I fully expect that <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>#AmazonCart<\/strong><\/span> will be readily accepted and used by impulse buyers. The purchase can be made instantly without switching to Amazon, entering a user name and password, searching for the item and adding to the cart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instead of liking the product and thinking about buying when done on Twitter, the potential book buyer simply adds the item to the shopping cart<\/strong> and continues reading and sending tweets. This makes it even easier to buy books and other goods while online and is expressed well by its marketing slogan, \u201cAdd it Now. Buy it Later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Twitter is not getting any revenue for adding this feature<\/strong> but is adding the tool as a forerunner of its expected venture into ecommerce in the near future. And the tool does help keep users on the Twitter site longer if they use it for shopping as well. \u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>#AmazonCart <\/strong><\/span>will most likely increase revenue for Amazon one would hope. The significance is that authors who already promote on Twitter will now want to make sure to add the Amazon URL to all Tweets. That\u2019ll make it much easier to get closer to actual book buyers who see your Tweets and get inspired to buy. It\u2019s really at the perfect inflection point of inspiration and decision so start doing it today!<\/p>\n<p><strong>It would be good to experiment now with<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>#AmazonCart <\/strong><\/span>to become familiar with it as a sales tool because in the near future Amazon very likely will also reach a deal with Facebook and\/or Google Plus. \u00a0So if you are selling on Amazon now it is a no-brainer that you will benefit from the ease that <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>#AmazonCart<\/strong> <\/span>offers to impulsive buyers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s been said that upwards of 70 percent of items placed in shopping carts on retail sites don\u2019t make it to checkout<\/strong>. But it still is important to get your book off the shelf and into the cart by using the Amazon URLs. As they say in hockey, you can score unless you SHOOT!<\/p>\n<p>For anyone wanting to rely on <strong>#AmazonCart<\/strong> to sell content attention must be given to ensure that the product description provides all the information the consumer needs to push the order button. <strong>Beyond the sale, on-page content in Twitter also can result in product reviews or book reviews.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mediabistro has already tracked the use of <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">#AmazonCart<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>and found that several authors are signing up by including a line in their Twitter content to simply reply and type in the hashtag.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goodreads also has taken note of <span style=\"color: #000000;\">#AmazonCart <\/span>and suggests it can be very helpful for self-published authors.<\/strong> <em>\u201cSelf-published authors can now use the social media network to sell books directly to their fan base,\u201d<\/em> stresses Michael Kozlowski, editor-in-chief of Good e-Reader. <em>\u201cOften books are for sale via the Kindle Store or physical titles using Amazon Createspace, or even the audiobook edition via Audible. Authors can now tweet product links out to their followers or pay famous people to endorse the link to their book. This is a brand new marketing vertical that all authors should be embracing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bottom Line:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>#AmazonCart<\/strong><\/span> will help authors sell books. Start including your Amazon URL in your tweets. Do it today!
