two, three, sometimes more guest posts. The one thing the author needs to remember is that this is going to be one way to show everyone how well they can write. Sometimes the reader picks up a certain style which may determine whether they may or may not buy their book, believe it or not. What pressure! And sometimes the author’s

What Exactly are Blog Tours, Virtual Book Tours, Online Book Tours, Etc.?

A blog tour, sometimes called a virtual book tour or an online book tour, is an intensive lesson in online marketing that allows others to find out about you and your book through interviews, guest posts, podcasts, or reviews. Instead of the author leaving her home to tour with her book, she can do it from the comfort of her home which makes it easier for most and economically-wise, you can’t beat it. By now, most of you already know what a blog tour is. Sometimes I take it for granted that everyone knows and you’d be surprised to this day I still get questions asking what they are.

What Your Readers and Book Buyers Want to Know About You and What You Need to Know About Them

Every now and then, I’ll have an author ask me what they should write about when asked to write guest posts or what emphasis they should concentrate on when answering questions in interviews or just what they should do to create the most impact on their book buying public without becoming overbearing, pompous or downright horn-tooting obnoxious. The first thing I tell them is get out of the mindset that you’ll be getting on peoples’ nerves with all this horn blowing and get on with the matter at hand. You are out to sell your book. Without you tooting or someone else you pay to toot for you, you

How to Write a Bestselling Author Bio

How to Write a Bestselling Author Bio You heard it right – a bestselling author bio. In order to sell your book, one of the major players in your book campaign is that little bit of text that tells everyone who you are, what book you have written and where to buy it. If your author bio isn’t up to snuff and not creating major author envy and book buying frenzomania, I’d like to offer some tips on how to make that bio sparkle and gleam just like a shiny red penny. To begin with, your author bio needn’t be too short or too long. You have to aim

How to Find the Magic Key to Selling Books

Years ago, before book tours – virtually, that is – and before Twitter and Facebook even – when an author wanted to promote her/his book, they had very few choices in which to do this namely – e-groups, writer’s boards and forums, and wherever else they could find to get their book mentioned. They bought ads in writer magazines (some resulted in little or no sales), they started websites and later, blogs, and they hunted down websites that they could advertise their book, mainly free listings to save them some money. When my first print book, Romancing the Soul, came out, my publisher was very supportive; however I know

-- Lou Aronica, STORY PLANT

"Blog tours have been the most effective promotion I’ve done. Dorothy Thompson and her company Pump Up Your Book are the greatest.

Dorothy has been a Godsend, and by far, her services are the best promotional endeavors I’ve invested in thus far."
-- Alicia Singleton, DARK SIDE OF VALOR

-- Suzanne Jenkins, PAM OF BABYLON SERIES

"Dorothy Thompson helped promote my book, Gringos in Paradise: Our Honduras Odyssey. Taking part in it was so much easier (and less expensive) than the travel schedule I was hving to keep doing on my own.

-- Malana Ashlie, GRINGOS IN PARADISE

"Dorothy was not only a lot of fun to work with but she helped me get the word out about my book. I would recommend her to both debut and experienced authors."

--Kathy Holmes Eckardt, REAL WOMEN WEAR RED

“I invested in a three month virtual book tour with Pump Up Your Books promotions for my noir thriller, Moonlight Falls. Not only did the marketing campaign work wonders for spreading the word about the new novel, in the very last month, on the very last day of the tour, Moonlight Falls became an Amazon Kindle bestseller!”
–Vincent Zandri, MOONLIGHT FALLS and THE REMAINS

“I’m so pleased every day when I look at Google Alerts and see our titles all around the blogosphere, so thanks for that!”
–-World Ahead Media

“This has been a wonderful experience. Dorothy Thompson and her whole team are very committed to each author, take each author’s tour very seriously, and work towards maximum exposure in the right places. This is the best book promotion expenditure I’ve made in terms of return on investment. I highly recommend Pump Up Your Book Promotion.”
--Phyllis Zimbler Miller, MRS: LIEUTENANT

"I used Pump Up Your Book promotions a few months ago for my novel, Nephilim. My publisher is a great person, but when it comes to promotions, she encourages authors to do that on their own. Enter Dorothy Thompson at Pump Up Your Book. I had 8 reviews of the book and was featured as a guest author every day of the week at various websites during the month that I used her company. Amazing! She secured everything for me which was really nice and I didn't have to do anything but write a few blogs or answer interview questions. I would use Pump Up Your Book again in a heart beat!"
--Mary Ann Loesch, NEPHILIM

Question of the Day

How do you make sales happen for you?

A lot of hard work! I sponsor a lot of on line parties, festivals and contests. Book sales don’t magically happen, believe me. An author has to work hard to earn her readers. And then she has to work hard to keep them by giving them something they’ll enjoy reading. I try hard to make my books worth a reader’s time.

-- Sheila Roberts, Author of Winter at the Beach
