• • • • • Look, there’s just no point in denying: got hard. Bloody freaking hard. Not that it was ever easy, but you have to admit: The days of people that caught their eye are long gone. Today, buyers have too much choice, too many opportunities, and are too freaked out by all the talk about online privacy to hand over their emails to anyone who asks. But does that mean you can’t generate leads anymore? No, of course not! However, just putting an eBook out there and hoping for the best probably won’t get you any meaningful results. These days you have to promote the heck out of your lead magnet and use multi-channel approach to drive potential traffic to it. ![]() And then, do even more work to convince them to sign up. That’s what I’m going to talk to you about in this post. I’ll show you how to market and promote an eBook to generate leads using our recent eBook as an example and tell you what we’ve learned in the process. If you don’t have an eBook for your marketing, you can learn. So, let’s begin. About Our Campaign I’m sure ( hope?) you’ve noticed me writing a bit about social proof recently. I wrote a massive at the end of last year (and then, updated it this month with some new sections) and. And earlier last year I wrote about. We used all this content to promote an eBook –. Our goal was, of course, to generate leads. Do you have an ebook that needs exposure? Want tips to promote your ebooks via social media? Social media can help you build visibility and generate leads with ebooks. More How To Advertise Your Ebook videos. ![]() But we also wanted to test the best ways to market an eBook. And here’s what we’ve found. You Simply Have to Create a Killer Landing Page for the eBook This step is actually super important. Although some of your blog visitors might prefer to download the eBook directly from the site ( more on this shortly), not launching a separate landing page for the lead magnet will limit your promotion opportunities. After all, you can’t run ads to leads to a blog post (well, technically you can, but I doubt it would generate any meaningful results). Nor you can position an eBook on its own in Google. ![]() But a landing page allows you to use various channels to attract and convert highly relevant visitors, ones already looking for the information from the eBook and ready to sign up. As Ryan Lynch from Hubspot put in: Landing pages serve the dual purpose of capturing leads and warming up potential customers. Both of these are essential stepping-stones before moving a customer further down your sales funnel. At minimum: • Headline communicating your USP. ![]() • Image that gives the page a context. • List of benefits of your offering. • Lead capture form. We’ve talked about landing pages a lot here on AdEspresso already. To find out more about building an ideal landing page for your eBook, check out our massive, or tips for. And here’s an example of a lead generation landing page from Hubspot: To promote our eBook we launched a simple landing page: How did the page perform for us? 2.6% of people who saw a link to it on our site, clicked to the landing page. ![]() The landing page converted at 51.73% ( submissions). However, many of these people are already on our various lists. The page generated 13.28% in new contacts signups. Promote Your eBook from Within the Blog Too This is the absolute minimum. Your readers are lazy. Not everyone will want to go to a landing page to download an eBook. Therefore, put up a signup box all over your blog to allow readers grab the eBook without having to stop reading your content. Your bottom-of-the-post CTA leads the readers to take action straight after they finished reading the content. And by including the signup form on the CTA, you reduce the amount of work they need to do to download your eBook. How did the box perform for us? First things first, we didn’t launch the signup box right away. Instead, we had a call to action that would take readers to the landing page. Therefore, our results here don’t include the people who have clicked to the landing page before we put up the box. How Did It Do? The average conversion of the box was way lower than of the landing page. Between 3 posts we had it on, the average conversion was just.58%. So while that not might sound like much, this was at the very end of the posts about social proof marketing. So I still think that putting up a direct signup box is worth it. Although it’s something you may have to test for yourself. Promote the Hell of the eBook with Facebook Ads Facebook ads are a great way to promote your eBook to a very specific audience. And no, I’m not saying that because of what AdEspresso is. It’s a fact: Facebook Ads allow you to target people almost guaranteed to be interested in your eBook’s topic. You can use or audiences to find highly targeted traffic and send them back to your eBook. You could, for example, insert a Facebook Pixel tracking code and target people who have visited blog posts relevant to your eBook (more on this in a second) or use a list of current customers to find people similar to them. The options are many. The point is, Facebook Ads allow you to reach a highly targeted audience and attract them to your eBook. For this campaign, we launched a single ad, promoting a blog post that linked to the eBook’s landing page (at the time. Note the post features the signup box). We have a full post just dedicated to. You