And proceed to scrap it. <br /><br />I think you're definitely right about consistency, I should set myself a goal of a once weekly, whatever I do. I find it so difficult to promo myself, but it is so necessary because how else do readers know we exist? I have a lot more hard work and thinking to do :-)Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550180019041691846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-2014074344935406722012-01-05T12:06:43.169-06:002012-01-05T12:06:43.169-06:00TY Delaney.

Even though there are over 1000 members, there's not a lot of activity on it. There's no promo allowed. <br /><br />Are you a member there? If not, it's really good. Tonight there is an advanced class on how to use Twitter. <br /><br />The authors there are always sharing their experiences, ideas, tips, and teaching classes. If you have an informative blog post every now and again (like this one), you're allowed to share it, which is a way to promo yourself. <br /><br />If you want to check it out, here's the link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MarketingForRomanceWriters/Delaney Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703253397603304388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-90184097973609846512012-01-05T11:02:54.541-06:002012-01-05T11:02:54.541-06:00TY Delaney.

IDK, I haven't done the newsletter thing yet but I've had readers ask me so I better get on it. <br /><br />I really enjoy blogging, its the one part of promoing I love doing. I'm striving to get better at writing and I believe your blog should be a reflection of how you grow as a writer and what you've learnedS.Lirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787307019842983456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-56994153445359167032012-01-05T10:57:01.605-06:002012-01-05T10:57:01.605-06:00I like the analogy you made by calling our blog ou...I like the analogy you made by calling our blog our home. It really drives "home" the message. <br /><br />I only have blog posts once per week. Even though I see the value in it, I've actually thought about going strictly to a once per month newsletter format and using the blog only for special announcements. I'm still deciding and looking into newsletter programs. MailChimp seems to be inexpensive and very popular and I'm told it's easy to use. <br /><br />Pictures are so subjective. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of porn on sites. After getting burned a few times on Facebook when I clicked on a link and landed on a page of naked men, fully erect, etc., etc., I've become more cautious. <br /><br />If I can't see the whole picture on FB, chances are, I won't click through. Even though it's not my personal taste, I would never complain, and I think it's ridiculous of people to do that. I take the attitude of if I don't like it, I stay away. Other people should, too. <br /><br />To further build on your analogy, why call the interior design police just because I like contemporary furniture but someone has decorated THEIR OWN HOUSE with French colonial pieces?! <br /><br />Just to show how subjective taste is, I participated in a blog hop where my site was labeled "adult." Now, you know me, so the only thing I can think of is that they had a problem with one of my book covers, which shows a woman in red lingerie. Similar attire you could see at a beach. <br /><br />Okay, I've gone on too long, which is proof that I really enjoyed this post and the points you made. <br /><br />Have a great day!! :)Delaney Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703253397603304388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-13723513864219295042012-01-05T10:08:25.826-06:002012-01-05T10:08:25.826-06:00Thanks Lee Lee for your input.

Usually when I read a book that I loved I will go to an authors blog/page. I like to check out their books and what they have coming out next. They can be very helpful to readers like me. I have been disappointed when I haven't found one for a certain author. So for every author who has one thanks:-)Leaundrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937750544655541550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033378840776537267.post-82453612101690428602012-01-05T08:33:19.575-06:002012-01-05T08:33:19.575-06:00TY Jean, Im glad I could help.
