They make the first impression when browsing a store. If they don't catch my eye, I don't bother to look further.<br /><br />So in this, the "eyes" don't have it.Shawn Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053842855118457085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502778880611854807.post-80323427080942279192011-04-10T23:20:03.092-04:002011-04-10T23:20:03.092-04:00Okay Thank you Beverly!

Goodreads giveaways also get people to at least check out the book. I think it's a great way to market a new book. Most people will add it to their to read shelf and then their friends see it and look at it. Blog reviews are of course another great way to get the title out there!! I think you're on the right track.carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082653047207068687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502778880611854807.post-46048489446080905932011-04-10T21:26:54.350-04:002011-04-10T21:26:54.350-04:00PS I was thinking of doing a giveaway on Goodreads...PS I was thinking of doing a giveaway on Goodreads, i was curious if that really help get more notice.Ottilie Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041781450774080154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502778880611854807.post-83581141689990016782011-04-10T21:26:20.310-04:002011-04-10T21:26:20.310-04:00Your two-cents means a lot, so don't sell your...Your two-cents means a lot, so don't sell yourself short! At 5'2'' I know short! I have 3 book blogs that are going to do reviews, and one facebook one who has over 800 people following, and I'm doing an interview and a character interview. Unforunatly I had to wait a little longer ot get copies of FAmily Ties till this upcoming weekend, haha long story. I was thinking of starting a FB page for my book(s) well one for each, I have one for myself but wasn't sure about book. I'll set it up tonight. haha oh google and your searches!

(If you don't know about that, you can find them under the "explore" tab.) I also love book blogs and I like to know what readers who enjoy the same books I do are reading. If I were you, I'd contact a few blogs with good followings and ask them if they would be willing to accept a review copy and maybe run a giveaway. Giveaways are really good at generating buzz. You can also do a FB page just for your book (It's different than a personal one) and the more people who like it, the more exposure you get. Also, a lot of authors are very willing to share secrets. Do some research. Find author sites and see if they post some marketing ideas or things that worked for them. Google is also a great tool. Google, "marketing my book" and see what comes up.<br /><br />That's my two-cents, which might actually be worth substantially less. ;)Deborah A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13615163320419003278noreply@blogger.com
