Hi Bill -
I look forward to reading more of your posts. Thanks for saying hello. Best, ~ Halli

Looks like you're one busy person! Thanks for inviting me. I'm so new to marketing my books I don't know where I'm going and when! I'd rather be writing, but "talking" to other writers is almost as good!

Namaste Bill thanks for the Ad as a friend,

I am so glad you requested me as one of you’re friends here on Book Marketing Network, thanks for the friends request!!!

Hello Bill

Do you have a link to the book festival in Ventura? Would love to come then. My book will be done June so that would be perfect.

Hi Bill, How's Ventura? I love Ventura and miss it. Use to live in Thousand Oaks. Loved camping on the beaches in Ventura. Plan to visit sometime this summer. Thnx for the new friendship. Have a great week.

Hi Frank! Thanks so much for friending me! I look forward to all your successes! BTW, would you like to be a featured author on Blurb?! next week? For more information you may visit the official Blurb! site at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/blurb

As well, we've put together a few guidelines below that you might find useful. Although we are mainly aiming for pre-recorded blurbs, until we get the show rolling we are also open to 3 minute "live on air" pitches for at least the next few episodes.

Show description:

We listen to 3-minute blurbs from all kinds of
authors. No longer than 3 minutes... They tell us
about their books in 3 minutes or less... Each
week we choose the BEST Blurb! from all the rest,
and during the following week on
www.blurbradio.com, we honor them with BOOK OF
THE WEEK honors!

And it's not about just any book, or any blurb.
We're looking for some HOT copy about your latest
book! We will have up and coming authors,
well-known authors, but all of them will have
something in common -- they EXCITE US and they
will EXCITE YOU in the audience!

So what makes a good blurb?
-- Think back-side of the book
-- Copy in a magazine
-- 2 lines on the radio
-- A Good pitch can generally be expressed in 30 seconds, soooo....
-- 3 minutes is an ETERNITY for a GOOD BLURB!
-- Here's what to put into a GREAT Blurb!
-- Your name, your credentials
-- Your book title, genre, and theme
-- What is the vision of your book? Your message?
-- Your reader needs to know WIFT -- what's in it for them?

So tell us about your characters, your plot,
anything that will hook us! If it will hook us,
it will make our listeners hooked as well, and
you will start selling books like hotcakes off
the shelf!

Here is a short tutorial as to how
authors can create their 3 minute mp3's via "Cinch" -
a kind of free-teleseminar conference call line.
Hopefully it won't prove too difficult!

How to record via Cinch

--Dial Cinch: (646)200-0000
--Record your pitch (which can be no longer than 3 minutes)
--Hang up when you’re done.
--Go to URL: http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/[NUMBER YOU CALLED FROM]
--MP3 of pitch should be there within 1 minute
--Label MP3 according to genre code listed on editorial calendar
--Email MP3 to blurbradio@gmail.com

Hope to hear from you soon! :-) s

Thank you for your friend request, Bill. Much success to you in your business endeavors.

Hi. Thanks for the friend add. I'm now becoming more of a sales person. Still, I wish I can just write and forget about marketing. Don't we all.

Hi Bill,

I've been following your thread on biggest challenge with your book - haven't posted anything so far because the challenge is really where to start! I have made some sales in the UK, but my book seems to be invisible on Amazon US so far.

Thanks for the suggestion about 'cause marketing' - I definitely need to follow that one up.

All the best,

I have sold alot of books. But, the print on demand company that I used is not responsible for my sales. I had several book signings and alot of support from friends and family members. Some of my former teachers in my school even bought copies for their students and children. It is really hard to get the word out there. I wrote two kids books. The first is My Name is Bertha and the second is Bertha Speaks Out. I have so many blogs, posts, and had several interviews too. All done by me and me alone. Since belonging to this site and several other ning sites, I have gotten alot of positive support. Fran

It's good to see some positive comments in these grim times, Bill.
Many thanks for your friendship.
