How to spread the word on the Internet

August 21st, 2008

I was trying to find information about a book called The Age of Conversation when I came across the main site promoting the book and read a post on how thet intended to promote the book on a particular day and wanted to get their readers to help this happen.

This is the gist of what they planned to do:

  1. Buy the book – pretty obvious as to why!
  2. Blog about it – yes!
  3. Twitter Commentary – if a certain keyword is used when twittering, the site Twemes.com will pick it up and you cab track its popularity
  4. Trackback or Comment on a particular post written by them – “everyone can follow the conversation and help promote exposure on social sites (Digg, StumbleUpon, Del.icio.us, etc).”
  5. Stumble, Digg and Reddit the posts & tell/email all your on-line friends to do the same
  6. Post to the main other social networking sites like Del.icio.us (bookmarking), Facebook, Technorati and Ma.gnolia (search engine for searching blogs), Furl, BlinkList, Newsvine, etc.
  7. And finally keep talking: “Get on ooVoo, iChat, Aim, or where ever you like to talk, and start talking”

    That was our approach! Worked very well … also helped having 100+ authors involved.
    A new edition is currently being prepared. Keep your eyes and ears open mid-September 😉
