Self-published and indie authors need to plan their marketing efforts. Yesterday I was over at The Independent Publishing Magazine with an outline for a marketing plan. Hope it’s helpful.
My thanks to Mick Rooney who runs TIPM for hosting me.

Since I hope to have a release date soon, I’ve been spending the last few weeks building Facebook groups and looking into marketing/promo items. It’s a bit overwhelming, but fun. Thanks for the info!!
Embrace the fun, Angela. Good luck with your novel.
With your book due for release in September 2013 the proof of your advice will be tested for real. In 2010 when I started writing I was told marketing would be the hardest part of the writing cycle and a distraction from the enjoyment of your creative writing. Hope all goes well. Alexander.
Thanks for your encouragement, Alexander.
Thank you so much for sharing. The generosity of authors like you has been one of the unexpected rewards as I (and we) pursue this mostly unknown path to independent publishing. My best wishes for a successful debut!
You made my day, Judith!
Great post Mary. Good luck with the launch.
