Make New Friends With Book Inventory Software

If this article about book inventory software were an infomercial, you'd be watching someone with a lovely accent explain how the right software will clean your house, wash your car, and help you win friends and influence people! Since this isn't an infomercial, though, let's be honest--you'll probably need to do those dishes yourself. But you might not be aware that the right book inventory software really can help you connect with other book lovers and make some new friends with similar interests.

Export Your Book Inventory

You've used great book inventory software that doesn't just list your books but fills in detailed information and lets you add custom fields, sort the books how you want and categorize to your heart's desire. Now you can export your book inventory to HTML. If that sounds far too complicated for you, don't worry. All that means is that with a few clicks the book inventory software turns your inventory into a web page!

Then it's easy enough to grab some free web space and upload that file (most free web hosts make this easy with a button you click, then you find the file on your computer and up it goes-no technical knowledge necessary). Then you can put the URL (or address) of your file in your email signature or send it to friends so they can see the books that you own.

If you interact in forums or message boards you can put that URL in your profile or even your signature if that particular board allows it. Announce that your book inventory is now online. If the forum has anything to do with books or literature, other people will be especially interested in what you're reading. This can spark great conversations about particular books, and even debates between those who disagree about a novel.

Your non-fiction books, as well as your audiobooks and ebooks will be listed as well if you choose the right book inventory software, and will help your visitors see what interests you. If you don't want to upload a webpage, you can email it to people, or export it to a mobile device to send to friends. Any of these methods are a great way to connect with friends (and make new ones) who share your love of books.

Other Book Inventory Software Users

The company that made your software should offer user forums so they can hear what their customers say about their software and can respond quickly to any problems. These forums are a great way to connect with other people who share your interests. Not only do you have a love of books in common, but you chose the same book inventory software!

People in a forum like this love to share their book inventories with other users and talk about the unique ways in which they use the book inventory software. You'll get great book tips and ideas about how you can better use all the great features in your book inventory software.
