Does your blog need a mascot?

Step 1 in my master plan to start a blog mascot trend...

Come discuss your favorite mascots, or tell my what you'd choose for your blog.

This is the final part of my guide to digital self-publishing. I will be compiling all these steps into a free e-book for my blog-readers when I am done. It’s called Let’s Get Digital and is penciled in for release at the end of June.

Step Ten: What Happens When The Sales Just Stop?

Sometimes your sales just die. Sometimes they never take off in the first place. What do you do then?

Today's blog will show you how to look at your entire presentation in a dispassionate way, and reveals the greatest promotional tool available to any writer:

I am always interested in fresh approaches and new ideas. The whole concept of “free as a sales tool” is fascinating to me.

I’ve seen self-publishers use a number of different approaches, but what is most common is to make a short story free, or sometimes the first book in a series free, in the hope that you will lure readers in.

Lizzy Ford has a radically different approach, and she kindly agreed to be interviewed:

I have two. I did one last night as a photostory for creepiness when I was playing with light and a dolly rocking chair and taking other photos. It was too inticing not to do.

Tummy Trouble

And then this morning before therapy I posted about Letting It Rest. The time to stop working on your MS is when you look like this: :shock: or this: :lol:
I'm on Tumblr!

The blog died...but so did I...and now I'm alive again! OMG.
