51 Ways to Blog as a Novelist

We all know that blogging is one of the best ways to get attention in today's Internet world. A blog is a godsend to your website, bringing it traffic, fans, and more. But you have to post regularly.

Stuck for what to blog about? Here are some tips for novelists, but the same tips can apply to writers of nonfiction, memoirs, children's books, business books, and more.

  1. Review other novels, especially from other lesser-known novelists.
  2. Write a blog post using the voice of one of your main characters.
  3. Have that main character tell some side stories not included in the novel.
  4. Write about the setting - time and/or place. Use some of the research you did to ensure that your novel was accurate.
  5. Invite your readers to review your book. Feature their testimonials on your blog.
  6. Interview some of your readers: via Q&A text or via an Internet radio show or via a teleseminar.
  7. Podcast your book, one section at a time.
  8. Write about trends in your genre.
  9. Write about your favorite novelists, especially those that write in your genre. Include their photos and a sampling of their books.

Offering a copy free goodreads giveaway for my humorous novel, "Somewhere Upriver."
It's a novel about amphibians and herpetologists; it's about white-man Afros and Bigfoot; it's about the Queets rainforest in Olympic National Park; it's about a puff of medical marijuana; it's about salamander toxins, and how newts and pufferfish and ancient Haitian mythologies are all interwoven to a bearded biologist in the northwest corner of the U.S. - or something like that.

The Lubyanka Strategy by Bob Bonelli

 

In Bob Bonelli's new novel The Lubyanka Strategy, two veteran agents, one CIA and the other FSB, are attacked in a Moscow suburb. Heavy chatter over the Internet points to imminent terrorist activity targeting both Washington, D.C. and Moscow. The spy agencies of both the United States and the Russian Federation unite in an attempt to save innocent lives in a heart-pounding race against time. Is the attack on the agents connected to the chatter? Is there more to the chatter than impending death and destruction?  Independent contractor Michael Clark is asked by the CIA to find the answers, as he continues his personal struggle with all that he lost so many years ago. The story unfolds in modern day Moscow and reveals the warm human side of the Russian people. But the sinister plan behind the terror is shocking.

 

The Lubyanka Strategy is the first of a series of action thriller novels in which the main character, Michael Clark, is an older heroic figure who faces international intrigue while dealing with his own personal struggle with loss, love, faith and the drive to be part of something greater than himself.

 

 

Bob Bonelli is an accomplished business executive, innovative entrepreneur and writer.

Raised in the inner city of Brooklyn, New York, Bob earned a degree in Electrical Engineering and served our nation working for a defense contractor on a classified submarine based missile system. He went on to thirty successful years in the financial industry before returning to his engineering roots and co-founding Adsorbed Natural Gas Products, Inc. in 2011. Bob has been a guest on Fox News, Fox Business, CNBC, Bloomberg Television and on many Talk Radio programs.
