So… I was sitting here wondering what the bloody hell to blog about this week when it suddenly hit me.

Self promotion.

Which is a necessary evil. Especially when you’re e-published like me.

Hell, I’m still not sure what I’m doing when it comes to self promotion so you know what? I’m like Indiana Jones. I make it up as I go.

I think self promotion is a vital part of keeping your sales up as an e-published author. And I’m a big fan of epub because (1) you get your name out there and (2) you get to keep your title and (3) if you can get your foot in the door with a good editor, you can usually stay published.

Is there a method to my madness? Possibly. Either that or I’ve had one too many Cosmopolitans. What I have I done to keep my name out there, you may ask?

I blog. A lot. And at several places. THIS is one of them (ahem, have you added us to your favorites yet? If not, WHY not?). I also blog at my own place daily and I’m a freelancer over at ShoeIQ on Mondays.

Okay so that was a bit of shameless self promotion - but hey, you read it right? And now you’re thinking that maybe you want to check them right? Maybe? Humor me. ;)

Anyway - blogging and commenting on blogs is a vital part of keeping yourself active in the online community as well as keeping yourself visible. More than likely, you’ll get hits back to your own site simply by commenting on other blogs. And if it doesn’t happen right away - don’t despair. Just keep on keeping on with the commenting on blogs and you’ll get the return hits.

Of course, I should really take my own advice. But when working and mothering takes over, it’s hard to find that time to hit all the blogs I want to. But I’ll get there. Eventually! 

In the meantime… have you visited your favorite blogs today? ;)
