Unleashing The Largest Ever Reader-To-Reader
Word-Of-Mouth
Book Campaign Ever
Ottawa, ON – For an author, putting your book promotion campaign
into the hands of readers may feel like a scary idea, but it
just may work. Tina Adams, owner of Excerptalicious.com is
betting that it definitely will work, and she’s making it easier
than ever for readers to spread the word about books.
On October 5th, Tina Adams launched a site (Excerptalicious.com)
that is set up as both a unique promotional vehicle for authors
(she calls it “book promotion with a twist!”) and a place where
readers may retrieve free samples of books they are interested
in, and pass those samples along to their friends. Yes, at
Excerptalicious.com, book promotion is put firmly into the hands
of an author’s surest bet for unsolicited sales…the hands of
readers.
When asked about her goals for Excerptalicious.com, Mrs. Adams
said, “There are so many goals behind the creation of
Excerptalicious.com, I could not begin to name them all.”
One of those goals, Mrs. Adams confessed, is to encourage
readers to freely share information about great books with other
readers. One way she does this is by allowing readers who
download material from the site to remain anonymous. How does
this help? Mrs. Adams says, “People are more apt to check
something out on the Internet if they are not required to reveal
their personal information in order to gain access to it, and I
wanted Excerptalicious.com to remain open, thus keeping our book
information easily accessible to all.”
Is it working? Excerptalicious.com boasted a mere five titles at
launch, including the upcoming Sleeping With The Fishes by NYT
Bestselling Author MaryJanice Davidson, yet the site has
received almost 300 visitors in a very short amount of time…with
no advertising whatsoever.
