I am always surprised when people say something won’t work. Been hearing this about Twitter, Facebook, and Goodreads for a while.

Good Money Gone Where?

Posted on December 30, 2011. Filed under: Blatherings, Marketing, Just for Fun | Tags: , , , |

Okay, I had a couple authors come to me today and ask about advertising and what to pay and where. Let’s clarify a few things. I am not one for flushing money down the toilet. Promotion: the act of furthering the growth or development of something; especially: the furtherance of the acceptance and sale of [...]

Just My Opinion

Posted on November 2, 2011. Filed under: Blatherings, Book Reviews, Business, Just for Fun, Marketing |

Okay, a funny thing happened to me the other day. I submitted a review to Amazon.com and it was rejected. You heard me, REJECTED! I was flabbergasted, flummoxed, furious…you get the point. I can’t even tell you how this has affected me. The worst thing is, I have no clear reason as to why it [...]
