And cross-promoting with other authors is a fantastic idea too. As Jill mentioned above, we can start early building those relationships with other writers so that we have a group of friends who will mutually support one another.Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-927459228367720582011-09-19T21:59:48.219-04:002011-09-19T21:59:48.219-04:00I feel like promoting another author's book, e...I feel like promoting another author's book, especially yours, is a team effort!Julie Musilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150454913885915017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-1240997506143305562011-09-19T19:45:26.304-04:002011-09-19T19:45:26.304-04:00Such a great post, Jody! Regarding #1, another way...Such a great post, Jody! Regarding #1, another way to make it easier for people to share good news on Twitter is to make sure the tweet is short enough to be easily retweeted. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to retweet someone's news or links, but their tweet is too long and I'm too busy to shorten it. <br /><br />And I LOVE #3. It's easier to promote someone else than it is to promote myself. Cross-promoting with other authors who write similar books is a great way to do this. A group of us who write paranormal romance have teamed up and are sending each other our books to give away on our blogs, to newsletter subscribers, etc. A reader may not have heard of me but they're a fan of the other author and they'll hear about my books from her and vice versa. It's a fun (and easy) way to broaden your audience.Laurie Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953540926553154310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-76224797834078423872011-09-19T16:01:37.197-04:002011-09-19T16:01:37.197-04:00Great post, Jody!

The pleas to "please friend me", "check out my blog" or "don't miss my newest release" get tiresome, whereas the interesting tidbits about what's being discussed on a blog are likely to tease me into a click to check. If the person seems friendly and outwardly focused instead of self-promoting I'm more inclined to be interested. I agree with Olivia that understanding our own response can provide insight on how we should handle our marketing. We also can't go wrong if we follow your example!Carol J.

I really like the idea of turning our own promotion outward to promote others. The best thing we can do as authors is support each other, and a very small amount of extra effort can mean the world to others. When we can do that, we definitely should.Jen J.
