One of the few areas growing in publishing is the Blogoshpere. While others are shutting down, worried that e-books or the economy will kill sales.. the bloggers I know are talking about bigger advances, best sellers and respect from media and publishers.
How to connect with Bloggers.
There are millions of blogs and bloggers. The vast majority are splogs (blogs set up to spam) or static, underutilized locations with a few posts talking about themselves.
These are NOT the ones to talk to 🙂
Instead, meet the bloggers. They love to congregate. There is a blog meetup or seminar every week in some cities.
This is how Twitter Revolution got started. I wanted to connect with bloggers to promote books, found them online, at blogger conventions and on Twitter. I started using Twitter just to promote other’s books.
At a recent convention, I met Murry Newlands. He pulled out a camera and asked me about my book. You’ll see that I didn’t have one in hand.
Murray did not edit the interview.. put it up on YouTube and I just grabbed th code from them to embed here (a simple cut and paste).
Now I’ll add a link back to Murray to thank him and encourage him to talk about my book and this site.
Watch the video and see how easy this is:

Twitter is big tool to start promote your idea. But more intresting are blogs than books. I prefer read online articles.
The key to success is to put your message where your audience wants to see it.
If you like to read articles, I have articles.. If you want to watch video, I’ll do a video, etc
