Hey, this is one of the greatest ideas to promote books among readers. I have a blog on my site, and I posted a blog related to my books. I received a lot of responses from people. This works great, as we get the comment on our book from the readers directly.

Wow I had no idea so many people read blogs regularly. I guess I fit right in the crowd, which is odd for me – because I started reading blogs a little in ’06.

Very interesting statistics on the blog phenomenon. What I would also like to know is the number of blogs promoting books and the some of the top ten blogs by authors. This would help me as I have started a blog for my book, Create Your Garden of Eden: Change Your World in 7 Days Like God Did.
As a new author, I am very appreciative of your book marketing tips.
