My apologies to Charles for my leaving his nice neat and clean blog in tatters and covered in food crumbs and banana skins – but ever the Gentleman, he just smiled the whole time I was there – at least I THINK it was a smile… it seemed to stay on his face a long time…mmmm… 😀
(Today is a post from Chris the Storyreading Ape. Enjoy and check out his site.)
Author Guest Post Etiquette
My thanks to Charles for inviting me to discuss Guest Author Etiquette (although, an APE discussing etiquette does seem a bit odd, however, since there’s no food involved let’s give it a try and see what happens…
First, there is the obvious question from authors with their own blogs all nicely set up to tout sell their own books…
“WHY should I promote other authors and their books on my blog – I want people to buy and review my book(s)?”
The Answer?
By featuring other authors and their books on your blog, it will bring new visitors and followers to you; and your books (which are probably on display somewhere nearby, e.g., in widgets showing the covers, embedded with the purchase links, on the column beside the article)
