Content Is Still King With Print Media – Whether Traditional Or Online

How To Harness The Power of Digital Print Coverage

Myths About Publicity
What It Does and Who Gets It Judging from the questions I’m asked by people from every walk of life, misconceptions about publicity – what it can do and who can get it – abound. By definition, publicity is media coverage you get because you’re deemed to be of interest to an audience. If a […]

Decking the Halls Doesn’t Mean Slowing Down

So if your competition is not in the game over the holidays, this is the perfect time for you to step in and get the coverage. […]

Tips for Your Online Book Promotion: It’s Not About the Technology, It’s About the Customers
Every author should have their own Web site, whether they are marketing one book or twenty. If your book has garnered some positive reviews, feature them on the home page – get as much leverage from those reviews as possible. Make sure visitors to the site can easily purchase your book directly from the site. No need to invest in an expensive ecommerce web solution – PayPal is totally acceptable and trusted these days, and easy to implement on your site. Even though most of your online book sales will come from Amazon, it’s worthwhile selling on your site and will provide the opportunity to add these book buyers to your own mailing list. That way, when your next book is ready to be released, you can email everyone on your list and let them know. If your topic or area of expertise lends itself to a weekly or monthly newsletter, add a newsletter signup to the site, and make sure each edition of your newsletter contains links back to your site. You never know where your newsletter will eventually land. […]
