Tony, I just retweeted this roundup. I love what you do on Fridays. Saves me lots of time doing it for myself. You always have something I need in the moment. Maybe that has something to do with the universe knowing what we need. Or maybe it's YOU. (-:

I hope many of your readers will sign up for my newsletter when they check out the article on the new amazon perk for Blogger. I mention what you do for authors in it often.

Best,
Carolyn Howard-Johnson

What people are saying about our free marketing video tips

Let me just tell you... Your archive tip on linking a photo to another page where people can buy your book was so incredibly helpful and amazingly clear that you now have a real fan. SO smart to take away the fear that so many have of HTML. I followed it to the letter and posted a link on my blog today. Have a look. It's all because of you.
