Nothing useful to say today - only that it’s time to stop waffling about ‘independent author business models’ and ‘paradigm shifting for online publishing’ and just get on with the nitty gritty. Time to bury the shyness and become an unmitigating self-promoting machine. Or at least dip my toe out there and wait for the minnows to nibble.
A technorati profile will get me going. I’ll be signing up to a few of the other blogger social networks and see about a facebook and myspace profile too.
I’m lucky in that the book has a striking title - and the artwork is great too - so first glances may create a second look. But I’m under no illusions and know that it’s a numbers game. 100 sets of eyes equals 1 second look. 100 second looks equals 1 click. 100 clicks equals ‘more than a three second browse’ 1 interested. 100 interesteds equals 1 purchase.
