Day 33
“My #1 piece of marketing advice?
Network. And, by network, I don’t mean friend 10,000 people on Facebook
and spend all day on Twitter and LinkedIn, but really work hard to get to know
people in a real way.”
~ Erin

Having 10.5 thousand twitter followers is something worth
boasting about – but it’s not networking. Networking is about building
relationships. Have you been working on building relationships with your
following? Is there something more you can do to engage them?
Instead of constantly plugging your book online, have you
asked your following questions, or engaged them in any other way? Letting your
following see that you’re a real person that actually cares about them as an
individual is probably the most powerful marketing tool there is. You obviously
can’t send an e-mail to everyone who ever reads your book, but acknowledging
reviews, or tagging them in a thank you tweet, is an easy way to show them you
know they are there.
Marketing prompt:
Make a connection with someone new that you have already
been following or that is following you on Facebook or Twitter. Begin building
a relationship with them.
