How Social Media has helped me sell more books and make more money…

I really stepped up my social marketing in January of 2010 to see if it would help me to sell more books. I can now (in July) answer that with a YES!  Some of the things that have happened for me due to using social networks as a marketing tool:

1. I have sold books to contacts I met on social networks
2. I have been asked to speak at events
3. I have had journalists find me & interview me for national media exposure
4. I have been asked to be on radio shows
5. I have been asked to contribute to other books
6. I was asked to write a foreword for a book for a major publisher
7. I have been asked to write guest blog posts
8. People have asked to “re-print” or blog my answers to questions and/or article I wrote

There are more but these are the top things that have happened due to my participating in and learning how to utilize social media in my marketing plan for my books.
