This Week in the Blogs, January24 – 30, 2015

by Joel Friedlander on February 1, 2015 1 Comment

Got some great articles for you to read this week about giveaways, copyright, finding foreign audiences for your book, being a successful book blogger and editing. Lots of interesting information for self-publishers. So, try to find time to read them, maybe before the game starts? I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

Jane Friedman on Jane Friedman
The Strategic Use of Book Giveaways and How They Can Increase Earnings Potential
“Over the last few months, I’ve observed a lot of chatter regarding the use of giveaways, especially for indie author book marketing and promotion.”

Katherine Pickett on Indies Unlimited
Copyright Tips and Tidbits: How and When to Register, How to Format Your Notice, and What Not to Do
“Self-publishers, take note: While it’s true that you hold an inherent copyright to your work just for the fact that you wrote it, should anyone try to infringe on your copyright you will be best served by registering with the US Copyright Office (www.copyright.gov). That may sound intimidating, but it is actually a fairly straightforward process.”

Penny Sansevieri on Author Marketing Experts, Inc.
Amazon Hack: Get Your Book into the Hands of an International Audience
“The international book buying market is really growing. Are you taking advantage of it? If you’re not, you should be, and here’s a quick how-to to guide you and your book into more foreign sales.”

Nina Amir on How to Blog a Book
3 Mistakes to Avoid for a Successful Book-Blogging Venture
“When I created this site and began blogging my book, I became a guinea pig. I had not seen my idea put into action by anyone else, but I felt sure it would work. I was the test subject. As such, I learned from my mistakes, but you don’t have to do that.”

Tom Bentley on Writer Unboxed
Editing, Uhh! What Is It Good For?
“I’m closing in on finishing a book about how to see as a writer [note: wear glasses], and there’s a little section on editing in there, from which some of this is excerpted and massaged.”

The Self-Publisher's Ultimate Resource Guide

Looking for Help?

Do you need to find editors, designers, or other people to help you get your book produced, published, and promoted with professional results? Grab a copy of my new book, it has over 850 curated and verified links to the people and companies you’re looking for.

Hey, we’ve already done the hard work for you. It will save you hours of looking and lots of frustration with its 33 easy-to-follow categories. Details are here: The Self-Publisher’s Ultimate Resource Guide.

The response to this book has been incredible, because it fills a real need. Here’s what I mean:

“Most authors are excited about the promise of self-publishing—until they actually try to do it. Then they quickly realize they will need a team of professionals to prepare, publish, and promote their book. And that’s where they get stuck. They don’t have the connections. That’s where The Self-Publisher’s Ultimate Resource Guide is a life-saver. This is the missing link that will enable authors to capitalize on the self-publishing revolution and become captains of their own literary destiny. I highly recommend it.”
—Michael Hyatt, New York Times Bestselling Author and former CEO, Thomas Nelson Publishers

“An essential reference to the best publishing resources for every self published author. Highly recommended!”
—Mark Coker, Smashwords founder

“Independent authors need a team to help create a fantastic finished product, and finding the right people can be a challenge when you first start out. This book will help authors to locate professionals to edit, publish and market their work – helping them to stand out in the crowded marketplace.”
—Joanna Penn, TheCreativePenn

“Joel Friedlander is the Neil DeGrasse Tyson of self-publishing.”
—David Henry Sterry, bestselling author of The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published & cofounder of The Book Doctors

Why?
"Writers change the world one reader at a time. But you can't change the world with a book that's still on your hard drive or in a box under your bed. This blog exists to help you get that book into people's hands."
