Join Me at Facebook’s Watercolor Workout

So encouraging was the uptake on my previous invitation I am asking you to come join me and another ever-increasing group of enthusiasts…

Watercolor Workout is your gateway to a massive resource center focusing on all matters relating to watercolor painting.

Could you really paint your first watercolor this coming weekend?

Yes, you could, and my unique digital instruction kit will show you how!

You will rapidly discover that watercolor painting is not only enjoyable but highly addictive.

When you’ve completed the first picture to your own personal satisfaction, you will want to crack on and paint several more...

First though, let me tell you a little about why I developed this kit.

By profession I am an established author with a string of bestselling traditionally published books to my bow, and when I’m not writing...

I produce watercolor sketches by the score for pure pleasure – and I would like to assist you to do the same.

My kit will empower you to paint watercolors even if you are a complete beginner; even if you cannot draw a straight line without recourse to a ruler.

Watercolor sketches (or doodles as I call them) are my favorite because they take less time to produce but I even so I still manage to knock out full scale paintings when the mood is on me.

* Watercolor painting is therapeutic
* Watercolor painting is relaxing
* Watercolor painting is fulfilling
* Watercolor painting is fun
* Watercolor painting is inexpensive

And drawing on my own experience, I shall be releasing at regular intervals informative snippets on the disparate aspects of painting in watercolors.

Please do accept my invitation to join this group…

Have a look, and if you like what you see, join in at no charge (ever).

Using Social Networking to Sell Creative Writing

Can you really do this; use social marketing to sell your creative writing output?

I don’t know for sure yet but I will have an answer in the coming months.

You see, I am about to embark on an exercise using social networking exclusively to supplement the publisher’s launch of the 5th edition of my first bestselling book.

“Starting Your Own Business” (ISBN 9781845283124) first hit the bookshelves way back in 1994. It has had four editions to date and countless reprints. On the age-old concept of, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, the content has remained unchanged over the intervening years save for updating in the shape of additional topical inclusions.

Here is the gist of my plan of implementation to boost sales through social networking:

SOCIAL MARKETING

I will use these core channels deploying events and promotions by way of articles and videos where appropriate.

Facebook
MySpace
Squidoo
Hub Pages
YouTube
Bebo
Daily Motion
Hi5
Gather

Yahoo 360

SOCIAL BOOKMARKING

My social marketing activity will be bounced onto these equally core bookmarking channels.

Propeller
Slashdot
Digg
Technorati
Delicious
StumbleUpon
Twitter
Reddit
Fark
Newsvine
Furl
Swik
Connotea
Sphinn
Blinklist
Faves
Mister-Wong
Spurl
Diigo

This engagement with social networking might be paralleled to acquiring permission to advertise on the BBC - but here’s a better analogy; a strategic social networking campaign in full throttle resembles a motorised fountain whose powerful engine emits jets of cascading water spiralling in every direction.

The comparison ends there though.

The effect of the physical fountain is imprecise and scattergun in delivery; the effect of virtual social networking is precise and objective as its outpouring streams hit multiple pre-determined targets plumb centre; targets from which it enthusiastically bounces onto associated website(s).

How will I know if my engagement with social networking bears fruit?

Here’s how. Because the book has already been through four editions I know what to expect by way of initial uptake from the publisher’s own launch promotion. Anything extra on this occasion will be down to social networking.

I’ll let you know how I go in a subsequent post…

JIM GREEN is a bestselling author in the realms of fiction and non-fiction.

How to Become a Star in The Social Networking Game

Social networking is all about value and respect. If you provide good value, you will get respect … and traffic. If you provide questionable - or negative - value, then the members of social networking websites will conclude that you have a lack of respect for them. They’ll either ignore you or ride you out of town on a rail.

So what is “questionable or negative value”? Simple: affiliate links or any other kind of self-promotion. When you join a social networking group and start posting affiliate links, you have just shot yourself in the head. No one will trust you. No one will respect you. Your website will get no traffic. And nobody is going to buy from any of your affiliate links.

