Sorry… the post header reads like the title of a bad beach novel, I know, but I couldn’t resist. THIS post is pretty much a nothing post other than a general ‘here’s what I’m looking to accomplish going forward’ with the blog. I’m sure many folks out there (especially parents) found the summer to be busier than the rest of the year. What happened to the ‘lazy days of summer’ that we used to know (for those of usover 40 or so…).
Anyway – I’m back in the mode of getting content back on to the site in a regular manner – matter of fact an interesting article is coming later today comparing Google Book Search results to Google PPC results… it’s very surprising to me (and I run both systems for Dog Ear Publishing).
Over the next few posts I’ll be covering a number of (hopefully) relevent topics to all of you, including self-publishing with ‘green’ in mind (not money… though it is part of the equation), social marketing for self published authors (it is turning out to be harder, less focused, and with softer results than we all thought… unless you follow some very simple rules…), expanding markets for self published books beyond US borders (UK distribution, the Espresso Book Machine, Canadian markets), and the change face of search marketing for self published books (Bing may just change the game…)
Thanks for reading – and as always I’d love to hear from you either directly or in comment
