"The Savvy Author’s Down and Dirty Guide to Getting the Most From ARe
Several of our publishing partners have asked us to create a "Tip Sheet" for authors so they can get the most out of promotion at AllRomance.com, OmniLit.com, and AReCafe.com... Here it is! We hope you find it helpful.
Linky Love: Link to the ARe book detail page whenever you post your eBook or an excerpt. Readers who shop at All Romance/OmniLit will then know your book is available there.
Tag, You’re It: Ad tags to your book detail pages. Relevant tags help readers search for and locate books. While you’re there, hit the LIKE button and send your link directly to Facebook. Then tag your books on your Bookshelf in the ARe Café.
Shout About It: Make sure our readers get to know you and your work. ARe Café is packed full of booklovers who are one click away from purchasing your book. Build a Café Profile, update your Status, and participate in Groups. Is your author page on the website up-to-date? If not, let us know! Has your book earned a Best Seller Star, been chosen as an ARe Top Pick, or been reviewed? Post links and icons! People love reading books others have personally recommended.
