It is an exciting time to publish a new book. I have
published four, and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing our brand-new book
in print or e-book, whether it’s our first, second, or fifth. When we go to
Amazon, Barnes, & Noble, and other websites, we want to see our rankings
validate the long hours we’ve put into writing our book.
The John 3:16 Marketing Network is designed for Christian
authors to receive more exposure on book launches. As difficult and challenging
as the writing process is, marketing is even harder. The John 3:16 Marketing Network
does exactly what the name implies: It networks Christian authors so they can help
each other with book launches on social networking sites via email, twitter and
Facebook.
In March we added an official launch page for the John3:16
Marketing Network at http://John316MarketingNetwork.com.
Launches last from the 1st to the 16th of every month now
and are treated more like book showcases or book promotions. This allows time
for a book to receive maximum exposure through the network and hopefully rank
in the top 100 best-selling books for its category over two weeks.
I want to encourage all Christian authors to help one
another in marketing. I hope to add about thirty new members and have lowered
the joining fee to $10 until we achieve that goal. The only requirements to
join are that you believe in John 3:16 and have a website or blog. For more
information, visit http://www.lorilynroberts.com/john_3_16_marketing_network.html.
Please check us out and spread the word. We are on Facebook,
have a blog, and private forum channel. The more writers who are involved, the
more impact we can have on the world with Christian literature.
Through the John 3:16 Marketing Network, I have “met” many
wonderful Christian authors whom I would not have known otherwise. Those
friendships and relationships are priceless. You never know who will end up
where down the road, and if love is the motivating factor, I believe we can
become a dynamic force and new model for Christian publishing.
Because of recent changes in how we launch books, I have
updated the book How to Launch a
Best-Selling Christian Book. It will be free on Amazon Saturday, April 21.

you have no desire to join the network, there is a lot of helpful information
about building a platform, particularly on Amazon.
