Marketing Update

Some of my marketing efforts have gotten some attention for my book and my blogs.

Lowering the price of Long Road Full Speed Ahead to $1.99 to celebrate the release of Zombified sold one copy. That wasn't really enough to get excited about. I am excited about it though, because I gained a new reader.


I am getting more into using LinkedIn to connect with others and post blog updates and news. Here is my profile. I have been re-vamping all of my profiles from Twitter to and other social media network so that they are uniform and all have the information people need to find and contact me.


Traffic Adbar has been a site I have used on occasion to bring viewers to my blog. It really doesn't do much but let people see it. I have it attached to my Long Road page in the hopes that some people who see it will purchase the book.



I signed up and put myself in the author's database here - http://authorsdb.com/ and I am waiting for confirmation that they accepted my listing. Oh they just did!! - http://authorsdb.com/authors-directory/1852-emily-walker 
I am going to write some press releases today and send them out to different journalists. I also plan on putting the prologue and first chapter on Wattpad to give some new readers a little taste. 
I have to go to work now that the snow has kind of melted. Thanks for reading, and I will keep you updated.
