Get With It! Marketing Your Books in 2012

This post is all about ideas on how you can become a better marketer when it comes to your books and products.  In addition, I'm throwing in some links for other "business/ finance" type books that I believe would be helpful to other writers.

What are your goals for 2012. 
Production is one of mine.  So far I'm off to a good start.  THE COUNTERFEIT was launched Dec. 13th and the first book in the DO IT LIKE A PRO: EASY BALLOON DECORATING FOR THE NON-PROFESSIONAL was launched 1-1-12! (It made two bestsellers lists on Amazon today!) I also have the 2nd book in the DO IT LIKE A PRO series DO IT LIKE A PRO: EASY BALLOON ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE NON-PROFESSIONAL ready to release. 

Please share in the comments section and I hope that you are enjoying the blog. Please share it with your friends.

Free Resource for Some Computing in the "CLOUD"

I have had the miserable experience of losing valuable information on both an SD card and an External Hard Drive.   Now, I'm a little paranoid about my data. 

When it comes to my WIP I worry as we all do about losing all of my hard work. 

For the last several months I've been using an online venue called Drop Box.  It enables me to sync my selected files across my three computers and always have the most recent changes on whichever computer I decide to work on.

I hadn't even thought about it until this morning when I responded to a thread about mobile computing using a laptop, but they offer 2  GB of free storage.

You can check them out by going here http://db.tt/OsQV0n3

I am very pleased with their service.
