Big thanks to the sudden jump in traffic over the past few days. It seems that my article on promoting your book through Facebook.com is really taking off! Big thanks for coming by the site and I hope you get a ton of good info from it!
While I have you hear, just wanted to give you a heads up that the Kindle version of my humor book, Musings on Minutiae, is still JUST $0.99!! If you’re looking to pick it up, I encourage you to do so quickly because in February I’ll be raising the price to help fund my next book! Get it while it’s cheap (not content-wise) and be sure to let me know what you think!
Over the past few years while promoting my self-published humor book, Musings on Minutiae, I’ve had to handle the entire marketing process on my own. However, using my strong DIY background I’ve been able to be creative with it and utilize a lot of online resources to garner attention and make sales. I’ve written some very in-depth articles in the past on how to use these online sites and have added a new one to give you some tips and suggestions for how to utilize the social networking giant, Facebook, to market your book.

I’ve also updated some of my past articles on how to market through Goodreads.com, Shelfari.com, Paperbackswap.com, BlogTalkRadio.com, and I’ve written a list of 5 Titles on Book Marketing and Promotion that You Need to Read.
Enjoy them and if I missed any great info, don’t hesitate to send it my way!
The fine folks over at the official BlogTalkRadio Blog picked up on the article I recently published about promoting and marketing your book using their broadcasting service.
Hopefully this helps other authors find the resource and everyone realizes how great a tool BTR is.
They had some nice things to say about the article and I appreciate them taking the time to feature it.

During the process of releasing my humor book, Musings on Minutiae, I did a ton of research on how to market it and find a readership. I read a lot of great books on the subject and what felt like a million websites trying to absorb as much as I could on the process.
What I realized is that while there are a ton of ideas out there, a lot of them are just rehashes of one another, and many marketing techniques require quite a bit of money that most authors do not seem to have just laying around.
I decided to write a series of articles about my personal experience with marketing my own book which will detail techniques that have worked for me and led to sales of my title. My word is by no means professional or the best advice, but what works for one person typically works for another.
Over the last couple months, I published articles about promoting on Goodreads.com, Shelfari.com, and Paperbackswap.com.
The latest addition, Promoting Your Book Online Through BlogTalkRadio, is now available for your reading pleasure.
More articles to come in this series! If you have suggestions or feedback on any of them, let me know. I promise I’m not like that one guy you work with who just doesn’t want to hear it!
