Five Quick Ways to Support Your Favorite Author
There are numerous ways you can show your support for your favorite authors and in today’s highly competitive publishing environment, your help means a great deal. Of course, buying their books is the most obvious, but there are other important ways as well. This list may seem like a lot, but it only takes a few seconds or minutes to complete.
1) First, and foremost, rate and write a review of the book for the book’s page on Amazon. Your review doesn't have to be long—a few sentences is sufficient. While you’re there, read some of the reviews for the book and just beneath each review, click on “Yes” if the review was helpful to you.
2) Write a short review for the book’s page on Goodreads as well. It’s a great site for book lovers and it’s free!
Here are the two pages for my books:
Wilderness Trail of Love
New Frontier of Love
3) Follow the author’s Amazon Author Page.Just click on the word “Follow” below the author’s picture. To get to the right page, just put the author's name in Amazon's search box.
4) If the author has a You Tube Channel, first, subscribe to their You Tube channel so you’ll know when they upload new trailers. Second, view their book trailers and give them a thumbs up! For example, you can find my You Tube Channel by simply entering Dorothy Wiley in the You Tube search box.
5) Follow the author on social media and PLEASE spread their posts:
On Facebook, you can like (a thumbs up), but more importantly, SHARE the author’s posts. The SHARE arrow lets you share the author’s posts with others and increases its visibility.
On Twitter, the most important thing you can do is tap the RETWEET button. It looks like two arrows making a box.
Writing a good book is really hard. So, take a couple of minutes and let your favorite authors know you support them. As readers, it's a great way to pay it forward.
