Get Your Book on Reader's Hands Fast

There is not doubt that the main reason you wrote your book was to get it on readers hands as quickly as they were off the press. But is easier said than done, right? No matter what inspired you to write your book, you had a message in mind, but did you know its audience?
I hate to break it to you, but this is a business and even though I'm talking to artists here most of the time, this is the reality. When you think about writing your book you must know your audience, the message and all the potential promotional ideas that could propel the book's sale. You might also want to consider if there is a possibility for sequels on the book. Just think of the Chicken Soup series, or Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings just to name a few. It could be fiction or non-fiction, it really doesn't matter. What I'm talking about here is a book marketing plan that will take your book from the press to your readers in the shortest amount of time, that's what we want.
When I created Guerrilla Marketer's Cafe is was totally out of my efforts to market my own book. I found along the way many authors who were on the same path as me. I love to network with authors who are focused on letting the world know about their books which is not an easy task.
Before too long we accumulated enough information and ideas to market our books effectively. Authors started to put many of the ideas and promotions posted on our active Forum obtaining good results which we shared on our Brag Board. We encouraged and helped each other reach our individual audience. What we noticed was that those who did something to promote their book on a daily basis were the ones who obtained better results.
Being informed and then acting on the information is key in this business and between the site and this blog we are trying to do just that. I would like to hear from you as how the blog and site is helping you or not. It's my goal to continue to grow and improve it anyway I can. So if you would like to share your thoughts I'm sure other authors will thank you, not to mention myself. It is in this sharing that we have grown to over 120 members and we expect to add many more as we do our best to help them promote their books free.
To your success!
