Promoting is hard work, I would say harder than writing. When it comes to writing you all ready have an idea where you want to story to go, what you want the characters to say. Yes they don't always listen but there is a general flow to the life of the story. You finish the novel, get it published and then you have to figure out where to send your baby for the best results. There are a wide range of options, you see authors with one book that seem to have a hue following and when it comes your turn to send your beloved book out, the fan fair is met with crickets. So you start to do research and it is all overwhelming, you ask other authors and you generally get, what works for one wont work for the next person. Great but give me an idea where to start. I don't know what blogs are, how to tour them, how to get on the blogs. I am not sure what marketing ideas there are. Give me a general idea of what didn't work. If I take a flyer of my book cover and say available at Amazon and post it at every public place from malls to colleges, will it help get me noticed?
Do I hires a sky writer that puts in the sky read forgotten?
Get yourself a blog, great I got one, How do I bring people to it so they read my words of wisdom? Get Twitter get Facebook,ok great but really having them and having people follow are two separate things. So when it comes to navigating the word of MM romance and marketing I am still trying to tread water.
