as an intrinsic part of this package, we will promote and advertise
your book throughout the site. Book adverts like the one below will
appear on the Sky-Tribe homepage, all the 'Sky Base' site management
pages that are used by all members and which receive over 400,000
page views a month. Adverts for your books will also appear as an
automatic signiture every time you send an internal email, as well
as at the bottom of all your story uploads.
But more than this, with the 'Author' package you can sell your paperbacks
and ebooks directly to your readers. Use your own Paypal account to
collect sales revenue. Sky-Tribe does not take any commission. |

Essentially,
this amounts to having your own web site, optimized for book sales,
where you can upload stories and blogs and then invite friends, family
and colleagues to visit your web base, read your work, see your book
advert and click through to make a purchase.
How can Sky-Tribe make book promotion easy?
With so many writers self-publishing it is important that you take
that extra step to bring more attention to your book. The easiest
way to market your work is online and Sky-Tribe has been tailored
to the needs of independently and self published authors.
One thing most people overlook when trying to sell their books is
what effective promotional tools excerpts and unrelated short stories
can be. Sky-Tribe changed its focus from being an e-zine to a writer's
network after one of its founders, non-fiction author Alan Emmins,
discovered how easy it was for him to sell his books off the back
of articles and short fiction stories. Because Alan had the html skills
to build web sites and take advantage of web communities, he was able
to post short stories on various sites and build in an advert/hyperlink
for his books that sent his readers straight to Amazon. He proved
that it was much easier to sell books to somebody that had already
read and enjoyed something he had written, like a short story, than
to somebody who had never read his work.
Of course, not everybody has html skills, so Sky-Tribe has developed
a foolproof system to attach an advert for your books to your own
online activity. As a Spoiled Author, adverts like the one below will
be automatically added to your Sky-Tribe home page (sky-tribe.com/yourname),
to all your story and blog uploads and to all your internally sent
e-mails. |
