2010 was a long time ago. When Whizbuzz Books launched early in that year, Twitter was relatively new and struggling to find its feet. Back then social media book promotion was something new and often involved not much more than on one-off social media blast to promote a blog tour or a book launch. Whizbuzz Books was offering something different. It wanted to help Indie authors in their efforts to get discovered by readers by providing them with long-term social media promotion. Just Publishing Advice, developed in parallel with Whizbuzz Books, and as its name suggests, it delivers free self-publishing advice, tips and how to articles. Just Publishing Advice provides additional value to authors, or to whoever has an interest in writing and publishing. The two sites work hand in hand and have both become well known to authors and readers alike. Our social media follower count is always growing, and we now have more than 600,000 real followers on our various accounts. Our followers include readers, reviewers, bloggers, authors, writers, journalists, librarians, literary agents, publishing houses, literary reviews, libraries and more. What we have built is a community of book lovers and people interested in writing and publishing. The size, loyalty, engagement and value of our audience certainly give us a competitive advantage. Our philosophy remains the same as it was in 2010: • We accept all authors, genres and books. The only limit we have set ourselves is that we do not allow pornographic books; or books promoting hate, racism or violence. • We provide both new and experienced authors, access to long-term book promotion targeting a broad audience. • We offer book promotion at a very affordable and competitive price. In fact, the price has remained the same since 2012. After all these years, all we can say is that we are still open, and open to all.
