OH! J.R., That’s a great idea about special coupon codes to track and see where you’re getting the traffic from.
I also love the distinction: “What are they doing to grow their platform vs. what are they doing to try to sell books”. VERY good observation! Platform/repeat readers is where it’s at. FANS not casual rubberneckers.
Also, thanks guys for the shout out re: my interview post.
Zoe, you’re most welcome. Thank YOU for the great article! “… the Walmartizing of literature…” I love it.
Thank you Zoe. I follow a lot of people on twitter and kindle boards who have blazed trails before me. I’ve seen what works and what causes panic. There is no quick tip to make a book a success. It takes a lot of time and a lot a patience and even more hard work. It’s all about putting that hard work and keeping tabs on yourself to find out where it’s working. 🙂
And a whole lotta luck LOL.
Great to see you post Zoe. I’m off to read your blog. I hope to run across you in the web-o-sphere one day 🙂
