Master at Book Marketing

I've been neck deep in studying everything I can find to become a master at marketing. I say that with a smile, because it sounds quite ominous and time consuming as anything with master in front of it would, but I am determined to do just that ~ become a master marketer. For the past few weeks, I have immersed myself in possibilities ... I've decided that my first big jump in the marketing world will be to become an effective podcaster ~ note the emphasis on effective. I've engaged the expertise of fellow author and friend, Betsy Love, http://betsyloveldsauthor.blogspot.com in creating the beginnings of what I believe will become an extremely effective marketing tool. The name of our new and exciting podcast and accompanying blog is Sweet Peas in a Writer Podcast. We will be interviewing aspiring and published authors and allowing them airtime on our podcast to talk about their books, their writing experiences, and anything else that "pops" up. We will also be answering your writing/publishing questions, so make sure you visit http://sweetpeasinawirterpodcast.blogspot.com and leave your suggestions/questions. This is going to be an awesome venue for us all!

  1. I admit I am not knowledgeable about podcasts... I tried to do a vlog once and I was mortified by how I looked and sounded :)

    Nice to meet you through the campaign!

  3. I'm just learning the ropes, Alexia ... but I am convinced that it will be a SUPER way to meet people and gain more readers, etc. I love the part of interacting with them ...it is going to be super! Maybe you'd like to be a guest? Or have a question about writing/publishing discussed? ~Theresa

  7. That sounds so exciting. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it. Thanks for stopping by my blog... and for appreciating the "realness" of it. I value authenticity greatly and figure, if I can't be successful by being real, I don't want to be successful. So here's to becoming successful someday :)

  8. I totally agree with you Betty! I feel the same way ... it's real important to be true to "yourself" and not to be afraid to speak your mind - to allow yourself to be vulnerable - that's one of the first steps of being able to truly connect with someone else, huh... glad to meet you~

  9. I wish you great success with your podcasts. I once did a vlog, but followers far and wide offered me hard cash money never to have to look at me again! Ooops. Maybe I get Cate Blanchett do a voice over of some of my prose while looking at my gorgeous covers by Leonora Roy?

    Hey, I can dream.

    I believe you have gotten hold of the right idea. The best way to garner a wide audience for yourself is to help others. Look at what doing that has done for Alex Cavanaugh. Thanks for visiting my blog, Roland

    I think you will garner more coments without the new 2 word verification. Just a thought, :-)

    1. Thanks Roland! And thanks for bringing that annoying 2 word verification thing to my attention - I will definitely fix it! I'll have to look into what a vlog is, but I'm assuming its has something to do with video/skypes?

  12. An understanding of customer behaviour in store, often gleaned only through trial and error and observation can be used as a positive sales tool. Rationalising consumer psychology in what drives a purchase has led to the formulation of protocol in determining how best to set out a store, appropriate and effective product placement, and establishing an atmosphere of subliminal messages geared towards improving sales.
