Here we go with another quick trip around the net with some great marketing tips from others who know their stuff. Bookmark 'em, file 'em, or just come back here often to look 'em up when you need them. And if you leave a comment, tell them that your friend Tony Eldridge over at Marketing Tips For Authors sent you by to say "Hey."
But first, I want to invite you to stop by a post that I was invited to submit at Book Marketing Maven by Dana Lynn Smith. The title: Promote Your Book with Testimonials and Endorsements. After you read the article, look around Dana's site. She has some great tips to help you market your book.
Now, on to our trip around the net!
