I realize this is probably the wrong time to make this sort of announcement, but I wanted to get it out before the weekend. If you've been following my blog lately, you'll have noticed I've been posting a bit about self-promotion. I'm pleased to say that I've leveraged it into a book!
Here's a bit from the press release:
It’s All About Me! The Published Author’s Guide to Self-Promotion in the Digital Age, is an essential guide to getting your work “out there” in this crowded Internet. Topics include:- How to become a Social Media Guru: It’s easy! Just call yourself one!
- Saying “F* You” like you mean it: The art of responding to bad reviews!
- Bad publicity is better than no publicity: Go ahead, throw that hissy fit! (See above bullet point!)
- It’s not comment spam: Use famous author’s blogs to sell your books!
- Use that e-mail footer: How to squeeze in every publication since you were a teenager on to the end of every message you send!
- The art of Comic Sans: How to use this famous font to your advantage!
- Free stuff: How to approach strangers on the street (or at a convention) and make them take your promotional materials, dammit!
- Plaster that book cover: Put it on T-shirts, tote bags, your car, dinner plates, and tattoos!
- Facebook invitations: It’s not spam if they’re your friends! Invite them over and over and over again!
All that, and much, much more! Order today! In every ebook format imaginable!
Of course, I have a cover to share with you:
I'm Publishing this free to the Internet now, so I can get the attention of a big publisher like [redacted because they're no longer in business] who I'm sure will be very happy to give my book the chance it deserves! In the meantime, I'll be attending conventions dressed as a character from my book. (Me, of course!)
