Imagine using the power of the internet to have a new author's book introduced to 1000's of readers. That is what Kelly Kramer realized when asked to help a friend promote his new book. The friend is author Jeff Buick. Jeff had informed Kelly that many times authors must promote their own books, and without doing so can be disastrous in the form of not getting a second book published.
Since Kelly had no idea what was normal in the world of book writing he came up with a suggestion to Jeff. This simple idea can help any author realize their dreams.
Simply by writing a short ebook that introduces the novel, in the form of a prequel. Then allowing readers to download the ebook
for free and pass the ebook on to others again for free.
This will allow many authors to get exposure for their new book and for themselves.
Also, because of all the online book sellers out there, many of them will promote the free ebook in hopes of getting those clients back to their sites to make a purchase.
As far as the reader is concerned, they will be able to read a short story that will give them an idea of whether or not the book would be of interest to them. This will allow readers to quickly get to know a writers style without having to leave the comfort of their home, or putting out any initial cost.
This form of marketing is very positive for the author, for the bookseller, and most importantly for the reader.
