Seven Deadly Publicity Mistakes Plus BONUS MISTAKE! By Annie Jennings PR

BELLE MEAD, NJ, January 28, 2011 (Press-News.org) Old Website: Times have changed and so has the look and feel of websites. The older sites are a lot more cluttered and confusing as authors have added more and more to their sites over time, making them cramped and hard to navigate. It's okay. It's easy to get a streamlined new design that showcases your material with intelligent design.

No Conversion Strategy: When a visitor comes to your website what would you like them to do? Hire you? Buy your book? Or become a member of your community? Is the path to each desired outcome absolutely clear to the visitor? Most likely, not really. Don't worry, it's not totally your fault, as many sites grew without a clear-cut strategy. As authors and experts added more assets to their platform, such as additional books, audio or video, new ways to build community, the conversion strategy lines may have become blurred so now when a visitor comes they just get confused or it's just one big mess. What happens when a visitor does NOT know what to do because there is so much to do? Nothing.

No Inbound Marketing: How do your website visitors find you? It's critical to step in front of your target client more than once and be in the right place at the right time when your target client decides to put the pedal to the metal. Stepping in front, staying visible and relevant is showing up in all the right places. It means being everywhere at all times.

No Search Engine Ranking On Keywords: Most authors and experts usually have a core business model that earns them the big bucks such as consulting or providing other services. Their book is usually an "asset", that is, a marketing tool that showcases their wisdom, knowledge, credentials and experience. So ranking on the keywords or phrases that your target market is likely to use to find your company online is absolutely critical. Yes, you can buy advertising, no problem, but that is loaded with competitors making it tough for the client to decide which one to click, plus they know it's just advertising so they take the results less seriously. However, when Google decides that you are the authority by returning your website as a search engine result, that's when you are in business. BINGO!

No Social Authority: Yes, it's something new and everybody needs it to get their competitive edge. Did you ever say to yourself, how is a tweet going to land me a new client? Well, you would be surprised how important that tweet and your overall social media image has become. To get social authority, you'll need to be established on Twitter and Facebook with a business/book page for a bit of time and be active as well. Yes, the number of followers or likes matters. The more, the merrier. Just build consistently over time in a strategy to optimize your social authority. Annie's got a social authority building program to help you do just that! When you talk; do people listen?

Authors Don't Know That Over 1 Million Books Were Published In 2009: That's correct. If you are an author, you are literally one in a million. According to industry stats, book publishing is at an all time high with the print on demand sector skyrocketing. In 2009, Bowker reports that over 765,000 books published were non-traditional (includes print on demand), up from just 22,000 in 2006. This explosive growth has put tremendous pressure on the book sales along with the recession. A book does not just sell on its own. A book needs a marketing strategy now to compete with the sheer numbers.

No Media Assets: What's a media asset? It's YOU appearing on a major radio show or TV show as the guest or expert. It's YOU being the quoted expert in a major media news outlet or in a national magazine. Yes, credibility matters a lot. Being seen and heard as the expert in the big time media is a tremendous asset for you that can land new clients and create major new opportunities for you.

BONUS MISTAKES: No Blog: It's a biggie mistake. Not having a blog puts you at a significant disadvantage in many ways. Get yourself a blog on your site and be sure to post on a regular basis. Annie has an Internet domination team that can help you set up your new blog (with all of the latest bells and whistles!)
