As a self-publisher, you probably can’t afford to splash a big ad across the back page of the New York Times (and that’s of limited use anyway.) What is useful is connecting with people. Be genuine and you can share and spread useful information that brings good karma down the line. In this video I talk about Jeff Bennington’s Reunion blog tour. I won a Kindle, but I would have promoted his novel anyway. Here’s why:

Excellent video. I’m naturally an optimistic person, preferring to see the good in people. Only once in my entire life did I get slapped down for being “too nice” and it wasn’t a big deal anyway. The way I see it, it’s just easier to look for the good.
Thanks Margaret! I don’t think anybody can be too nice as long as you’re dealing with a reasonable person. Of course, there are a few people who are unreasonable. I’m targeting these people when my hunter/killer satellite comes online.
Very nice video and I have to tell you I enjoyed seeing what you look like. I’m one of those people who like to put faces to names even though I can’t remember the names well (not in your case, of course.) Great job and I do read your blog daily and will continue to do so.
Thanks Shirley. I’ll be doing more vlog posts from now on since people see, to like them. Easier to watch then read I guess. I promise I’ll keep them short and if people can’t stand my face I’ll switch to puppetry.
I don’t know what else to say but thank you. And you know, The Writing Bomb’s doors are always open to you. Whenever you have something you’d like to share outside of your blog just send it my way…no questions asked.

You’re welcome, Jeff! I might take you up on that sometime. One of my books has a tie in with school bullying as well. It’s one of my pet peeves/themes.
Oh, and for those people who are compulsive comment readers (I do that, too) click on the covers in the article to shoot over to Amazon and check out the reviews. You don’t have to believe me to know it’s good. Look at all those high rating from readers. It’s unusually consistently positive feedback.
