Great post, Heather, and wishing you all success with launching! Looks like you've got it down by now 😀

Question regarding your marketing step #3 and your book club step #7--in both, you advise us to do our research. AGREED!! Got any tips on how and where to start with both of these daunting tasks? The web is a vast hole one can easily fall into...and keep falling...and falling...Maybe this might be a future post, if too much to explain here. Thanks for any insights you can offer.

In reply to Fae Rowen. Thx Fae! I hope publishers (like mentioned above) do realize it does very little to help promo a book. The tools are great for making friends though. :)

In reply to donnaeve. You make a great point, donnaeve! I've never bought a book because of something on Facebook, or Instagram, or Twitter. But when a friend tells me to read something, I buy it. Word of mouth sells.

Well, everyone's already said it, but this post couldn't have come at a better time! My book releases October 25th. The good news is...a lot of what's recommended I'm good to go! And yes, that stat about 1% sold due to social media - "we" know that's the truth because although we may be authors, we're also readers who behave just like anyone else when it comes to book solicitation on the web. Mostly ignore it. Now, if someone talks to me about a good book, or sends me a personal email - whole other ballgame.
