Here I am Reading in My Bathtub

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

UCH--Banner120x600Gasp! You weren’t expecting a picture to accompany that headline were you? I just enjoy reading in the bathtub: It sure beats doing it while showering. Okay, so I’m lying. I’m actually typing on my laptop but I was reading a literature book before that. But while relaxing in the bath and reading my book I started wondering why people read? I thought it worth a post.

Conversational Hypnosis is Awesome!

Why do you read? Obviously, a person reads a fiction to enjoy a story and another reads a non-fiction to learn more about the topic. But there is one more possible motivation for reading and that is one reason why self-published books have such a difficult time gaining notice. Many people read so that they have something interesting to discuss with others who have read the same literature book. To accomplish that objective, the reader has to choose a popular book, even if it is one that reviewers have panned.

So I wonder, while topping up the tub with hotter water, how could self-published authors tap into this tightly held market? The best book store shelves are all co-opted to big publishers and the online book sellers cater to showing off the best-sellers too. Giving a book maximum exposure and publicity implies to readers that ‘a book might not be any good but at least many other people have bought it too and so readers can share a commonality of complaining about what an over-hyped and poor literature book it was.

Oh well. For now, all I can do is relax in the hot water, wait idly Bye and wish This self-published Book promotion inequality will change some day. And of course I’m wet and waiting for someone to Click My Lit.

literature book promotion for self published authors

“Only sell what you are sold on.”

160x600-1Those are good words to live by. I’m sold on self published authors and I’m sold on literature book promotion. I’m also sold on one twitter self promotion tool and I want to share it with you.

Tweet Adder Twitter Self Promotion Software

I use TweetAdder promotion software myself to manage my Twitter following. TweetAdder is why ClickMyLit has a following of nearly 4000 after such a short time. I intend to keep using TweetAdder to take me up into the 10′s of thousands to enable me to give you self published authors even better free literature book promotion services.

Self publishing implies that the self published author will also be responsible for self promotion of their own self published literature book. But self promotion doesn’t need to mean spending hours and hours on twitter to seek out followers. TweetAdder can take on that task for you.

Erin gives Tweet Adder two thumbs up.

I’ll finish this post by re-stating the opening line – “Only sell what you are sold on.” I am certainly sold on on TweetAdder and I’m proud to sell it to self published authors to assist in the arduous but rewarding task of self promoting a self published literature book. (With 0clickmylit‘s no strings attached assistance)
