Quote Distribution (cat:
Quotes)
"It's
all
about
the
quote!" is
our
motto.
It
is
the
author's
or
publisher's
responsibility
to
furnish
us
with
at
least
one
winning
quote
(our
editors
are
happy
to
offer
suggestions).
Once
we
have
the
quote
that
shows
the author's
style,
interests, wisdom,
etc., we publish
it on high
ranking websites,
such as Goodreads.com. |

Creation
/ Promotion
of Facebook
Fan Page (cat:
Social)
We
created the Facebook
Fan Page (or "Like" page)
for Roman Payne on
October 5th 2010. Only
15 days later, the
page had over
2,000 fans ("likes"),
thanks to our promotions.
Now the page is self-running,
self-building, and
requires little upkeep.
The author/publisher
can keep in touch with
fans, by posting messages
on the page, with the
frequency they choose. |

Publication
of Author
Wikipedia-Style
Bio (cat:
Web)
The "quote" is
the starting
point. Potential
book-buyers
will then
want to know
more about
the authors
you publish.
When they
Google your
author’s
name, they
will find
our encyclopedia-style
articles
published
on high-ranking
sites. |

Publication
of Author
Advertorial-style
Bio (cat:
Web)
It
all begins
with
the quote.
After
potential
book-buyers
are intrigued
by your
authors’ quotes,
they
will
search
for them
on Google.
Along
with
encyclopedia-style
articles,
we distribute "advertorial" articles
on popular
sites
to help
promote
author-branding
and book
sales.
