What's your "thing?"

I read a great post by DD Scott, author extraordinaire and co-founder of WG2E, about having a signature "thing". Something you do that stands out as your voice as an author and business person. The "thing" people expect and want from you.

I am going to think a day or two about what my "thing" is. Until then read this awesome post and tell me what your "thing" is.

Day #14 of my 30 day marketing focus

Hope you all had a great weekend. I decided to not bore you over the weekend with daily updates as I didn't have a lot to report. I did sell 1 copy of Stilettos in the UK after a month long dry spell so that was exciting. Today I am going to spend some time on the Kindle Boards promoting my book and interacting with other authors.

Here is a good blog post on how to keep yourself motivated. I know sometimes I need all the help I can get.

 

Have a great day!
