I have a blog and unfortunatelly not very succesfull. In his book, "on writing" from Stephen King, he said: "writers just like to write in a little hole. not more." Is succes not a question of chance more than selling yourself?

I've got a book (3 actually) and a website or two and a blog, and about to launch into social networking. Most of my sales have been person to person at fairs, festivals, rodeos (my books star a rodeo cowboy-bouncer on Austin's 6th Street- turned private eye) where I have had a booth, but now I see the light. Get a website, get a blog, get known on the net. Anyway thanks for the 10 step program. I'm going to work it and work it hard, and then I'll let you know where I am in a few months from now.

Michael Santoro Fri, 03 Oct 2008 22:59:54 +0000 http://www.publishingbasics.com/?p=485#comment-34776 Stephanie, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your article. Your tips are right on and authors need to become more Internet-savvy if they wish to be successful. I'd like to add that if they can identify a niche market based upon their book's theme and build expertise within that niche, their books will be viewed as a credential - which adds to their credibility. Keep up the good work and come visit my site. I'd like your opinion on my new book marketing program "Authorpreneur 2.0" which helps authors to use the Internet to brand themselves as experts. All the best, Michael http://www.proauthors.com Stephanie,
