Thanks, Natalie. Do you have a favorite blog tour company? With so many scammers around, it always helps to know who’s the “real deal.”

In reply to Betsy Ashton. These are all great tips, Betsy. You're so right about starting early. And using a blog tour company to organize your blog tour can really help you reach new audiences.

Thanks, Bonnie. FB is definitely cracking down on people who have “Author” in their profile name.

Thanks for sending me back here, Sandra.

One point about Facebook: using a personal profile for marketing is a TOS violation. You probably won’t have your profile taken down unless FB gets complaints. Not worth the risk to me.

If I do anything on FB, I’d rather separate it from my personal account anyway.

Thanks for the advice! Looks very helpful.

In reply to Kathleen L. Hawkins.

I’m glad you found the information helpful, Kathleen! Where you place your energy depends on your goals. Your situation is complicated by the fact that you’re writing in several genres, which means you’ll need to cultivate several audiences. Figuring out your goals will help you make important decisions, though.

Sandra,

These are excellent ideas. Thank you. I love checklists and guidelines.

Here’s my challenge. I have two ebooks (already published) to promote (a how-to and an inspirational book) and three more written and ready for final polishing before publication (all three books are close to my heart, a young-adult novel, a memoir, and a self-transformation book). I also have products to repurpose (two bestsellers from a few years ago).

I don’t “suffer” from too few opportunities, I “suffer” from too many. :-).

What to do, what to do, where do I place my energy?
