HOW
THE AUTHORS AT JUST MY BEST,
ARE PROMOTING
THEIR BOOKS
Just My Best, Inc.
equip their books with a Library of Congress number. Once the books
are printed, a book is mailed to the Library of Congress, where the
books are logged, ready for the libraries to purchase. In addition,
JMBPUB places their books with all the major distributors. This includes
Ingram's who is the largest book distributor in the USA. The author's
book becomes available to more than 25,000 brick and mortar book stores
in the USA. The book is actually available worldwide, and Just My Best,
Inc. can print and ship from the United Kingdom as well as the USA.
Between 7-14 days after the book is printed it will appear on all major
online bookstores such as Barnes & Nobles, Amazon, Books A Million,
etc.
Just My Best, Inc.,
prides themselves on publishing quality books in attractive, strong
covers. In addition, they create a web site for each of their authors
as well as an informative book page. What they can't offer an author
is a tour allowance, an advance, and they can't schedule book signings
events for authors. They just don't have the employees to do it all.
Just My Best advises authors to email and fax out press releases, visit
local bookstores to introduce themselves to the events coordinator and
offer to do book signings. This publishing company has documents on
their web site that explains things such as, how to put media kits together
and how to write press releases. They offer links to free press release
sites where you can post a press release. They also have a list of places
you can send your book for a review. Within the publishing company itself,
many of the veteran authors, willingly review books, share tips, tricks
and promotion ideas with new authors. In addition, authors can find
numerous articles on the internet with suggestions on book promotion.
Rosanna Filippello, Philadelphia, Pa., author of the ANGELO MYSTERY
SERIES, has authored five books, is constantly ordering her books and
selling them from her car to people she meets. She emails and faxes
press releases to local media and has gotten several radio interviews,
numerous feature stories written about her, and has been invited to
appear for speaking engagements. Her third book in the ANGELO MYSTERY
SERIES will be released October 2005. Filippello, is one of the authors
at, Just My Best, that retained her original book cover illustrator,
by paying his fee herself.
Some of the authors
at Just My Best, Inc. have found clever ways to gain more sales on the
online bookstores. Incidentally their books appear on every Amazon web
site worldwide. Just click on the various countries on the bottom of
Amazon's main page and you can go to Japan, China, etc., and type in
the JMBPUB author's name and bring up a listing of their books.
One of the founders,
"Janet Sue Terry," Wilmington, Ohio, has written such books
as her contemporary romance Set Me Free Series, POSSIBILITIES,(book
1), RESOLUTIONS,(book 2), and JUST OUR BEST SHORT STORIES 2005. Terry
is originally from London, Kentucky, and is an Honorary Colonel in Kentucky.
Her newest book, A RICH, DELICIOUSLY SATISFYING COLLECTION OF BREAKFAST
RECIPES, is being released in September 2005. She finds that book store
employees feel honored when authors set time aside to visit them and
introduce them to their new books. It has been her experience that once
she visits the book store they order a number of her books. She has
sold more books through independent stores than chain stores because
owners make their own decisions.
Some of the, Just
My Best, Inc., authors set up and sell books at flea markets, art and
book shows, homecomings, as well as fairs and festivals, thus creating
their own book signing events.
Betty Dravis, San Jose, Ca, author of THE TOONIES INVADE SILICON VALLEY,
sent her book to all the government officials, newspapers, radio, and
television stations in her city. Her sales reflect the hard work she
puts into marketing.
Dr. M.E. Fayed, Milton, On., Canada, author of POPCORN CLEANS UP, (9/2005)
is a well recognized author, Chemical Engineer and Professor. He is
releasing a book through JMBPUB containing research results over a period
of years, on how to purify water and air with popcorn. He could have
picked any publisher he wanted to, but choose, Just My Best Book Publishing
Company, because of their friendly service, book quality standards,
and prompt turn around time. He plans to launch a massive advertising
campaign by sending copies of his book to all USA media outlets, as
well as the US Congress, State Senators, and the President. He has already
contacted numerous sources in the USA who are waiting to order his book
to stock in their businesses. In Particular the popcorn industry. Dr
Fayed has his entire family promoting his book.
Stan Asia, Lagos, Nigeria, author of the SCAM GAME, (10/2005) has spent
a great deal of time interviewing and investigating scammers who send
out email, faxes, and postal mail luring people into advance fee fraud
schemes. Stan intends to email 10,000 messages a day out in an effort
to sell his book.
David Rehak, Czech Republic, author of CRIPPLED DREAMS, and DID LIZZIE
BORDEN AXE FOR IT? just received an email letter from a publisher in
Turkey wanting to translate his books and sell them there. Rehak spends
hours and hours on internet marketing and he sells a lot of books. The
letter from Turkey was a result of, Just My Best, Inc., making Rehak's
books available in Turkey, and him working the International internet
bookstores to make people notice it.
Victoria Taylor Murray, Covington, Kentucky, author of the SHADOW OF
HER SMILE, frequently makes the best seller list on Amazon.com because
of her shrewd online marketing skills.
The Just My Best Book Publishing Company also places a section of book
advertisements in the back of each of the books they publish. If a book
sells a lot of copies, all their authors get exposure and possible sales.
To succeed in this dog eat dog business, these are the kind of people
publishers want to recruit. Yes, all traditional publishers want ambitious
and determined writers who want to succeed. These authors write one
book after another adding to their publishers stock.
Although the Just My Best Book Publishing Company is small and struggling,
they have some really great people working with them. They are excited
about their books and their people, and always looking for grassroots
methods for promoting their selections. They firmly believe that If
an author can't get excited about their book, they won't be able to
get others excited about it.
