Thought for the Writer's Day: How Can
I Find a Bigger Audience for my Book?
I check my site statistics every day. If you have a
website for your book, I urge you to do the same. I
don't, and can't, spy on anyone who visits my site,
but I can find out approximately where in the world
they are from and how many pages they look at. As such,
I usually know when new people discover this site and
come back on a regular basis. To all the folks who stop
by regularly, I'd like to say a heartfelt "thank
you!"
Remember to check the stats on your own site every
day too. It's market research for free. Also, I still
recommend
The Search
by John Battelle. It's a very readable primer on ways
to make friends with the search engines. In this post-modern
era, making friends with search engines is probably
as important as finding an agent used to be. But no
one appreciates that simple fact yet.

How Much Do You Read? How many books have you read so far this year? It pays to keep a list, especially if you're a slow reader like me.
