What Authors Most Want to Know …
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Thanks to all who filled out my survey so far.
(If you haven’t yet done so, weigh in here–it only will take a couple of minutes.)
As of this writing–with the first batch of responses–100 percent of you said the topic that interested you most was promotion and publicity!
I shouldn’t be surprised–it’s what sparked my own journey into Internet marketing of information products some 4 years ago.
(I wanted to alternative ways to market books besides going the exhausting route of speaking gigs.)
For many of us authors, writing comes easier than marketing.
I have good news about this!
First, as I’ve said many times before, this is the BEST time to be an author.
Publicity/promotion opportunities abound.
In some ways, however, the multitude of choices can feel overwhelming.
However, not to worry. In the coming weeks, I will help you sort through not only what’s possible, but what’s right for you.
In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for tomorrow’s post. It will be about one of the BEST ways to promote your book–before OR after it’s written.

Diane-
I am excited about the ways you will share with us in regards to publicity and promotion. Thank you so much.
Sometimes I get confused with publicity and promotion and the ways that are offered. I have a children’s book I wrote and sometimes I don’t know if some of the ways mentioned about publicity and promotion are geared more towards adult non-fiction and fiction. My children’s book is a non-fiction book, so that may be easier to promote also.
Thank you for any guidance you can send our way!
I always learn so much from your blog.
Sincerely,
Barb
