Book Blogger Fair

-


Writers from all around the world are poised to participate in 2013 Book Blogger Fair happening July 22-26. This event provides authors with a wonderful opportunity to share ideas and promote their work with other writers. Unlike some virtual book tours, the BBF is a free service coordinated by Kayla Curry and her associates, Fel Weitzig and Pereza Thompson http://bloggerbookfair.blogspot.com/p/about-blogger-book-fair.html.

The Book Blogger Fair pairs up authors within specific genres. Participants write blog articles germane to their work and exchange them with other writers during the fair. Additionally, the BBF offers a number of events including contests, Q & A sessions with authors and give-aways. Some of this year's events include an Art Fiction Gala and a Flash Fiction Challenge http://bloggerbookfair.blogspot.com/p/events_5.html.

Writers who participate in the BBF are automatically entered into the Readers Choice Awards. Readers can vote for their favorite books, with the winner receiving a button for their blog and an Amazon link for their book posted on the BBF website for one year

The Book Blogger Fair also benefits readers by offering free product from numerous writers as well as a $.99 sale offered for specific works. Readers are encouraged to take advantage of all the action during the annual Book Blogger Fair http://bloggerbookfair.blogspot.com/p/about-blogger-book-fair.html.

In celebration of the BBF, I will be offering free copies of Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book to any interested listeners July 22-26 http://www.yikesaudiobook.com. If you would like to receive a free copy during the BBF, please e-mail quirkyaudiobooks@infowest.com.

The sponsors of Voice Acting For Dummies are offering this guest blog post that I thought would be helpful to actors and writers. Enjoy!  An effective Internet marketing strategy is one of the keys to a successful voice acting business. Your business needs a multi-pronged approach to ensure positive results. One of the first things any voice actor needs to do before jumping in full force to self-market is to build a website.

(We discuss a marketplace site in the “Utilizing a Voice Acting Marketplace Website” section in this chapter.) Building a personal website When you modestly invest...

The First Review of Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book

AudiobookFans.com Gives Yikes! 4.5 Stars      Two bloggers from Indiana are the fist to review Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book. Maggie and John, siblings who administer the AudiobookFans.com website, have reviewed more than 200 audiobooks. Although Maggie and John are related, their preferences differ when it comes to genre. This is good news for audio book publishers who are looking to get their work reviewed because if one of them isn't interested, chances are the other one is!      John began his journey into the world of audio books to keep him company during his business travels.

For the gathering this month, I suggested we learn about Search Engine Optimization – a concept generating a lot of buzz these days. I don't know much about Search Engine Optimization, but marketing gurus insist it is the pathway to a successful website. Anything related to the internet boggles my mind, so I thought Search Engine Optimization for Dummies seemed like a good place to start http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/search-engine-optimization-for-dummies-cheat-sheet.html Generally speaking, SEO refers to the visibility each website has for search engines such as Google. The name of the game is to get the highest ranking possible on a given search engine to increase the chance of people clicking on your website.
