[…] Kristen Lamb’s Blog is well worth a visit. Her book “We Are Not Alone: The Writer’s Guide to Social Media” is on sale right now for $4.99 according to her most recent blog. I am currently enrolled in her online class on blogging, and found her teaching most valuable. Now I gotta run. Sending good wishes to all.

I agree. I’m tired of the constant barrage of buy this book or that book. I think on twitter its the worst. It’s a constant rain of “Did you see this movie last night…buy my ebook” or some other stuff like that. I understand and a self published author the need to press your book so people know its out there but there has to be a better way.

Great post! I have to say, that at one time, I was one who believed the hype. Now, like you, I’m looking for the best ways to market as a writer, not as a spammer. I HATE getting connections that start with someone asking me to buy their book. I think a lot of people have gotten so caught up in the hype and the need to “get out there” that they have stopped actually thinking about what does work and what comes across as absolute insanity–doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Can’t wait to read the next post!

Wonderful post! I can’t agree more. I’m not one of those spam toads, but I’ve networked with a bunch of them and a number of them are personal friends. They’re funny to watch, sometimes painful to. Yes, there does seem to be a bunch of marketing gurus out there driving them. Some of the followers seem to view themselves as real savvy. I just could never make peace with the methods. The funniest ones to watch are those that parade around “marketing” while their debut book sits as a partial draft on their computer.

Thanks!
