Wheatmark Announces Web Marketing Analysis for Books
Innovative tool aids authors in finding online markets
TUCSON, AZ -- 05/06/2008 -- Wheatmark, Inc. (http://www.wheatmark.com), the independent author's most powerful ally, is pleased to announce the introduction of the Wheatmark Web Marketing Analysis (WMA) (http://www.wheatmark.com/web-marketing-analysis.cfm) -- a content-improvement tool that helps self-publishing writers tailor their nonfiction books to existing niche Web markets.
Wheatmark developed the product after watching some of its own authors struggle to find an audience for their work. "Often, the problem isn't with a book itself," says Wheatmark president Sam Henrie. "Sometimes, an author simply hasn't identified his or her book's niche market and how best to reach it."
Since the Internet offers an easy-to-reach global audience, Henrie recommends doing extensive market research there.
"With the Wheatmark WMA's help, nonfiction authors will learn how to identify the market for their books on leading Internet bookselling sites like Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com before they publish them," says Wheatmark publishing consultant Grael Norton.
"Ultimately, this will save them a lot of time, money, and aggravation after their book is published."
"Anyone who wants to understand the nitty-gritty of launching a successful book sales campaign on the Web will want to own this product," says Amy Hirshberg Lederman, nationally syndicated columnist and author of One God, Many Paths: Finding Meaning and Inspiration in Jewish Teachings.
The Internet gives independent authors with limited budgets the ability to compete with even the best-funded publicity departments of traditional publishing houses.
"[It's] powerful to know that there is so much I can do on my own," says Andrea Samadi, author of the forthcoming title The Secret for Teens Revealed: How Parents, Teachers, and Teenagers Can Inspire Leadership and Transform Lives.
