A reader emailed me,
asking why I would promote
on my publisher site
when other authors don’t.
a) It increases sales
and
b) Because of the other perks
All the cover artists
know I’ll be promoting my story
so they take extra care with my covers.
All of the covers are good,
but mine are exceptional,
because the artists know it will be seen.
This goes for editing also.
All of the editing is good,
but the editing on my stories
is a tiny notch above.
I also get prime placement on the site
(the order in which the new releases appear).
My video game buddy gives perks
to his marketing partners also.
They are first people he contacts
when a special event happens.
They always get a spot
in the coveted Christmas e-flyer.
It is their schwag he gives out at conferences.
Treat your marketing partners well,
and they’ll happily market for you.
