Musings on a Thursday

It's two days before Corned Beef Day (I don't know if I have any Irish blood, but I definately love corned beef).  And I don't care who wins the basketball tourney, so all I have is corned beef. 

March Madness seems to have slowed down the interest in The Book Reviewers Club, which is understandable.  Then again, I have not posted much on this blog in the past two days.

For those who wonder, there are many ways to get exposure.  I have been using some of the ways, but not all of them.  Let's examine what I am using.

The #1 way to get exposure is Twitter and Facebook.  I have been Tweeting, but I don't post on Facebook much.  Everyone I am connected with on Facebook is mostly my family.  And, yes, I need to increase the activity of my Facebook submissions.

The #2 way to get exposure is through websites such as LinkedIn.  Join every site on LinkedIn that interests you.  I am on more than 15. 

One thing to remember is that the people that you are the most comfortable with might not be the ones reading or buying your books.  For example, if I was writing about cars, my comfort zone would be Chrysler products.  I really doubt that someone looking for something about Fords would come rushing to my material.

So, look for people in your network who would be interested in your material.  I don't write Science Fiction, so someone looking for A Stranger in a Strange Land coming out of my pen would not find it.
