Freebies For Writers: publishing

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.

Ok. So sometimes I'm going to just do a little research for you so that it saves you the time. I've been scouring the web and asking for recommendations on Cover Artist. People still DO judge books and ebooks by the cover. They will argue just how much a cover influences a buying decision, but most readers still admit that it does influence it somewhat.

I will more than likely continue to edit this post as I find additions. Hopefully, this will help you connect with some great talent to help you package your works of art in a manner that will attract lots of sales.
