I’m pleased to announced the launch of Novelocity.net. This new site highlights easy-to-use Internet promotion strategies for writers. Learn how to boost your name recognition, find readers and sell more books using the popularity and inexpensive nature of the Internet.

The traditional publishing world is struggling with the increasing popularity of electronic books. Their profit margins are shrinking. That means less money for the promotion of mid-list and first-time author books. Without promotion, book sales will be dismal and the writer’s career as an author, short-lived.

To survive and thrive as a writer these days, you need to do your own promotion to get your books noticed and increase sales.

Enter the Internet – the world-wide information net that is now the go-to location when you want to find out anything.

Like what book you should read next.

Writers can take advantage of the Internet’s far reach:

  • to locate readers that may never walk into a bookstore
  • to find readers for great books that maybe didn’t get a huge publicity campaign from the publisher
  • to find fans who will buy, love and rave about their books to other readers

And using the Internet for promotion is super inexpensive compared to other forms of advertising. That’s good news for writers who don’t have a lot of money to spend on promotion.

At Novelocity you’ll:

  • get tips on using your website effectively to impress editors and readers
  • learn how to use social media to find and build relationships with readers
  • discover the secrets of successful strategies that other authors have used to increase their readership and sell a lot more books
  • learn how to put together a marketing plan that fits you and your book

There are 1,733,993,741 people on the Internet (as of September 2009 – probably lots more now).

That’s a lot of potential readers.

Let’s go find them.
