Marketing: The Lions And Tigers and Writers oh MY!
January 8, 2010
Marketing.
Marketing Your Book. Marketing.
Money for Marketing. Learning about Marketing. Making enough money for the marketing to be worth it.
I think people fear marketing because of a paradox, you need money (some at least) to market, and you need to know enough about publicity and marketing to do it right. There are also other things you need as a writer to be published. I digress.
I can almost hear everyone say but.. but… I write!
Yes you write and you wrote a book and now it’s published so you need to market it. Simple right?
As long as there is some knowledge it is. So what worries you about the lions and tigers of marketing?

What worries me is that if I don't get it right, I'll only sell like 10 copies of my book.
Rebecca
well, look on the bright side Al, then you've sold 10 copies =)

i'm marketing my blogs and books before they are published, its all part of creating an authors platform. People will know who you are, love what you write, and more than likely support you by buying your book for themselves or as a gift for a friend or loved one…