Must Tell Your Email Subscribers About the eBook This is where our strategy fell flat on its face. You see, here’s the deal: Your eBook shouldn’t be just for new customers only. In fact, the eBook could help strengthen your relationships with existing clients, establish your authority status, help them, and increase their trust in you. But /*cough*/ you see we never emailed our list about it. I know, in hindsight, I know it was stupid not to do it. Don’t repeat that mistake. The moment your eBook goes live, tell your existing audience about it. Support Your eBook with Blog Posts I’ll tell you, this is by far my favorite strategy of them all. Granted, it requires fair bit of planning and preparation that you should do even before the eBook goes live. But it can deliver kick a** results over time. Its premise is simple: You need to develop a secondary, supporting content for the eBook. These posts should be relevant to its topic to attract highly targeted visitors. Optimize those posts for keywords related to the topic of the eBook and then promote the lead magnet with a bottom-of-the-post CTA or a popup. As a result, you should have a number of content pieces, ranking in Google for keywords people searching for the topic of the eBook would use, driving them to the site and prompting them to grab the lead magnet. Genius, isn’t it? Now, I don’t have a proof for that. But that’s what I think companies like do to promote their eBooks. They seem to start with the lead magnet, then develop a series of complimentary blog posts they use to promote the eBook. Here’s our Google Analytics stats: And second, although much more mild, “doh!” momentWe didn’t differentiate which eBook was downloaded on the blog posts. So although there’s a 1% conversion rate, it could be for any of our ebooks. And while we could assume it was for the Social Proof book, you know what they say about people who make assumptions So there you have it The 5 must-do strategies for promoting a marketing eBook. These are the absolute minimum we think you should do to market an eBook. But hey Pawel, honestly, is there anything else you guys should have done? I’ve already mentioned that we should have emailed our newsletter subscribers about the eBook. That was a major oversight on our part. We also should have advertised the eBook’s landing page with Facebook. We’ve only ran ads to promote the massive guide to social proof marketing (which in turn promoted the eBook). We also could have created a to promote the eBook directly. And finally, we should have taken up our own advice and split test the landing page to find the best converting option. Next time hopefully. Do you know the most powerful way to market your book? Word of mouth recommendation.

The store owners may not want to purchase your books outright, but may display and sell them in their store for a cut of the profits.

Concentrate on the first three steps so you can frame your marketing strategy moving forward, then add tasks and tactics as you have the time and attention to do so.

Take Action For those of you who have already begun your book marketing and promotion, what strategies have you received the most return on? What tactics were a complete flop? Any advice you would care to share with those writers who are just beginning their journey? And for those of you just starting out, what part of the promotional process are you finding the most difficult? Please share in the comments below. This is a coincidence! I was just on your site today looking at your post on children’s book templates (I’m considering the ‘Story’ template). You’ve got both a discount and urgency in there; nice touch! ? And yes, I am working on getting video up on my site. I have two posts currently that include video-so I’ve dipped my toe in a little-but I really need to carve out some time to ‘batch produce’ some more. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, Joel! I appreciate the kind words and your support. A round of guest posting is next on my to-do list, so please expect a gentle tap on your email door real soon! Here’s my experience with the list, going backwards: #47 promoting through fiverr is interesting. I didn’t think of paying someone to do a blog post. #42 create urgency I’ve tried with my ESL book. I made some coupons on Smashwords and put the codes on the book’s page on my ESL website, as well as in a blog post on the site. They were valid for 2 weeks, no bites. #37 use Amazon Affiliates. I gave this a try, and was making a nice draft blog post when the email came in saying my site was not what they wanted. Perhaps it was a lack of visitors, or perhaps the heavy influence of Smashwords. #33 update email signature. I’ve tried this one, but I’m not sure there’s any way to measure the results. #29 I promote books in the back of my book all the time. #28 I’ve written 2 series, so I have that going for me. #27 I thoroughly enjoy trying to figure out the beast that is Amazon. #19 create a press release. I did this with my history book. I sent it out to all the leading newspapers of the state and then figured out it had a typo. I felt real silly. Thank you for sharing your experiences, Greg! I love hearing what other authors are doing to promote their work. As for the Amazon Affiliate Program, check out their. It does mention a few states that are ineligible to participate in the program, so perhaps that was the problem. If not, it also