Congrats on the book contract. <br />Sometimes it's the little efforts that can make a big difference, when it comes to promotions. <br />Keep us posted on the specifics.

As for self promotion - I'm going to have to brace myself for it as I've just signed a book contract for my first mystery. Scary, challenging and . . . scary.

But if we don't promote ourselves, who will? Though, it will take some time for sure.

(this is a true statement) I have to have a mic when I am in one of our dramas at church. I prefer the writing phase of the craft over the speaking. As a child, I heard it wasn't right to talk about yourself. I guess I will have to unlearn some things if I want to promote myself.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-40874795703859273472012-02-27T08:26:42.599-08:002012-02-27T08:26:42.599-08:00Thanks for your post Jennifer,
Actually I do th...Thanks for your post Jennifer, <br /><br />Actually I do think that I probably do more <i>Marketing</i> and <i>Promotion</i> than any actual Freelance Writing :)<br /><br />Because currently I mostly only write <i>Blogposts</i> or answering peoples Questions, writing in Forums offering Solutions as <b><i>'Tastemakers'</i></b> that can help (pre) sell Products on my Blogs. <br /><br />For example today I wrote a post (pre) selling a book about <i><b>- Laptop Lifestyle -</b></i> (a book about how you can make money online with doing Affiliate Marketing) Basically <i>'Guest Posting'</i> (like you write about in your nr. 3) on my own Blogs. In an attempts to work smarter, and to <i>- Scale -</i> my <i><b>Market Reach</b></i> I practically used the same blogpost for the readers of 3 of my Blogs; The <i>Travel Blog</i>, The <i>- Home Business Lifestyle</i> - Blog and on the <i>- Writer's Lifestyle -</i> Blog. <br /><br />Because I do think that for all 3 <i>'Channels'</i> it can be an interesting Product. This is somewhat like a <i>'Force Multiple Attack'</i> military Strategy. It seems to be working because to my surprise I have already seen that there actually have been several clicks on <i>- Laptop Lifestyle -</i> already today.HP van Duurenhttp://hpshappywriting2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-64962318161953040232012-02-26T11:57:04.565-08:002012-02-26T11:57:04.565-08:00Karen,
