Recently one of the top online article submission websites has considered listing books by the authors who post their articles online as an added bonus to the these top online expert writers. Should Online Article Submission Websites list these writers and authors Previous Books? Well it seems to be a good idea and many authors who have written books have considered this.
But how many books should such a website list? The number three was proposed? But what if the author has 6 books or ten even? What if the books are not real books with ISBN numbers, but rather are eBooks online? Should these also be listed? Should there be active links to Amazon.com in case a reader wishes to buy a book?
These are all good points indeed; maybe three at the top and three at the bottom of the page? That is six. You know once someone goes to Amazon is says; "See all the Books by this Author" they can view them all there too. I like the idea of being able to promote an authors books in the online article byline, without getting too tricky, because that means perhaps less article captures from some websites and ezines. Also a point or rather a thought how about one book and a click; see all the books by this author; takes you to a new page on this site. Then each book listed there.
Real Books with links to Amazon.com with ISBNs and also e-Books on writer's websites or LuLu.com or where ever else they maybe with a place for a brief synopsis. The online article submission site could add pages this way and all the synopsis paragraphs will be "Key Word Rich" for ads from the online article submission site’s click ads relationships. Additionally if each author had three to five books per page, the reader could read about them all and keep going. Just hope you do not get another Issac Asimov here; he wrote 200 Books. WOW. Now that guy could write. Consider all this in 2006.
