What do Authors do to promote their books?
It's been a while and I am really going to blog. Usually I come on and tell you about my new e-books that were published, but today I am coming to share my thoughts.
A lot of us authors ask the question do you have any suggestions for promoting your book when we have exhausted all the ways we know how. We did them all yet, we know there are more avenues to get your book out there. You know your audience, you e-mail all your friends and family, you sent out flyers to your e-mail mailing list. You updated your blog and website, and all the pages you have. You know all the ones you don't get to update because you have so many you can't remember your password.
Is there a special place or list to follow to get your book out there? Do you have great marketing skills? Maybe you don't have great marketing skills. What do you do?
We all know most of the responsibility for promoting a book is on the author. Publishers do their part but you have to work just as hard. So that means you can't drop the ball and take a rest. You have to push that book in every way you can. Now I will share some of the things I know and maybe they will be helpful. I might be giving you information you all ready know. Some of them I have tried and some I haven't. If you have any suggestions leave them in the comments. We will call this Authors helping Authors.
1. Get a blog and join blogs.
2. Make flyers of your books and email them out and if possible make copies and put them in places such as bulletin boards, etc.
3. Join websites, like authorsden.com, myspace, facebook, Apoo, etc
4. Join communities of your writing genre, such as romance, paranormal or whatever genre you write.
5. Try to send to websites that are offering to review books so you can get reviews or interviews to add to your website and other web pages you have.
6. Ask friends and family to leave reviews, and ask them to pass the word because word of mouth is still a great thing.
7. Make sure to keep your blog, websites and other web pages you have updated.
8.Have a virtual blog tour.
Well that's it for the time being. So until next time.
Inner peace,
Letitia

A Simple Song-My new e-book ready for download
A Simple Song by Letitia P. Blount
Download your copy now for $1.95 http://www.ladyleopublishing.org/
Blurb:
Jaeda Pontes has been there, done that when it comes to dealing with her husband Derrick's infidelity issues. To cope, she develops the habit of marrying songs to Derrick's indiscretions which only aids in bringing back the memories she doesn't want to deal with. After Derrick's latest creep, Jaeda has a hard time forgiving him and wonders if she ever can, but an expected surprise forces her to make a major decision. Will she make the right one for all involved? It took a simple song to mark the painful event in Jaeda's life. Will it take a simple song to save or end her marriage?
Excerpt:
The lapse of conversation continued until we arrived in front of our house. Before Derrick could get out of the car to open the door for me, I got out and ran up the stairs. It slowly dawned on me that I hadn’t brought my keys. I stood there with a vicious attitude, waiting for Derrick to open the door.Derrick walked up the stairs with a smirk on his face. “See, fast ass, you are always in a rush,” he said. I rolled my eyes and sucked my teeth.
I pushed past him, removed my coat, and threw it on the coat rack next to the front door. It toppled over to the floor.
I ran upstairs and slammed the bedroom door, then lay on the flowered comforter as my tears soaked my cheeks and my pillow. I kicked my heavy black boots off my feet. They thumped on the floor. Grabbing my pillow, I put it over my face and screamed into it.
How could I make him understand? He hadn’t experienced the crushing feelings of deceit, the loss of trust, and the thoughts of someone making love or having sex with someone you love with every part of your being. How the oath of marriage is destroyed because the person I love didn’t care enough about me to think if I were to find out how it would devastate me. It pulled the rug from underneath my whole existence. The foundation dwindled right before my eyes. How can I put it into words so he can understand the damage he has created inside me?
