Online Promotion: RECORDING THE AUTHOR SOUND BYTE

RECORDING THE AUTHOR SOUND BYTE

Written by Howard Hopkins

Promoting on repparttar

internet can sometimes feel like a cold, detached endeavor. There are scores of places to list a new ebook, request a review or drop a press release. But most contact with potential readers comes in repparttar 125076

form of printed words on a screen. While that's what you are trying to sell to begin with, your printed words on a screen, a certain level of intimacy is missing. Printed words carry repparttar 125077

tone in

reader's mind, their interpretation of repparttar 125079

author's phrasing and rhythm. That's all well and good but how do you create that elusive intimacy with your reader that goes beyond repparttar 125080

sound of their own thoughts? Or entice new readers to "hear" your words in your voice when they read?

For print authors--and sometimes e-authors--there is repparttar 125081 author signing. Of course, this is somewhat limited by area and tour itinerary. Even so, most e-authors can't afford author tours and repparttar 125082 luxury of reading to their readers and potential readers is limited.

So why not create a sound byte those readers can download, either when they buy repparttar 125083 book or before? Let them hear your voice, so you are more than just a few printed words on a screen. Become three-dimensional in their mind, get close up and in mono.

Creating a sound byte is not difficult and in fact can be constructed even on older computers. I created one using Windat on Windows 3.11, but it can be done with sound recorder on later Win versions.