says you can reapply at anytime. Who is your ideal reader, Greg? Make sure your marketing and promotional efforts are designed for them. Find out where they are and what they’re looking for–then be there and provide it. Keep at it, Greg! You’ll get there! ? • Magda says. I released my first YA novel in a series last week. I am already on top of some of the ideas listed. I actually am using a successful self-published author’s blog as a guideline for what I should have on my blog to use it as a website for my books. That is how I found out about the Amazon Associates Program, but I don’t think I am ready for that because I am not able to give them some of the information they ask for on the sign-up page. Do you have any advice on when I should sign-up for the Associates Program? My blog is not officially “live” yet. Thank you for creating this valuable information. I can’t wait to start trying some of the ideas listed. Congrats on the release of your YA novel, Sarah! That’s so exciting! And it sounds like you’re off to a good start with your marketing. One suggestion would be to use not just one successful, self-pub author’s blog for a guideline, but several. Like 10 to 15. That way you’ll get a better feel for the key elements that work, and more inspiration for helping your blog standout. (Here’s a post that might also help:. Don’t worry too much about the Amazon associates program; it’s a bonus, not a necessity. Your is a bigger deal. Good luck on your book and your series, Sarah! • Dotti says. Thanks Kim for yet, another informative article on author platform building! It’s jam packed with actionable tips and ideas to sky rocket as an indie author. My only thing is finding the time, lol. I feel like taking your Fiverr suggestion further with getting pros from there to do more marketing tasks for my author brand. There’s only so many hours in the day and one can easily lose their energetic spark to write creatively if a lion’s share of the day is spent towards marketing. Yes, I know that it is a necessary evil (creative writing & marketing that creative writing), I just wish I could hire a little team to execute so many of the tasks that you suggest (press releases, pinning, etc.). Whew, I am tired just thinking about it ? I am a huge fan of life coaches, and their always espousing the tenets of outsourcing and building a team. I believe that indie authors are going to need to truly adopt such a mentality for their brand to really fly off into another stratosphere What do you think about the idea of, INDIE AUTHOR: CEO of TEAM AUTHOR GREATNESS? You are so welcome, CJ! And I am totally with you on the mini task force that’s required to take advantage of all the opportunities that are available to writers today. I recently watched ‘Despicable Me 2 with my boys, and it just hit me: minions! That’s what we need! ? But until I can figure out how to make some, my current strategy is to just try and prioritize. It’s easy to get distracted by all the things we can do to build our platform and promote our work, but the key is to figure out what we should do; and it’s not the same for every author, or even every book. When you map out your marketing plan, incorporate those promotional elements that (based on your research) you feel will deliver the most impact. Don’t try to include every tactic, just the ones that will give you the best ROI. Tweak and refine your strategies, toss what isn’t working and add new tactics when you’re ready. If you have the opportunity (and the cash reserves) to outsource, choose things that don’t require your authorpreneurial vision. That is, those things that are repetitive, technical or require skills you don’t possess. Just keep in mind that it’s always your reputation and brand on the line. Again (broken record here), this is NOT going to happen overnight. That’s why it’s so important to start your platform building and marketing efforts as soon as you can, so that you don’t feel the pressure of trying to set everything in motion after you’ve released your book. Thanks for stopping by, CJ! An author friend sent this through to me. I’m so glad she did! My book is currently a work in progress – recounting tales of my life at a game lodge in Africa. What I found has worked quite well is joining various FB groups, not mentioning the book straight away, but contributing to posts and comments, posting photographs of wildlife and so on, and then mentioning the book when a ‘following’ has been established. I have achieved more interest with this approach than with things like Twitter – building a follower base there is not so easy. Your 71 Ways has been an eye-opener for me – thanks for the time and trouble you put into it to helps us struggling authors who often feel totally alone and lost, knowing they’ve produced something readable, but having no idea how to tell the world. I will be implementing a large number of your ideas. Thanks Again. Thank your author friend for me too, Brian! I know exactly how you feel, and it’s why I developed this site. There is no reason why this information should be so hard to come by for writers, so I’m glad authors are sharing it with each other. Not every item on the list will work for every author or book, but it should give you a lot to work with. Hopefully it will spark even more creative ideas that can be shared. Good luck with your book, Brian! Tales of your experiences at a game lodge in Africa