Did you know Amazon now has Facebook “Like” buttons on your book’s sales page? Check my Valentine chapbook (with Magdalena Ball) at http://t.co/eolGaNu .
To get share buttons for FB and Twitter, too, click on the "Like" button. They're new, too.
When you are sharing, you can adjust the wording on the tweets to fit your audience.
Think how we readers and authors can help one another with this feature! And so easily!
You'll find tips like this in my SharingwithWriters newsletter. Just send me an e-mail with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and I'll personally sign you up.

Thanks-good info!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I didn't find the 'Like' button, is it in the same area as the 'share' one?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of charing.
Thanks! By the way, my maiden name was Carolyn Johnson. There are millions of us. LOL

That's wild. Facebook is into everything.
ReplyDeleteSherry, the like button is on each book's sales page. Really pretty evident...near the top of the page close to the book cover image. When you "like," you also get widgets to tweet the FB.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, that's why I have a combined last name. (-:
Best,
Carolyn
It is so much easier to market via Amazon than on many other book sites. Amazon is doing a great job of taking a lot of the work away from authors. Thanks for sharing this tip, Carolyn.
