New Policy and Approach to The Promoting Your Book Blog and Save the Whales
Yeah … Ok.. that WAS a bit of the ‘man bites dog’ type title.
Yeah? So what? It’s my blog anyway. The new policy and approach part is true though. Sorry to disappoint you budding first time authors who belong to greenpeace. You were probably thinking you really found something.
Rule 1: Dont write stuff in your blog that you can find elsewhere on the Internet. A few posts ago, I went on and on about amazon.com bestseller campaigns. You can learn about that elsewhere. The WHOLE point of this blog is to let you in on what I am doing and the results a real live normal guy (OK .. that may be a push) is experiencing in book promotion. After all, most blogs are a bunch of mental masturbation anyway … all of us typing away for our own self aggrandizement.
NEver has so much been written by so many and read by so few …
Rule 2: At the beginning of the blog, I will put in the one or two sentence summary of just what exactly is useful about the blog you are about to read. That way, once I get all enamored with my own verbal blathering, you can bail out having got the important stuff right off the top.
Unless you are heading off to somewhere useless (the odds are good for that) and then you might as well read what I have to say. I’m not boring.
Sound good? OK … we’ll start with the next entry
