GREAT MARKETING TIPS FROM THE TRENCHES

Do your have one successful marketing tip to share with your fellow authors, publicists and book marketers? Just send it to me at [email protected] with the words “My fave marketing tip” in the subject line, using the format below. We will publish your tip and give a special award to the one which receives the greatest number of views that month.  

This is an opportunity to get more eyeballs focused on you, whether you are an author, publisher, editor or publicists. 

We all know that even the best of books won’t go far without some good marketing behind them, so how about sending me your FAVE marketing tip, using the form below. My associate, Lois W. Stern and I will select one marketing tip each month as the WINNER OF THE MONTH, based on the number of views it gets, and post it on this blog and TheNewBookReview blog too. And that’s a big deal ‘cause it gives you one more opportunity to highlight your accomplishments as an Author, Editor, Publisher or Marketing guru.