OK. So what is “good value”? Simple: valuable information or tools that you give away free of charge. When you join a community and provide “good value”, you are seen as a person who gives good value. So you are respected. If you’re new at this, then your first task is to do a lot of Googling to find valuable information and tools that you can give away free to others in your community. Compile a large list … it’ll come in handy.

The best thing you can do is to actually ask people in the community what they really need. Or listen when they talk to others about it. Then figure out a way to give them what they want. You will gain their trust and respect, which is way more valuable long-term than any affiliate commission you might miss out on today.

Your heart must be pure. Your intention must be to help, to provide value (that word again!). People will trust you when they see that you are genuine, honest, & transparent. But they start out suspicious, because they’ve been burned before. If they think your intention is to do whatever you have to do in order to trick them into buying your stuff, they will know. And they won’t like it. They will beat on you, and they’ll tell anyone who’ll listen what a jerk you are.

On the other hand … if you care, if you bring value to your Facebook community, if you help people, then they will trust you. And they will follow you. You can build long-term relationships with people who will be happy to see you succeed … and may often help … because they like you and they trust you.

Social networking is not advertising. On these social websites, trust is supreme. Blatant advertising kills trust. Providing true value creates trust. And once you have made the connection that creates trust, it’s a natural move for them to go to your website, because they like you and want to know more about you.

That is how to become a star in the social networking game.

Introducing the Social Marketing Nutshell

Social marketing is everywhere these days, spreading like a gargantuan virus that touches everyone online…small wonder; it works - look at the facts:

Social media giant Facebook is currently adding 1,000,000 25+ (non-student) adults per week to their rosters - that's 52 million new users a year...

YouTube.com gets over 50 million unique visitors per month... over half a billion a year...

MySpace.com sees over 49 million unique visitors each month - over 1.6 million a day...

That’s a stack of traffic and the social websites (there are 1500 of them) are currently outstripping Google and Yahoo in visitor attraction.

You can tap into this swarm of ever-growing enthusiasm if you know how but you will flounder and sink if you don’t…

Perhaps you’ve already had a stab at social marketing but gave up because it looks too difficult; perhaps the outrageous price tags scared you off.

You are not alone. Some months ago I chanced upon a social media training site with a discounted price point of $1300 but I lost interest halfway down the page because the gobbledygook sales pitch made it seem like an impossible dream.

I decided there and then to do it the hard way; research social media marketing from A to Z, carve out my own succinct solution, and put it to the test - with spectacular success - as you can witness for yourself by clicking on this link...

How Meeting Betty Grable Spawned a Book Idea

There’s a line in a famous 1970s pop song composed and recorded by Neil Sedaka that goes something like, ‘I never met you Betty Grable’.

Well, unlike Neil Sedaka, I did, several times over, and on the first occasion I got to shake hands with the 1940s icon which was an enormous thrill for a long time fan.

So, what’s shaking hands with Betty Grable got to do with writing?

Just this: I got to thinking about that momentous first meeting the other evening and it galvanized my brain into sketching out an outline for a new book, something I should have done years ago; something that’s been languishing in my subconscious for eons.

You see, I met many famous people when I travelled the world as a publicist from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. Apart from the delightful Betty G there were chance encounters with Rory Calhoun (Betty’s partner at the time), Frank Sinatra, George Raft, Stan Kenton, Dolores Del Rio, Fess Parker (Davy Crockett), Dusty Springfield, Cilla Black, Mike Sarne, and dozens more.

Oh yeah, (can I hear you say?) anyone could make a claim like that.

That’s true, anyone could, but could they also provide photographic evidence of each and every meeting; like pictures of the luminaries and me together?

That is the essential difference; I can…

So, considering that the majority of these famous people are now either dead or forgotten, will I get my book published by a traditional house?

Yes, I will.

Will it make me a lot of money?

No.

What it will do though is provide me with a sense of fulfilment and at the same time knock out sales of a few thousand copies in the nostalgia niche.

The secret lies in stringing together a chain of offbeat events with a similar pattern - and it occurs in everyone’s life.

Could you come up with such a pattern from your own lifetime experiences?

Think about it – there could be a book in it.

PS: The little girl in the picture sitting beside Betty back in April 1968 is my daughter Stacy (age 5)...
