Guerilla Marketing!

For those who’ve already finished their book and have started Marketing.

Do you have no budget, but you want to market your book?

Do you want to increase your level of influence and save time in the process?

How can you get influencers to share or retweet your book promo?

All this is possible. I was able to set my Thunderclap and book promo over the last six months with a minimum amount of money spent. 

I was researching a way that works for myself, and also I can replicate later on. Buying traffic could be a plus. But the organic traffic lasts longer and is more active than the paid one.

I was approached by marketers who wanted to "cross-promote" with me. The point was as long as I had this growth I would be attractive but what would happen if my growth decreased? I declined their offer telling them that I might be interested later.

I finally decided to create the Bestsellers’ group was created the group on Nov 25, 2016. I decided to create this group https://www.facebook.com/groups/bestsellersgiveaway/ would target 10,000 members or more. Today, I am at 1,228 members.

I had my Instagram set and ready as well, and I thought I would figure out how to use it later. I has reached more than 16,200 followers on Instagram. My Twitter is at nearly 13,000 active followers. I share the how to achieve this in my upcoming book launch @Howtocrushsocialmediainonly2minutesaday

One day I realized that without a Virtual Assistant (VA) it is hard to manage all this growth. I started to think about a free or easy way to manage all this. I found different free tools, but they were not as useful as I’d expected them. I decided to use this research and exploring as a material towards my next book @howtocrushsocialmedia.

Here is a few of the free tools I have used to increase my social following for free.

1. KRED 

Then, during the conversation with my growth coach, we started exchanging/ discussing tools that could help deal with all these pieces together in no time. The tools he suggested did not match what I needed, and I believed there was another way to do things. I kept digging until I found the KRED. I use KRED daily KRED. It is a time saving tool and it has a bonus of a supportive community. The more I grow my followership, the more I get access to more free features to help me promote within the community. These are the benefits you can take advantage, too (tell them more about how to join and use it). There are KRED money called eve that can be used to promote any book while free or paid.

I had to learn to use it effectively. I started with the assumption that I needed to measure the growth my social media presence was generating and to be able to put a figure out my daily growth. Once I was able to determine the number, I set strategies to implement and measure the impact of learning from it and changing. The Tool KRED is useful to get influencers promote your book and vice versa. There is no reciprocity needed. That mean anyone can promote your book without any obligation on your end to promote their’s. There is no budget needed unless you want to invest your money. I do not pay my promo.

Here is attached my Thunderclap campaign I posted inside of KRED I share my Dashboard.

I also automate my social media posts for Twitter, FB... for free from KRED. 

There is also an active, 2 million-strong community dedicated to helping each other. It is very interactive and fun.

    2. KLOUT

KlOUTt is useful for syndication, but it is more for fashion and nonbusiness related, not as effective as the KRED. The magazines use it before they decide who to interview. But it is not my favorite tool

The more I give, the more I get! I finally get to attract my tribe. Now on FB when I share someone's book I get the ripple effect as well. The number of groups I can post in every single time increases with the level of influence. I cannot tell how but I am exploring it... I was 686 on the KRED level when I first started to use it, and now I am at 769 seeing below. Create your account and check your level. Starting from X and work on to increase your influence. The higher you get the better for
