One of the hottest new marketing waves to come over the book industry is the free podcast or podio book. It is virtually cost free and is a great way to create a fan base for your writing as they do not have to pay anything until they get a taste of what you are offering. The author to my knowledge to see great success with this technique is Scott Sigler. He has been releasing Podio books since 2005. His first podio book, EarthCore resulted in thousands of downloads, which later translated in to sales on Amazon and other online retailers. He’s continued to release serialized versions of all his books, and in the case of his book, Ancestor, he reached that much coveted top ten spot on Amazon. You can read more about Scott if you click here. He is a great example of a new breed of authors who are taking responsibility for the marketing of their book and finding success by utilizing creative ideas and innovative technology.
