Summary

The goal of this book is to introduce you to information and instruction on the use of a variety of free apps that can be used in book promotion routines. The book is divided into four chapters that group the technology - visuals, videos, audio, and resources - to help find books and tools to use in your reading program. Every recommended app is available to use for free. Each app mentioned gives the user information as to what device it works on. Chapter 1 introduces programs and apps that can be used to create visual book promotion projects. These can be used in flyers, on web pages, or printed promotional materials. Chapter 2 focuses on video production. These apps can be used on web pages or any promotion involving video. Chapter 3 provides information on audio promotions. From podcasts to radio advertisements, audio is a great choice for book promotion. Chapter 4 includes many resources that can be used to develop your book promotion. From literary quotes, to YouTube channels, to book widgets, there are many ideas for you to use.--from the Introduction
