Secrets of Good Promotion
Probably one of the most important aspects for any published, traditional or indie author is good promotion. If you don't make a splash, no one will know you're there. Splash too much and people will treat you like a leper.
Today, I'm visiting with my friend Shelley Munro, multi-published author and world traveler. Honestly, I'd read her blog for her travel stories alone. That woman takes the BEST trips!
Shelley's blog has always been my template of what a blog should look like. It's clean, easy to read, short and interesting. Every post is different, so I'm never disappointed.
I was thrilled when she invited me to be on her blog. And considering her giant back list of books, it seemed only appropriate that I should write about promotion.
No matter how you're published, these will be good tips to keep on the back-burner when you decide how to spend your time and money.
Stop by and visit me at Shelley's!

Had a huge scare last night. I tried to add Google Analytics and before I even inserted the code, my blog disappeared for a whole twenty minutes. My other Google-owned sites worked fine. Only my blog went AWOL. Imagine me with a coronary. Has this ever happened to any of you?
Comments
Off to check out the other blog. Hopefully i'll be able to comment this time
Glad you got it back and hope it does not happen again as do not want to have to talk Tank and Iko through a long distance rescue.
Heading over to Shelley's in a bit, have to go refuel with some food.
Okay, off to read Shelley's blog. :)
Anyway I'm glad it's been sorted.
I'm busy playing catch up having been to Cornwall for a week. Off to check Shelley's blog now - see how promotion is done, and whether she's been to Cornwall :)
I'll stop by and see what you have to say about promotion. Such appropriate timing you have.
Mike: Google Analytics is just another way to track where your blog is being seen. After that scare, I've decided, I don't really need to know.
Once I loaded photos side by side and my blog went missing, removing the photos brought it back.
It was an honor having you to visit. You're welcome any time :)
@Mike - Yes, I have been to Cornwall. I've visited Land's End and eaten Cornish Pasties at Mousehole.
And thank you, Shelley for letting me crash your blog. I really enjoyed the comments and feedback.
