This turns out easier than I had imagined. Kathy Wheeler does a nice How-to on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSmgNVksHK8 and she mentions how writers don't have to wait for a book to be released to create your own video trailer using photos and designs starting for free. Check it out!<br /> Suzanne Cordatoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456536184016933556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-92200615538326002362014-06-13T18:14:25.117-05:002014-06-13T18:14:25.117-05:00I hadn't heard of Goddess Fish, many thanks!

I can honestly say I've gained new readers and fans. If anything, my outreach has been more than it would have been without the blog tour. I also use Facebook book promotion groups to promote my books. They seem to help. I usually see a sale or two after a "blast" on the groups, but nothing that's become consistent. If anything, for me, the big factor is "time" and budgeting the time to get out there and do the promotion. The promo itself is not hard. Finding the time to do it is the challenge for me.<br /><br />Smiles<br />Steph Burkhart - Award Winning Author<br />http://www.stephanieburkhart.com Stephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-11468890226904427662014-06-13T07:18:39.983-05:002014-06-13T07:18:39.983-05:00You should be able to get the proper timing where ...You should be able to get the proper timing where you can get the right stocks in the market.

When trying to reach readers for Lost Crown of Apollo, don't forget the renewed interest in all things mythological in recent years, thanks to Rick Riordan's Lightning Thief, etc. Your book might not be fantasy, but you can draw on the fact that, at least at my elementary school library, kids are checking out books on mythology like never before!Sonja Andersonhttp://www.sonjaandersonbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-9854220490962831802014-06-11T12:58:13.608-05:002014-06-11T12:58:13.608-05:00Good thoughts, Suzanne.
