A fellow author and friend, PJ LaRue posted this link in our BFFBC newsfeed on Facebook. Thanks again!

I definitely am with you about creating relationships and networking. I usually try to connect with the host on their social media if it's on their blog to make new blogger friends!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517838044983044293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-27450859819533217692013-06-12T21:45:30.391-04:002013-06-12T21:45:30.391-04:00I enjoyed your post, Donna.

Being an author and blogger...Great post and advice. Being an author and blogger I must admit I haven't really made work of contacting bloggers for reviews, what with writing and blogging and promoting/featuring other authors and reading blog posts from other blogs and reviewing books there is just no time left to promote my own work.<br />It's a shame that not many people who read a blog post actually take the time to let the blogger know they read and liked, or disliked the content. To me it is always a joy to find replies to my posts. So I guess you are right and I too value it when authors/readers take the time to build a relation with me as a blogger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-38172841217264999682013-06-12T14:44:27.920-04:002013-06-12T14:44:27.920-04:00Excellent blog post with great advice.Excellent blog post with great advice.Selena Robinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132601036601814024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-15298242376106704812013-06-12T12:35:04.030-04:002013-06-12T12:35:04.030-04:00Great post and excellent advice.

But I have only got there by giving them unique content, supplement the promotion for that post and have developed a professional relationship with them.<br /><br />It is very much the same with some authors and my blog. There are a number of authors who if they sent me a guest post request I would simply say yes. <br /><br />And guest posts work - I spoke to a friend recently who said their guest post on a blog bumped their sales up significantly for a couple of days - even on back listed books that hadn't sold for months.<br /><br />On the backhand of this - you can ruin your relationship with bloggers by not getting in your posts on time or not even sending them. If you are in writing to make money then you need business relationships and bloggers are a good place to start!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642995546117953499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-37969998600717079932013-06-12T11:50:11.073-04:002013-06-12T11:50:11.073-04:00Really interesting about the differences in how tr...Really interesting about the differences in how traditional publishers approach you - thanks for sharing!
