I promised myself I’d spend most of my computer time editing today, so I’m doing a “best of” type post for authors who haven’t been hanging around my blog, reading every single word for long (it’s okay…you didn’t know any better…:D).
The following are some core articles on book promotion:
- How to Start a Newsletter (and why all authors should)
- How to Start a Professional Author Website & Blog
- Social Media Basics for Authors (AKA How Not to Suck at Twitter and Facebook)
- What the Heck is Author Branding and How Do You Do It Anyway?
- The Importance of Keeping in Touch with Fans (and how to find them in the first place)
- High Level vs Low Level Book Promotion Techniques
And a few bonus extras:
- Book Promotion Tips for Hardcore Introverts
- Is Your Website Hurting Your Book Sales?
- How to Use Smashwords Coupons to Promote Your Ebook
- Book Trailers for Promotion, Yay or Nay?
- Creating a Facebook Fan Page for Marketing — One Author’s Experience
If you have any questions or topics you’d like to see covered in future posts, let me know in the comments. Thanks, and happy book promoting!
I still regard this site as one of the most useful in a frothing sea of forums dedicated to the same subject. There’s no wasted words in here, no grandiosity or blowhardedness. It’s a real word. You could look it up. But don’t.
Always great stuff, Lindsay.
Thanks, Mark! I hope your books are doing well. Anything new out?
I agree with Mark LaFlamme–your site is a treasure trove of helpful information, and a great gateway to your fiction. Thank you!
Thanks, Dale. I’m glad the posts are useful!

Hi there Lindsay.
I totally agree with Mark. You are not just a talented writer, but you are a wealth of info. In a word, you’re “generous” with what you’ve learned and that alone is enough to keep me a loyal always fan of yours.
Thanks lady!
BTW, because of your article, I just finished creating my own Facebook fan page…and I’d long ago said that I never would do Facebook. The fan page (although I haven’t any yet) is a great compromise and I think will be useful to helping me promote my work.
Thanks, Khaalidah! Are you going to share the link to your new Facebook page with us? 😉
Sure thing. http://www.facebook.com/KhaalidahMA
