Spread the word: BookBuzzr
We all know that, once published a book, not even a half of work, because the real difficulty comes with the promotion. Visibility, visibility, visibility is what you need, and publishers, especially small (but not only) anzichenò niche. So here's the medium-small author who became promoter of himself.

Therefore, as for many other things, fortunately there's the internet, with tons of virtual squares and marketing tools, more or less useful, more or less easy to use to spread the word about our book.

Lately I have taken this path. I opened a site entirely dedicated to the book, I made and published a book trailer, vo bizantinerie of studying the social networks and social bookmarking sites, and this morning I came across this: BookBuzzr.

BB is not a social network, and is presented specifically as a marketing tool. In essence, provides access to an excerpt of our book in a format agreeable to see, including information and links, and make it available through a number of channels, both through the features of the site and through the use of a code "embed "(to understand how the video on YouTube). What is potentially interesting and, I can testify in person, easy to implement.

When I opened my site, I would have liked in the beginning it was included in downloadable PDF format, but after a keen study of the wonders of Wordpress I had to withdraw due defeat. The beginning was there, on a page, copied and pasted ... duh!

Now I have my bank, complete with information, links, embed code and effect "turn the page", here:

Account as soon as possible to make accessible via the site also excerpts of my novels before.

Working? We shall see. For now I think a potential good idea, with a number of PRO is completely free and is simple to use, allows you to promote several books simultaneously, allowing easy access to major social networks (FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter and so on. ..) and social bookmarking sites (Delicious, Google, Yahoo, Reddit and many others), has a feature that allows you to send a link to extract all your contacts via email GMail, Yahoo and Hotmail ...

... and a few caveats: it is calibrated on a decidedly Anglo-Saxon market, so I do not think we can rely too much on internal traffic information to the service, at least not until BB is not known to the Italian public, the interface is in English, for social networks, if you are not already included and you do not already have a good number of contacts, the usefulness is limited: first you need to build a spin, then advertise the book ...

However, if only for the possibility of spreading to the four winds the beginning of our widget, I think it is worth trying."
