Dan Alatorre’s blog post is highly interesting and holds some valuable information. Definitely worth re-blogging. 🙂
There’s even MORE shit I have to do?
While you are building (or expanding) your platform, it’s a great time to polish, edit and add or delete whatever you want added to or deleted from your book. Plus, a lot of the time we have to make choices about what the blurb will say and what the cover needs to look like. Bouncing that stuff off a bunch of Facebook author page friends or Twitter followers or Blog subscribers is a great way to see what the feedback is – and spend no money to find out.

Thanks again for the assist and for the kind words!
