I might add "get creative." A book marketing strategy that worked brilliantly for a boatload of authors a year ago might now be an over-used strategy. Be willing to try new ideas in addition to what's worked for others, so you're not reliant on one strategy (which goes along with your point, Penny, of not turning down blog opportunities). One way to come up with creative ideas is to go back to who your readers are (or even specific niche readers as a portion of your readership) and where they hang out online and offline. How can you engage them in new ways?

Glynis hi there - you are SO right, it is hard --- but one thing I've found it one on one communication with readers is SO important and SO key. It's not the same as meeting someone for coffee.... but it's a good step!

So I hear what you are saying, but I just replied on this to Laura Drake - what if you ran ads on NOT discounted books, but books that had lowish price point, like $2.99 - we've been doing this with some really good success!

Laura hi - so I would respectfully disagree and here's why: eBook rotation is always a great idea AND what if you ran this on a book that's $2.99 and did not discount it? I have been trying this and it's done quite well. it's not always about discounts, but keeping it top of mind - it's that repetitive nature of seeing a book over and over again!
