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.

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

Comment by Warren M. Bell on April 9, 2012 at 10:17am: I'm just joining this discussion group. I recently publshed my first novel, FALL EAGLE ONE, on both Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace. It relates the tale of a Luftwaffe special detachment assigned the mission of flying from Europe to the U.S. to kill FDR with "smart" bombs. The aircraft and weapons involved all actually existed. The book's counter plot follows Allied codebreakers in England as they read the detachment's signals but fail to divine its purpose. FALL EAGLE ONE is at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062EU4DG.

Well, the countdown has begun! In just nine days, my novel, Mixed Messages, will be released!

A serial killer is on the loose in Westwood. Is it someone close to Ann? With all the mixed messages she's been getting, she can't be sure it's not.

Mixed Messages will be available on amazon and the publisher's website on April 17th. If you'd like to pre order a copy, go to:
