The best book marketing advice exists, but do you know where to find it? Would you recognize it once you discover it? Can you even act on such advice and execute what others say you should be doing?
Advice comes from people with experience,
training, research, observed knowledge, and items picked up from talking to
other people. Sometimes advice comes from instinct and the gut — it is
what intuitively feels right. Some advice comes from experimenting or from the
imagination. Advice can be deeply personal or universal in nature. You get to
decide and prove what works for you.
For advice to be helpful to you, several
things need to happen. You:
** Have a way of legitimately evaluating or
testing the veracity and accuracy of the advice.
** Are willing to act on such advice.
** Are open to trying out multiple sources of
differing advice.
** Try to customize one’s advice to fit your own
circumstances, needs, and goals.
** Don’t give up too quickly when acting on
one’s advice.
We know that what works for one or a few may not
work for many or all. We also know that people cannot act on advice that skips
preparatory steps or goes beyond one’s means to implement. Be aware of using
advice that is most applicable to your capabilities.
When it comes to book marketing advice, one can
read blogs such as www.bookmarketingbuzzblog.blogspot.com, as well as magazines, and books. They can take courses,
seminars, and webinars. They can attend writers conferences, join a writers
group or book-related association, or hire a consultant. They can talk to
fellow authors or pick the brains of publishers, editors, and literary agents.
There is no harm to listen to others. You determine when and how to take
action. Yes, action must be taken.
Now that is the best book marketing advice ever
— or at least that I can offer. Go get a second opinion or three.