sounds very intriguing! Authorhouse is what’s known as a ‘vanity or subsidy press’, Sally. You pay a fee to have your book published and usually get little help with distribution, book marketing or publicity. Traditional publishers pay you, not the other way around, so what you are actually doing is self-publishing your book. You’ll need to do some research, so here’s a few resources to get you started: and As far as getting a platform in place to help get the word out about your book, here’s what I recommend: 1) Don’t panic! ? Building a platform takes time, and it’s impossible to do everything all at once. Sit down and make a plan as to what you would like to do prior to the launch of your book, during the launch, and after. Prioritize and keep it simple – it’s better to do a few things well, then to scatter your resources and have nothing really make an impact. 2) Set up your online home base:, and start making connections on 1 to 2 social media platforms. 3): who is your book for? What are their interests and where can they be found, online and off? Sound like a lot of work? You are now an authorpreneur, and in order to get your book into the hands of your readers, you need to get a handle on the business side of writing. But it can be done! It just requires a whole lot more work and learning than most of us writers anticipate. ? Good luck! • Tania Warrents says. ‘Tis true – writing is only half the battle! ? I think self-publishing is a fantastic opportunity for writers, but you have to do your homework and make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. Independent publishing is a business, so you need to approach it as such. It’s not easier, simpler or cheaper, but it is a very viable and rewarding opportunity for those willing to put in the effort. Joanna Penn () is an excellent example of a ‘hybrid’ author making both traditional and self-publishing work for her. • Evelyn Funda says. Excellent advice! I do have a question, though: My novel is releasing in June, 2014 – and I’m having my website overhauled right now. I’ve just received the cover copy for the book and the web designer wants to feature it on the site. It’s too early for a “pre-order” button, and I worry it’s too early to post the cover. I’m thinking of your point about creating urgency. Will people tire of seeing my cover and not being able to even pre-order? Or will it help build interest. Is it ever too early to promote? That’s a great question Rebecca, and my advice would be: it’s never too early. ? What’s important though is that you use the cover release strategically and build as much momentum as you can before your book launch. Talk to your web designer (and publisher) about ways that you can tantalize or peak the interest of your readers. For example, maybe you can use portions of the cover in your graphics, so people don’t get to see the whole thing until before your book launch. Or maybe you can incorporate your cover into a banner graphic that adds to the mood of the cover/book theme, with text that states ‘coming June, 2014’. Do a little brainstorming to see how you can first build up the release of the cover, then use that momentum to keep the excitement high for your book launch. Once you have your cover ‘out’, include it in all of your promotions and advertising, including offline marketing like book marks and postcards. Get to know local booksellers and librarians, so that you have a relationship (or at least a familiarity) with them prior to your publication date. Remember, your site might attract 30% – 50% new visitors each day, each experiencing your cover and your message for the first time. And even your ‘regulars’ can use a consistent reminder of your pending launch. ? Good luck, Rebecca! Hope this helps! Dear Madam/Sir., I have tried to sell and promote my two books via “amazon” and no one ordered my books. In Israel I have received very positive critic. Please see short synopsis on the books: Is it possible to sell the books with your help? The first book is a bilingual; Hebrew and English, Historical roman, based on warrior diary, written during the six day war. The second book is a botanical, bilingual book, Hard cover with 250 colored pictures, describes all eucalyptus species (171), growing in Israel. It is a field guide required by botanists, ecologists, beekeepers and foresters. I will appreciate your prompt answer. Sincerely yours. Excellent list, Kimberley. A real find for me today. I have co-authored /edited several history books produced by my publishing company and recently released my first work of fiction, a novel about a time travelling, slave owning cotton plantation owner. I am working on a marketing strategy and was happy to find your article within a few minutes of my in-line research. I plan to read all the comments too. It’s so true that marketing can be as much work as writing a book. How fortunate that the Internet was invented to allow authors who’ve chosen to self-publish such a powerful tool. Looking forward to implementing as many of your tips as possible into my strategy! • Kimberley Grabas says.

Because it is a website it works on every browser. You can start using it by visiting. Readers can 'download' Kindle ebooks they've purchased and start reading instantly. The apps and the website are best for those who have multiple computers or laptops or who need access to books in various locations (like at work and at home).

