Group Marketing - Just Imagine

​Sooooooooooo, a lot of thoughts and ideas today – this week and I thought that I would share. I posted this information  on our Facebook page earlier this week. As I was writing it I thought that it would make for a great blog post. So, here you go.
 
The thought behind the blog is to make you wonder and to hopefully make you see the benefits. For when Breaking Rules Publishing was created the idea was to also create a writing community to continue to help promote and encourage each other. The idea – we are stronger together than we are alone.

​So –
 
I wonder what would happen if we all took the time and started to help promote each other’s books - tagged our friends, family and followers and other authors in our friends list in our posts that we create. It might take you a minute to collect names to tag at first – but if you created a list in a word doc – you could easily cut and past the names and add to the list as needed. That would certainly make it easy. Agreed?

​I wonder if our authors and marketing team should coordinate that?
 
I wonder how we can get more of our authors on board with this?

Consider this if you will - if there were 150 plus people sharing your books on their own social media - how many people could you reach? How many people all over the world would be able to see your book, read your blurb, witness your cover art – experience you as a writer? Seriously, just how many?

​Well the answer is – and this is on the low side.
 
Imagine 150 people with an average of 2000 friends – I realize that we all don’t have 2000 friends on our list – but some have more that will average it out. My idea is - considering that only 16% of your friends actually see your posts - that leaves about 320 people per person – that would equal about 54,000 people - all over the world looking at your book and possibly buying it.
 
The challenge isn’t to get people to actual see your book. The challenge is to get authors and writers on board. To really commit to the idea and project to make it work. Right off the bat we have negative Nelly’s telling you that it won’t work. That they can’t seem to get people started or interested. The idea is good – the follow through is where it all falls apart.

​
So here is my challenge – I’m willing to share and post your work on all of the BRP social media sites – if you’re willing to post about my own books – then I’ll share you on my own page – I’ll share my 5000 friends  and nearly 2000 followers with you. But it has to be a tit for tat situation. If you’re willing – so am I.
