Ebook Review and Online Resources: All You Need is Like

“End of Mae” is Angela’s first published book. It is a wonderful novel about a journalist who tries to find out the secrets behind the Jersey Devil. Little did she know that she will soon be involved in something bigger and spookyer… If you like Twilight, Vampire Diaries and Supernatural, you will LOVE “End of Mae” as it is definitely better and anything else but a “cheap copy”!

But, back to the topic.

For “End of Mae” Angela did spend almost nothing for marketing her first book and yet it is a success. What did she do?

FREE marketing is the key or “No Money Marketing” as Angela puts it. She is an active virtual citizen in “Second Life”. Before the book was published, she did already design homes and clothes for avatars inside this virtual world. She even earns money by renting beautifully designed but virtual apartments inside the game. Could you imagine that?

So it was almost logical that she would try to market her book inside this game/chat. She rebuilt a house from the book and filled it with life. If you see it, you want to know what it is about. And if you already know the book, you will recognize the scene.

She also gave out virtual merchandise, e.g. a free t-shirt for avatars inside to game. Both for female and male characters and completely free. And of course you could read an excerpt from the book to test and taste it.

Clever, huh?

Angela is also active on Gather.com, Facebook and does know how to use her blog to get information out to people.

And all this, all her journey to becoming a published author is described in “All you need is Like”. You do not even have to know or use Second Life. There are so many ways you can use to market something free, it is amazing!

The best thing about this book is the fact that it is not concentrated on solely one way of marketing. It is not concentrated on only Second Life or only Facebook. It describes the right mix and what you yourself have to do. Where the author went, what she did in easy steps and what you can do to promote your product.

I strongly recommend reading this book to get an insight look. You will not regret it.
