Social marketing for THE PURPLES

Step 1: Get the book and/or PR about the book uploaded to as many places as possible. Step 2 is MUCH harder: Surf around all these sites & message boards, make connections, do some helpful posting, reach out to book bloggers, etc. You have to be rather shameless, and that’s hard for me.

The number one goal still remains getting the book into the hands of people connected to broadcast TV/cable or film. *Cue The Impossible Dream music.*

Here’s where I’ve put THE PURPLES, in terms of online presence, in no particular order:

Amazon (+ author page/video)
