Online radio programs are very common, and authors frequently get on them for free or at low cost to advertise their book, but usually with little success. This is often because they are not performed by a professional radio host and/or the station has a very limited audience. So we have created a program that solves both of these problems.
"The Authors Show" is not a "show" in the traditional sense of the word, it is a professional book marketing audio & video program offering participants various major benefits that authors serious about marketing their work need to consider, especially inasmuch as all these benefits have long lasting effects. "The Authors Show" is also one of the most popular Internet radio shows in existence today, enjoying extremely high traffic and listenership. Google ranks "The Authors Show" #1 out of 950 million pages with keywords "Author" and "Radio."
But to really give you the largest audience possible, we have added a professional press release to advertise your appearance on the show! This release will go out in many formats to countless online and offline places to get the word out about your upcoming appearance to drive as many listeners to your show as possible.

One month promotion in our Featured Book rotator
 We will add your book cover to the Featured Book rotator for one month.
Our Featured Book rotator is at the top left of every page on our site and rotates randomly through all our Featured Books. When a book cover is clicked it will take the visitor to the book's Readers' Favorite review page.
It is positioned to attract the attention of our thousands of weekly visitors, many of whom are agents, publishers and publicists who are here viewing reviews we have done for their authors or submitting requests for new reviews. We are also visited by bloggers and journalists who have read our press releases and are visiting to see our award-winning books, as well as authors and people just looking for a good book to read.
We do not sell this advertising space; we provide it to our authors as a perk for purchasing any of our Author Services to help them promote their book. By not selling the space we keep the number of images down, which provides those in the rotator more screen time.

"Well done! During the airing of my interview and afterwards I had people calling me and going to my website from all over the world. In the last few months I have done a tremendous amount of national radio shows, but I can honestly say that my interview on The Authors Show with Don was one of the most easy to do, effective, and relaxed.
Recently I have even been interviewed on Fox Business News. I am very fortunate to have been on The Authors Show." |