See also: • • When we add ease of use and simplicity, Google Play Books may the a first choice for anyone who gets interested in ebooks. Obviously, there are enough free books in Google Play, and in this post you’ll find tips and tricks to effectively browse for them. However, Google Play Books is a pretty closed ecosystem, very much relying on Google’s scan book project. Most of the free books here are the ones that entered public domain. What’s more, most of these free public domain titles are available only as scanned pages pdf files. That’s why this list will be the opportunity to find other sources of free ebooks compatible with Google Play, including the ones from contemporary authors. Before the list, let me share some usage tips: 1. To use Google Play Books you have to live in a country where the service officially launched. Currently there are 26 countries. You can access Google Play Books by going. To add own books, in the left panel click on Uploads, and then on a blue Upload files button. 4. You can upload up to 1,000 own books and documents. You can add unlimited number of publications found on Google Play Books. Your own books should be uploaded either in pdf or epub format, without DRM (). Once the books appear in your personal library on Google Play, you will be able to access not only from any computer (via a web browser), but also a tablet or smartphone (via or Google Play Books applications). The books will be synced across all devices: latest-read locations, notes, and bookmarks. My general advice is that, where possible, try to choose epub file instead of pdf. Epub file is much more flexible. It allows users to adjust several settings. You can change font size, typeface, or you can switch to night mode (white letters on black background). Therefore, reading epub books on smaller screens is much more pleasant than fixed-layout pdf documents. If you find a free book on Google Play, and that book is only available in pdf file with scanned pages, try to explore other public domain sites in the list below. You may find the same title in the epub format. Google Nexus cases Updated list of 2014 tablet covers and sleeves. For iPad, Amazon Fire, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Google Nexus & other tablets. 9 sites with free ebooks for Google Play 1. Google Play Books I like Google Play because it’s simple. Opposite to Amazon, where on a single page with book details, there are over 200 outgoing links (sic!) Google Play lets you find books in a much smoother and calmer way. Currently there are over 4 million books on Google Play. Compared to Kindle Store, where there are no more than 2.5 million titles, it seems to be a lot, but don’t get too excited. Google Play Books offers much less contemporary ebook publications than Amazon, that’s for sure. The 4 million books in Google’s ebookstore are mostly coming from Google’s own project devoted to scan print books (now it’s called Google Books, previously Google Book Search). So far Google Books scanned and stored over 30 million print publications. Obviously, some of them were pulled to Google Play Books. These publications entered public domain. That means they can be offered in a digital format for free. I’ve described how to find free books on Google Play. In general, try to use search box extensively. For any search performed, no matter how specific it is, you’ll have the option to filter books to display only free ones (see screenshot below). The good thing is that by default Google displays new titles. Books from Google scan project will appear while you scroll down. Usually, if there is no book cover, but only a title page, such a book is only available as scanned pdf. A major disadvantage of Google Play Books is a lack of options to search for foreign-language books. And that’s where the other sites can be extremely useful. Smashwords Smashwords is one of the most popular places to find ebooks from independent authors and publishers. Books are available in several languages, all are DRM-free, and many authors make their publications available for free. The site distributes books to a few major ebookstores, but unfortunately Google Play Books is not among them. In other words, if you are looking for newly written titles in popular categories, you’ll most likely find them on Smashwords. To quickly get to the list of free ebooks, simply use the combination of the three top filter bars. For instance, here is the link to:. Currently there are about 25,000 free ebooks on Smashwords. You can first pick a category, and then select Free tab to get a list of free titles in your favorite genre. For instance, there are 2,100 science-fiction books that are free on Smashwords. Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg is the top place to download free classics. Google Play Books offers free classics, too, but the titles from PG are “handmade”. They are very well edited and proofread. What’s more, you can. Currently there are 42,000 public domain books in the catalog. There are two kinds of epub files: with or without images. The one with images takes much more disc space – and that also means it will take longer to download it from the library to your Google Books application. PG offers also a very convenient way to keep up with newly added books – you can subscribe to an. You can also get notified of new entries. Google Play Books users will definitely love that any book from Project Gutenberg can be added in one click to Google Drive. Internet Archive The Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library with the mission of “universal access to all knowledge.” The website is a huge digital library of text, audio and video files. It offers over 3.8 mln ebooks and texts. Sub-collections include American Libraries, Canadian Libraries, books from Project Gutenberg, titles from the Million Books Project, and books for children. When you find the interesting book, you’ll see in the left panel the list of available formats. In most cases epub will be included. Open Library Open Library is another initiative of the Internet Archive. The site positions itself as “the world’s classic literature at your fingertips”. There are over 1,000,000 free ebook titles available. The biggest benefit of Open Library is that it’s driven by a strong community. It’s like Wikipedia for ebooks. If the book had more than one edition, you’ll see them listed on Open Library. For instance, Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, first published in 1876, have 306 editions altogether and most of them have separate download directories. Feedbooks On Feedbooks you can find both public domain ( Public Domain section) and free contemporary books ( Original Books section), both fiction and non-fiction. As the site is based in France, there are a lot of titles in French, as well as in other languages, not only in English. The site offers RSS feeds of specific categories, so you can subscribe to them and get new books the moment they are added to offer. Goodreads The largest book discovery site, Goodreads, offers also books in epub format. The catalog is not huge, there are only 2,500 titles listed here, but they are very interesting ones. For instance you can download Harry Potter: The Prequel by J.K. Rowling, a short story set about three years before the birth of Harry Potter. It recounts an adventure experienced by Sirius Black and James Potter. The books are available in epub, pdf and txt format. ManyBooks The site offers 29,000 free ebooks.

