Blogs...Does Anyone Blog?

[Brainstormy]

6. I quit

I blogged for a bit after my first book. I didn't find it particularly helpful in terms of marketing my book and I can tell you for certain that the time spent blogging is time you won't be spending on your next book. It really became a burden for me and I had to re-design my website to get rid of the blog. Facebook and google ads did help a bit. And although my book came out in 2009 I'll still have a Facebook friend now and then post something nice about my book which inspires a little flurry of other sales. You can also create a FB page just for your book. Take advantage, too, of Author's Den and Goodreads and the other sites that you can promote on without spending a fortune

Good luck with whatever you decide.
