What’s the best way to announce your book via e-mail?

I’ve received quite a few book announcement e-mails lately, including some that were trying to achieve “Amazon best-seller” status. Sadly, most of the messages were not very compelling. More often than not, they were self-congratulatory (“I’ve achieved my dream!”) or self-serving (“If you buy my book on Amazon at 11 a.m. tomorrow morning, my book might become a best-seller!”). Some were brief: “My new book is out. Here’s a link where you can buy it.” Others were rambling. None of them told me why I’d want to buy the book – what was in it for me, the reader.

I don’t want you to repeat the mistakes I keep seeing in my inbox, so I’m sharing seven tips that will help authors with any level of marketing experience write a book announcement e-mail message that isn’t obnoxious, annoying, offensive, or downright sad:

1. Start with the text from your back book cover. It should tell us why we will want to buy your book, right? You might need to massage it to make it more personal, since e-mail is such an informal means of communicating.
2. It’s not about you. It’s about the person you’re writing to. Tell me what your book will do for me. Will it educate, inform, entertain, enlighten? What’s in it for me? How will your book improve my world, help me improve someone else’s world, or help me forget about my world?
3. Include a link where we can purchase the book. Seriously – you’d be surprised at how many messages omit this.

When the groom toasts the gathering at a wedding reception it’s most effectively done as a concluding gesture to his groom speech. As an alternative, the groom toast can be the opening part of the groom speech and be just as effective. The problem with the latter approach, however, is that a wedding toast seems such a natural conclusion to wedding speeches and, without the ending toast, the final remarks, if not very dynamic, may fall flat.

Wedding toasts are a traditional part of a wedding reception and are usually given by the groom and the best man and often by the fathers of the newly married couple. Best men are also usually called on to give best man speeches, which will almost always incorporate a toast. All toasts offered are typically directed towards the couple for whom the reception is being held except for the groom’s, which is usually offered to the attending guests and families.

When the groom toasts the group it’s in appreciation for their kind attendance. Specific remarks are also commonly made regarding the family members, the wedding party and all those responsible for putting together the entire affair.

Bride speeches are not common but occasionally do occur while best man speeches are very common and give an opportunity for someone who is usually close to the newly married couple to give some background regarding their relationship such as how and when they met, etc. Groom speeches, which often end in groom toasts, can sometimes be as short as one minute and should not be longer than five minutes at most.

If you are selling products or services through a website or direct mail sales letter, then your headline is the most important piece of your copy. Nothing else comes close.

The reason for this is that your headline is often the only part of your copy that your prospect reads before making a decision to see what you have to sell.

Ideally, your sales letter is like a steep, greased slide, where your prospect starts from the top, and easily slides through down your entire sales pitch. There’s no hesitation and your prospect is even willing to be late for dinner to finish reading it. If you’re a four-star copywriter, then every part of your sales letter will be taking them further down the slide.

Now if you’re not a four-star copywriter, chances are that your sales letter won’t be a perfect ride from beginning to end. There may be a few bumps along the way. Maybe there will be a plateau. Maybe it will even go uphill.

Now contrary to what you might have been told, it’s not necessarily a deal breaker if your copy has some awkward parts or downright nasty breaks in tone and explanation. The key to making sure that these copy errors don’t give your reader a full stop is having a powerful momentum from the beginning. Just like a roller coaster can move uphill with no motor after a steep drop, your headline can give your reader so much passion and motivation that errors later on in your copy don’t stop him from finishing the sales letter.

A wonderful tactic that some individuals take advantage of is writing and publishing online. Not only will you be able to provide a great value to readers with this tactic, you will also have the opportunity to display your skills and knowledge in a cheap, fast and easy way.

Steps one and two, which is finding a subject and doing proper research, are done. The next step, structure is one of the most important, and we as humans need and like structure.

To structure the information you are writing, you must place it in an order which will individuals will find easy to read, understand and remember.

When you are structuring your article, consider numbered key points. People appreciate steps and points in readings and also odd numbers seem to attract them as well. You can use 3, 5, 7 or ten key points to draw in your readers.

It is a lot easier to communicate ideas when they are broken down in a simpler manner. Readers online may not be looking to read your entire article from start to finish, they will be more willing to skim through it. So make it easier for them to retain all of your information by ditching the paragraphs.

The first sentence of your key point should be an enthralling one, which will be sort of a mini subtitle. The rest of the key point should provide the readers with your explanation of your point.
