"Have you ever wanted to know what it takes to promote your own work? Or even how to market your book? It may seem like an endlessly confusing task, but never fear! Dorothy Thompson makes it all easy for you! At Pump Up Your Online Book Promotion, I learned everything I needed to know and a lot more. Dorothy guides you gently, showing you how to do things like syndicate articles, write a blog, do a newsletter all in the name of self-promotion. As if that wasn't enough, there are author resources and information that is invaluable to any promotion campaign. The sales for my book "Garden City" doubled after following Dorothy's advice. Listen to her, she won't steer you wrong!--Jamieson Wolf, author of Garden City, Electric Blue, Watching the Rose Bloom, Finding the Muse and WRITE NOW! Exercises for the Aspiring Writer.
"I discovered Dorothy Thompson’s blog right after I’d forked over a few hundred dollars for an online press release submission service. Now, I’m a Pump Up Your Online Book Promotion blog convert! Dorothy’s engaging tone carries a ton of useful tips. And what I like best about Dorothy’s information is she covers unique topics that I hadn’t considered – like syndication, RSS feeds, and more. I’m glad that Dorothy is helping me pump up my online book promotion!"--Rachelle Chase, author of SEX LOUNGE, Kensington Aphrodisia (May 2007)

thank you sooo much for such simple technical "how to's". You have no idea how difficult it's been to get this same information from other sources. I was finally able to add the feed blitz to my blog! Thaaaanks!!"

I thought we'd have some fun today. Pumping up your online book promotion can be hard work, but sometimes there are little gizmos and gadgets you can play with that will make your book stand out. Book promotion can't be all work and no play, can it?

post a commentDo you see any disadvantage to using an image that is not the cover of the book? When a potential reader goes to the book store, will he or she be confused, looking for this image instead of your book's cover image?
Also, where did you get this picture that you've selected for your poster? I'm curious about this because I'd like to do something with an image of my mc for Choices Meant for Gods (my publisher hasn't given me my cover design yet) and I'd like to know if my best bet is to stage a photo and then play with it in PhotoShop (my mc's eyes are violet) or buy something off Getty Images or what...
Thanks for your thoughts!
(Oh, and it is a nice, clean, pleasing poster, by the way. It gives a comfortable feeling to the ghost...)

Thanks for your comment, Sandy! I thought about putting the book cover up, but you have to look at it as it is...it's a movie poster, not a book poster...so instead I chose one of the frames from the book trailer I made for it that's up at YouTube to make it look like it's a movie. You can choose to put your book cover on there...entirely up to you. As for the images, I have an article up at The Writer's Life (look under the article about making your own book trailers) that has links to where you can pick up some copyright-free images.
Wow.... interesting. Too love movie posters at Hollywood Mega Store.
