How book authors & publishers can use social media to get 500 early readers?
Watch Mo Gawdat, Chief Business Officer at Google X and the author of "Solve for Happy" book, talking about his book marketing activities at the speech event, Talks at Google, in California, USA.
Mo Gawdat says:
"One of the differences between Solve for Happy book and other happiness books is, you know, it is truly a book for reflections.
So you read, you think about it, you go like what did he just say?
I did not believe that all my life, and then you read it again.
I do not know if you recall we spoke about the concept of early readers, so I wrote this book like a Googler world, you know how we use the Google Docs to review proposals or client presentations or whatever together.
So I did that actually when I got to version 2 of Solve for Happy book.
I posted it online, I put a message on social media and got 500 early readers people who I do not even know, who basically went into the book and edited it themselves.
They would go like Mo Gawdat I did not like this sentence may be you should make it this way, you know here is a bit of research that proves what you are talking about, or a bit of research that disproves what you are talking about.
They would argue between them, and you know which was an incredible experience.
So, I got tens of thousands of comments that made version 3 of the Solve for Happy book really almost written by the readers if you want"
