Authors Can’t Succeed if They Don’t Participate

Too many times I hear authors complain about the fact they created a Facebook page and are writing on Twitter and nothing has happened to the sale of their book. Well the fact is you have to actively participate before anything will happen. Actively being the key word meaning consistently over a long period of time. If your page is static and you don’t provide new content then nothing will happen. It’s called the Law of Action.

The same goes for your web site, the fact is readers, those who actually buy books, will not shop a site that isn’t interesting or lacks rich content. You have to participate, you have to add to your personal profile, your bio, you need to create content for your site such as articles you have written about the subject you are familiar that should tie-into your book. Video or audio placed on your Facebook and other free sites is also recommended.

The more you create content as Independent authors, the more readers will pay attention. The Nothing Binding web site is free and has thousands of links to that site. If nothing happens and there is no new content to your web site, Facebook, Twitter page, or Nothing Binding profile consumers won’t react. Make your site and social network pages your stage, you must participate and make it happen for yourself and your book. Give an author an online presence and stage—who knows what will happen?
