SORMAG 2009 Online Conference

Before I head to bed, it suddenly occurred to me, I forgot to blog about a fantastic online event authors and writers certainly don’t want to miss – The SORMAG 2009 Online Conference.

I will be presenting an Online Marketing Workshop on Friday, August 28th. I’ve spent most of the weekend updating a former workshop. So much had changed in a year!

Literary Breakthrough Conference – May 21, 2010

A month ago, I was invited to be apart of the marketing panel for a literary conference. I’m looking forward to stepping from behind the computer to share with authors from various genres. I believe this will be worthy event for authors and aspiring authors to attend. Thanks to Gwen of Cush City for the opportunity!

What are Virtual Book Tours?

I was honored this past week to be on Pam Perry’s Ministry Marketing Solutions Online Radio Show. Pam is the co-author of Synergy Energy: How to Use the Power of Partnerships to Market Your Book, Grow Your Business, and Brand Your Ministry. We talked about virtual book tours, branding, and social media, just to name a few topics. We agreed on quite a few things that authors need to commit to do in their marketing plan. Enjoy the archived show below.

Authors & Web Presence

Last night, I joined Tabitha Vinson on her online radio show to talk about how authors can create a Web presence. In less that 30 minutes, we discussed branding, using social media and blog tours. My segment starts in the middle.
