Carolyn and I always like sharing helpful marketing tips with our blog
followers, so here's a heads up about a great podcast opportunity, The Authors Show, a reputable podcast devoted exclusively to authors.
This is how it works: You are sent questions in advance, so there are no surprises. There is no fee to participate and then, once the audio interview is finished and professionally edited, it is posted on multiple social media platforms, with your book cover and a synopsis of your book included. These first steps are free, but only for 24 hours. Then once the recording is completed, you can purchase
an MP3 copy of your interview for your extended personal use. I went the extra mile and did just that.
This next step took me some time to put together, but I personally think it is the best PR piece I have done for myself: I made a film detailing my journey as the creator of Tales2Inspire, using the Apple program, IMovie, by integrating segments of voice from that podcast with relevant pictures. I posted it on my website BIO page, which, according to google, has been huge drawing card to my website.
I now have two videos on my BIO page.
