Regardless of your book, if everything you do listed above is about “buy my book” (however slant that is taken) it will quickly be ignored or hidden.

If you do an e-newsletter, what can you include (whether directly related to the book or not) that the reader can gain from.

Few things are more annoying than the author whose every post and note is all about buy the book, share the book, and latest sales numbers about the book. What is exciting for the author is not necessarily what will make the next potential reader want to bump the book to the top of the reading stack.

Rather than purely social networking, take what you are passionate about and network based on that. As people get to know YOU, and feel your passion in something they share, then that connection will drive interest in your book.

In the past couple years I’ve had people express interest in my book before even hearing the specific details. The personal connection is the best marketing because they’ve bought into YOU, and not just words on a page (or screen nowadays!)

Just my opinions, take them at your own risk, published in magazines but not yet a book deal!

Have a great day.
