Selling your Books to Schools and Libraries – Part 2
Posted by: | Comments
Using Skype to sell more Books
Still another great MARKETING TIP … this one from Barbara Terchel, author of Class Act: Sell More Books Through School and Library Author Appearances (see my last post Part 1).
It appears that I have been so busy on whatever I am busy with that I have missed some of the great ways technology is helping authors sell their books today.
Barbara was interviewed regarding how she uses Skype to talk to schools assisted by her special dog, Frankie. It has cut her costs and increased her availability to such an extent that she has used Skype over 300 times for this type of visit. She gives you a detailed step-by-step description of everything you need to do and know, including setting up your studio in your home/office.
Listen to this fabulous presentation for yourself here on Blog Talk Radio.
Some interesting and useful websites they discussed.

Selling your book to Schools and Libraries – Part 1
Posted by: | CommentsI almost took too long deciding to get one of these books but managed to get two instead. I have a feeling I will be thanking these two authors for not cutting off sales of their joint book sale on October 15 as they had planned. I’ve had a rather busy week and almost missed buying these at a $13 saving. They are pdf files thus sent to you immediately … NO shipping costs. Great deal!
If you hurry,
you might be lucky too! Barbara’s website is: joyfulpaws.com/promote/sell-more-books/
The books are:
Class Act: Sell More Books Through School and Library Appearance (117 pgs.) by Barbara Techel
Marketing Your Book to Libraries, An Insiders Guide for Authors (153 pgs.) by Nancy Humphries
I loved this quote so borrowed it from her website. It could be most appropriate if reading these books makes our books successful!
“When you sell a man a book you don’t sell him just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue – you sell him a whole new life.” – Christopher Morley
