A very helpful reply to my post, beyond what could usually be expected.

Thanks Bill. Do you have some thoughts on my recent blog about two agent's different opinions about my novel? jack

nice to hear from you

Hi! Bill thank you for being a friend. I am thankful for all of the information you share it’s a great help.

Bill, thank you for being a friend. The biggest challenge I have is marketing my book. I am working on a business model to document how I did it. I am looking forward to meeting successful authors and getting valuable information on this social network.

Hey Bill, Thanks for being a friend. Renita and I look forward to learning how to market her book.

Thanks again Joe Perrone

Thanks Bill, for being my first....friend on here! :-)

Thanks for the welcome.
My biggest challenge as a first time author, with little or no help from the self publishing company, is not only to find ways to market the book but also to find time. I am now realising that the investigation of the marketing opportunities is eating in to my other professional activities and more importantly my writing.

Thank Bill for accepting me as your friend. When you have the time and chance check out my website at http://www.iamdark.com and listen to my show.

Muchas gracias Bill, igualmente estoy encantado de estar aqui en la compañia de todos ustedes.

Un Abrazo,,

Thank you so much for the connection, Bill. :-)

Thanks for the add, Bill. Feels good to be part of this family. Going to make me a cuppa, then see you discussion :D

Hello Bill,
You're my first blog friend, and it's a nice feeling. It's like entering exciting new territory! I've been reading some of your blogs, and they're pretty informative.

Bill,
I am still trying to figure out blogs, tweets, etc.. I really don't understand it all; barely made it to websites. I don't even know how to get into a discussion here. Having Parkinson's doesn't help, but I thought I would say hello to other Ohio writers.

Bill,

I have the same problem that Diana is having starting a blog, but not knowing how to draw a following.

Hi Bill...
My biggest challenge is at the moment selling the book. The bigger problem is that I live in Macedonia, and the book is published in US and have little information about the process. Before I was thinking "it is the content that will do everythong" but now I see it is not the case. The book is great and I would like to expand the number of readersm, but relly do not know what to do...?

Interesting article. Sadly not only new authors have to market their books. Editors want to know that your website is up to date, are you on FB and are blogging on a regular basis. With all the extra connections how do they expect us to write?
Thanks for the friend request.

Hi Bill, thanks for the add. I'm glad to be here and will certainly check out your discussions at a later date...take care. My website is www.reneeallenmccoy.com

The challange is having a publisher that will treat your book like a new born life developing instead of money. AG Press, LLC treats every book with TLC.

Thank you Bill for you warm welcome. I would say that biggest challenge I have is actually finding the right marketing tactics for my books. I've been following along for a while with Book Marketing Network and have managed to write some press releases which were picked up my News Papers and online news spots. SO This website does contain wonderful tips and information! I look forward to sticking around for a while.

Thanks Bill for inviting me to be your friend. I appreciate. If you find time please check out my website ( www.TalkingPennyBook.com ). My book, "Talking Penny," is listed. I appreciate any feedback you can offer.

Hi there. Im Zaid. I recently published a book on Lulu entitle, "Salaam from South Africa". The problem Im having, which Im sure you might also be experiencing, is effectively promoting this book. My book link is http://www.lulu.com/product/hardcover/salaam-from-south-africa/1125... There is also a downloadable version available. I have approached amazon.com regarding how I could get my book up on their website..but im currently still awaiting a response. I was wondering if perhaps you have any ideas as to how to effectively get my book out there? You can respond to this request or you can email me on zaid@hbzbank.co.za Il let you know the full lowdown on how my amazon.com experience went. Hoping to hear from you

In 1989 Exxon told the cleanup workers the same story, that the crude oil is not toxic. Some of us are living proof of the toxic exposure, and many others have died. Please view the YouTube video, and help get the message to Gulf residents, BP crude oil cleanup workers, and President Obama. Respirators need to be supplied to oil cleanup crews.
Thank you.
