Latest Promotional Tips

Here are a few tips I learned about promotion.

These are all related to Internet promotion. The traditional route is booksignings, appearances at book festivals, and readings at libraries, but for now I'm focused on the Internet.

One of the things I've been advised to do is blog often. (Hence, this blog!) Keep a list of keywords saved in Notepad so you can copy and paste into your blog. This saves you time in having to come up with new ones every time, and it will help your Google ranking.

Another thing is to mention your novel, such as The Dead Guy, in the blog. Again, this helps search engines find you and your product. And it helps to link the name of your novel to a place where people can buy it!
