Okay Let's Rock This Book Business!

The book business has changed. I miss the idea of bookstores but I love the concept that we are no longer geographically challenged. Now we can reach the world from our computer. Just because you don't have to leave the home office doesn't mean you don't have to work. There are things you have to do and keep doing in order to bring attention to your work. You have to blog. You have to comment on other blogs. Yes, it takes time but the results are great! Blog Tours are great! We set those up all the time and they do work. Does it happen overnight? No but anything worth having is worth working for. It is a rare occasion that success happens overnight. I work with authors all the time. I consult on a regular basis. Those that follow the road map we set up are seeing success.

I know it's weird, and different but man this new book business is FUN! Take the plunge!

WOW! It's Been A While Since I Blogged About Book Marketing!

Hi All,

Boy I can't believe I haven't blogged since November. Things have been pretty busy. I have been working with some great clients old and new. We have been having a great time exploring all of the different ways we can market the author and the book. I have been concentrating a lot on the online marketing. I know everyone wants instant gratification but sometimes it's worth the wait. One of my Reiki clients was feeling a bit like she was hitting a brick wall, then it happened. She received an order for her book from New York, then another one from Florida and now they are coming in on a regular basis from all over the USA. It's still a work in progress but online marketing DOES work if you have the patience. It really is very exciting! So I guess the moral of this story is... Don't give up! Keep moving forward. It's not easy. If you don't feel like you can do it yourself, get help. It will be worth it.

Happy Writing!

A Million New Ways To Market Your Book!

Everyday I find several new ways to market and promote books. So many that sometimes my head spins. It spins in a good way but spins none the less. Social networking is so exciting and unlimited in terms of what you can do and who you can reach. I must say it is time consuming and it does take a bit of time to build up speed but once you do it takes on a life of its own. And it is exciting!
Put in the time. You won't be sorry. If you are able, get someone to help you. A publicist already has a good list of sites and will know how to get things done quickly, giving you the time to keep writing.

Happy Writing!
