One of the most popular posts for Marketing Tips For Authors has been the Friday Marketing Tips Around The Net feature where I highlight 10 posts on other sites that I found interesting that week. Today, I dug through every link on these posts and found some of my all-time favorite.
This was a very hard thing to narrow down. Catch me on another day and the list may be different because there were a lot of great posts each week.
