I\u2019ve been asked to contribute regular posts to the BookBaby blog. So watch for my posts at http:\/\/www.bookbaby.com<\/a> <\/p>\n

Do you have one or more books to promote? Do you address, inform, educate and entertain your audience through your own well-targeted blog? Do you comment at other related blogs? And do you seek out guest blog opportunities? Whether your book is fiction or nonfiction, or a print or ebook, you should be doing all of the above in order to increase your exposure, thus sales.<\/p>\n

How do you know whether or not your blog posts are being read? Yesterday, just since my post appeared at BookBaby, I have received 9 new requests for the free ebooklet I offer at my site. This means that 9 new people have visited my site, are aware of who I am, and know about my books for authors. This also means that, since they must sign up for my ebooklet, I have added 9 names of potential customers to my growing list of around 1,000.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t done so, try it. If you have tried it and it didn\u2019t work out for you, come at it from a different angle. Maybe you aren\u2019t clear, yet, about who your target audience is, for example. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to talk more about this in tomorrow\u2019s post.<\/p>\n
