As an author, you know that a lot of effort goes into your book’s cover – its title, the

1. Replace your book’s cover image with the BookBuzzr widget
For starters, you can – and must – replace your book’s cover image with the widget
wherever your book appears. This would include:
* Your website
* Your blog
* Your profile on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace
2. Market your book in your email signature

To share your widget on most social networks, all you need to do is to go to your widget,
click on the “Share” button and click on the appropriate social network. Then follow
along to the simple prompts that come up and you should be able to set up your widget on
your Facebook profile, MySpace page and more.

Go to your BookBuzzr widget. Click on the “Share” button. There you will see a line of
code with the text “Embed code” beside it. Click on the “Copy” button. Then paste this
code into the HTML area where your book-cover image usually appears on your author
website. Note that the widget is slightly larger than a book-cover image and so you may
need to re-arrange your HTML page layout to accommodate this.

Adding the widget to your blog is easy. Click on the “Share” button. There you will see a
line of code with the text “Embed code” beside it. Click on the “Copy” button. Then
paste this code into the HTML area where your book-cover image usually appears on
your blog. Please note that this option does not work for blogs running on Wordpress. It
works perfectly well for authors with Blogger accounts.

Again, this is very easy to do. You or fans of your book can share your book-extract on
any bookmarking site by clicking on the “Share” button. Then click on the Bookmark
link inside the share feature. Then choose the social bookmarking site and share the link.
In the case of Linkedin you will need to be part of a specific group before you can share
the book.
