The buzzCard is your home page
Before we describe all the great features found in your Destination BuzzPage, we’d like to tell you about just one of the powerful tools, the buzzCard – for you and your fans to spread the buzz about your latest book release. Getting your career to its next level requires not only your literary talent, but awareness of your work. The buzzCard will accelerate the buzz and popularity of your work, by including your fans in your effort to get the word out.
Much like a baseball card, or a sports trading card, the buzzCard is the web equivalent.
Here’s the idea – when you tell people about your BuzzPage, its web address, they can immediately pull it up on their mobile device – their phone. Your buzzCard fills up the screen nicely with your picture, your latest book release, a book summary, and a video interview. The call to action on this card is for the person viewing it to share it on their social network(s).
.
When your followers share your buzzCard, it travels to their entire network of contacts. So this is more than your information going to just your own contacts, it now goes out to your follower’s network of contacts. And its more than just a simple shout out to your book, it’s a card packaged up with your best introduction: Your picture, an introduction to to you and your book, if you have a video interview, we’ll include that in your introduction. If someone in your follower’s network of contacts sees your buzzCard and likes what they see, they can instantly share it on their own network as well.
