The weeks seem to go by so quickly, don’t they? And, here we are again, with more great articles to share with you on writing, marketing, blogging and e-book sales. Hope you can find time to check them out.

Nick Thacker on Write Hacked

“When you’re ready to build your author website, there are some key decisions staring you down. The first, and the biggest, is to choose a web platform. If you’ve been researching your options, you might have heard that WordPress is the way to go. After all, it has tens of thousands of themes, plugins, and developers ready to help you create a feature-rich website that pixel-perfectly matches the one in your mind’s eye—and it’s free! How can Squarespace possibly compete with that?”

Dan Blank on We Grow Media
3 Common Marketing Fallacies That Writers Need To Be Wary Of
“Today I want to cover three common marketing fallacies that I see all the time. These are things I see that bump writers off track, and tend to leave them overwhelmed.”

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."
