I'm glad I read this because the marketing book I read told me to do the irritating "push" mentioned here. Besides, it's against my nature to bombard people.

The other two things that drive me crazy (and drive me away from reading anything about the book, let alone the book itself) are a) when the author posts ONLY about each and every tiny detail of their publication process. How amazing it is. Celebration is good; bragging is a turnoff. And b) those giveaways where you can't enter unless you spam two or three other places with ads about the book. Firstly, that's too complicated for a giveaway, and second, I feel like my arm is being twisted into working in someone's marketing plan. I spread the news quite a lot about books I like and authors I feel like need more recognition--but rarely does that coincide with situations where I feel manipulated into it.

They remind me of telemarketers. They keep calling, even when you've said you're not interested.<br /><br />There are a couple of authors I follow on Twitter that actually post something about their book about 100x a day. To the point where they sound too desperate and because of that, I skip their posts, instead of read them. Bombarding people with desperate ads/posts/emails just won't work.<br /><br />Thanks for the tips!Corey M.

No "hi" or anything else, just a straight copy from the blurb with a link. I'd never heard of them before. Your points are good. I've always thought guest posting is an idea, because although it's obvious the author is promoting themselves they are able to write about something different, a story also, that might catch your interest rather than marketing in a literal manner.Charliehttp://wormhole.carnelianvalley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-90531432138061302872012-10-03T09:20:23.219-04:002012-10-03T09:20:23.219-04:00I so agree with your observations!

It all boils down to manners basically. Coming from a Marketing background helps me, but I think what writers fall prey to is panic. They lose their common sense and sense of self-moderation! I *hate* auto-tweeted PMs on Twitter with a passion I really do. And the other thing? Emotional blackmail. <br /><br />I got a PM from a tweeter once about his book, I wished him luck with it and he replied to say if I REALLY meant it I'd go to his Amazon page and click like and spread the word. He didn't know me from Adam, we'd exchanged no tweets, nothing. He actually had an interesting Twitterfeed too but I was utterly turned off and felt horribly pressurised. <br /><br />Keep your dignity peeps, start yourself off on a good foot and be patient. If you are in this for the long haul, patience is key.Yasminselenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601910092914034690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539581256374625880.post-51073604596967997962012-10-02T20:12:27.673-04:002012-10-02T20:12:27.673-04:00Excellent post.

By then, you've connected with writer friends and built some sort of following on a blog or Facebook. Then you can access those friendships, and offer to help market for someone else in return as well. <br /><br />Yes, I've had people send me messages like that, or friend me to try to link me to their website to buy their book. I think we can learn a lot from what we don't enjoy seeing others do.Cindy R.

LOL. It happened to us once before, we bought the books that one time but never again.<br /><br />This is a GREAT reminder. It's true. All the books I buy are from word of mouth. Try to write engaging books readers get excited about is the best advice.

Since self publishing is so mainstream, it seems like everyone I meet has a book to plug. It is impossible to buy and read everyone's work, and I realize that when trying to promote mine. Like you said, just keep writing compelling books and hopefully they will be noticed and get a great following.

I'm surprised so many people still use it, considering how much bad press it's gotten and overall bad feeling it fosters.
