When tackling social media, it is important to know what to post and what not to post. In my last article , I mentioned that no one on social networks wants to read "buy my product." By the same token, they don't want to read "retweet this," "share this," or "forward this to all your friends." Posts like this will be deleted and maybe even flagged as annoying spam. So how does a social media marketer craft posts that will get read and, perhaps, forwarded? Read the full article at Social Media: Top 5 Things Your Audience Wants to Know.

I had hoped to have "How to Promote Your Book on a Shoestring Budget" out by September 1. I have not posted a blog recently because I am just waiting for my books now. I have signed off on the proof, we agreed upon a price, and I ordered my first batch. Now I just have to wait for them to get here! I will post when they are here and when NovelMaker has them up on their site -- until then, I am just enduring the wait! I hope everyone has a happy Labor Day!

My friend Dan Meyer is a sword swallower. That's not all he is; he's a juggler, fire eater, writer, musician, horse lover, social networker, husband, friend, and Christian. You can read a devotional Dan wrote at "Swallowing My Pride." Dan has one of the best online social networks I have ever seen, so I asked him to send in his top-ten list of tips to include in my book How to Promote Your Book on a Shoestring Budget which he graciously did. His tips are excellent! Now Dan is competing on this summer's "America's Got Talent," and he was just selected as one of eight Wildcard Acts, to be voted on by America during the next week!

How to Promote Your Book on a Shoestring Budget started its life as the 8-page booklet "How to Promote Your Benefit Concert on a Shoestring Budget" way back in 1990. That's how long I have been organizing promotional, marketing and publicity tips along with event-planning ideas. I started work on this book in September of 2006, and even had a proof copy done at a local vanity press. However, I was very unhappy with the results and have spent the past two years refining the book, adding four new chapters plus a checklist, as well as workbook pages with every chapter. The book has been through the editing process, has been proof read, designed and laid out, and now I am just waiting for the final product to roll off the presses, hopefully by the end of August! If you order the book, I want you to know that's not all you get! I have just created a Yahoo group where my readers will have access to me and to other writers where you can give feedback, ask questions, and sh...