I suppose you just have to make notes or comments on some topics that are referred in that book. I've never read that book but I suppose one can annotate if there's a line 'Symbolism is a key element in literature. It suggests to the readers an obscure meaning that may reveal ideas or important issues to the author.' Underline or Highlight that and add Ie.

Foster’s classic guide—a lively and entertaining introduction to literature and literary basics, including. ![]() OR some another book you've read that included that piece of information. I googled it and I found this. You don't necessarily have to do what KidNovelist said. There isn't any outside 'research' involved in annotating. All you really need to to is, as you read through the book, underline words/phrases/passages that strike you as important. If what you read reminds you of something (from earlier in the book or otherwise), write that down too. Since 'How to Read Literature.' Is non-fiction, this doesn't really apply, but generally you want to make note of themes etc. The basic idea behind annotating is making it easy for you to go back later and easily find important parts or quotes/themes you might want to use in an essay. There's no formal way to do it, at least that I know of. Your teacher wants you to annotate while reading a book probably discussing, among other things, how to annotate? Anyways, in this text, there will presumably be more important sections/lines than others (think quotable quotes that, alltogether, gives an ignorant a good idea of what the book is about). At these moments, you can star, highlight, take notes, bend the corner, etc. What I do for fiction and nonfiction is underline kinda important stuff. I star what I think is important stuff (generally once every couple pages, with occasional high frequency starring in like hugely important sections). If a page has multiple stars, or if the star is uber important, I'll consider bending the page corner. Generally this happens every 15-20 pages or so. If I plan on reading a text twice, I'll reserve the second time for annotations, as that way I will not only have a better understanding of the general text (and thus what is more important) by my second read, but I will recognize finer details and also my first read will be cleanlier due to a lack of annotations. Students are usually given a purpose for annotations. So, you might annotate for: - characterization - symbols - motifs - themes - language (as in how the writer uses language) - foreshadowing - structure In the case of a non-fiction book that is not a memoir, you might try annotating for themes. Some teachers also look to see whether you've annotated vocabulary that you aren't likely to know, though sometimes they do that via a quiz. You might also try sending the teacher a quick note by email to ask for what you should be annotating in the case of this particular book. In fiction, annotating is when you make note of symbolism, alliteration, synecdoche, and other rhetorical devices in the text. The purpose of this is generally so you can make specific references during a formal critical discussion. Same goes for written rhetorical argument; you make note of the 'tools' the author uses to prove his/her point. (This can be done in a number of ways--senior year I devised a complicated code system that involved ripping certain pages and writing letters in the corners of pages.) But I'm not sure how you'd annotate a book that's neither fiction nor rhetoric. : To jump in regarding your use of ellipses, I can't think of any semi-reputable nonfiction text where rhetoric isn't considered (at the least subliminally). Like a book solely containing compiled google-image pictures? On first glance, one may think that the author of this uses no rhetorical tools. But, is there a theme (intentional or not) behind the pictures. Does the author have a bias towards selection? What is the author trying to accomplish overall with these specific pictures? Even if the pictures are selected at random, why does the author want this to be so? Everything is an argument (which is also the name of the 'textbook' for my AP language class). Even here, I'm using rhetorical questions, a textual reference and AP class reference for ethos, and a logos appeal (hopefully) with my example. There is also probably some finer rhetoric I use that I'm not getting. I could be wrong here. But this 'range of argument types' idea is what I was taught a couple years back (now I'm debasing my ethos so I don't sound like a know-it-all; a surprisingly common method in some nonfiction stuff I've read). And why you would use a code for annotating? Annotating is complex and annoying enough already:(. |
