I decided to have buttons made (the ones with pins on the back) and I gave them out to friends, family and colleagues to wear around. The folks at Buttonworks took my cover art and turned it into cute rectangular buttons, and they were super cheap!

I have a <a href="http://whoaresikh.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">blog</a> and profiles at Twitter and Facebook but my most of the audience/followers belong to a particular genre - Sikh Religion because of my blog. Do I need to start another blog or will putting up a separate page regarding my book will be sufficient? Please tell me how to get my book into the libraries.

I'm happy to see that I've done much of this already so i know I am on the right track, given the fact that your advice has never steered me wrong. Thank you. This is a great enhancement for my marketing plan. There is so much advice out there that does not speak to me at all. I'm glad I landed right here when i did.

I'm thrilled to have found you. My book will be released Fall of 2009, and I'd like to have ten marketing ideas in place and roll one out every 6 weeks or so. I'm most excited about creating a bonus gift e-campaign and looking for fabulous people in the business/customer service arena to include. Would love your thoughts about doing it effectively.

A lot of bloggers get book deals because they've built up a community to market to. Thanks for commenting. Steve, things have already changed a great deal.
