Here's a great tip from the PublicityHound
Publicity Hounds who want to create a huge presence online should be writing book reviews and posting them at places like Amazon.com and EzineArticles.com, the giant online articles directory.
Christopher Knight, who owns EzineArticles.com, says that last month, articles in the Book Reviews category received seven times the amount of traffic per article than articles in the main category of Shopping & Product Reviews, and two times more traffic than the average of all articles in the same main category.
He offers a list of helpful tips on how to write book reviews at his blog at http://tinyurl.com/yvmrcb
Why are book reviews so powerful? For several reasons.
People who buy books read reviews to determine whether they should spend time and money on certain titles. Also, if your review includes relevant keywords, the search engines will find them. That means people who don't know you will find your review and, if they like what they read, they might end up at your website.
Don Mitchell and Randy Gilbert have turned Amazon.com into a veritable goldmine of leads by writing book reviews and posting all kinds of other information there.
"How to Make Amazon a River of Gold (for Authors, Speakers and Consultants)" explains their step-by-step process, and you can follow in their footsteps, even if you aren't a published author.
It's available as a CD or an electronic transcript that you can download and be reading as soon as your order has been approved.

Have you ever turned on the news or picked up a newspaper and been surprised -- or jealous -- to find a profile on your biggest competitor?
Perhaps you thought it didn't matter and that as long as you continue doing a good job, clients will find you through word of mouth?
But what's the point of doing a good job or having an excellent product if you're not telling people about it and building on your achievements?
By showcasing your success, you'll rise above your competition, build powerful credibility while increasing profits along the way.
