I listened to a podcast by New York Times Bestselling Author Taylor Stevens recently and I picked up a few D’OH items.
Like, Oh yeah, not everyone knows this…
Just a few things to know and try:
Many readers don’t know you can give an eBook as a gift.
If you are giving my book as a gift, let me know and I’ll send you a hand written card for that person to give with that gift from me, the author, that is customized to them.
Librarians recommend books, so get to know them.
Ask your readers to ask their librarians to carry the book. Librarians buy books, then lots of people can read them.
Write a review where you bought the book.
This is a pretty good podcast – and I NEVER listen to podcasts, so if I’m recommending it, it must be good.
Actually, I recommended a podcast a few days ago to a friend but other than that, I have never recommended one EVER. Honest. You’ve never seen me do that here before, right?
Then email Taylor and ask her to do a guest blog post for us or something.
Meanwhile, check out her podcast. You’ll learn stuff.
