Today I bring you another whopper of a Book Marketing Update.
The internet seemed to explode with book marketing news this past week and as you can tell, I had a difficult time limiting the number of posts to include in this roundup.
I adored the email marketing post I discovered. There are innovations in email marketing and the post below by Mark Walker-Ford covers all of them.
I included additional information about the best time to post on social media. There are plenty of experts on this topic and they all seem to concur about when to add your updates online.
I really liked the information presented in Dave Chesson’s blog post. It’s a great reminder on the differences between ARC readers, beta readers, and street teams. Don’t miss it.
Enjoy the posts below and have a good weekend.
