A must-read post by Angela Ackerman
Posted on October 12, 2015,
on Jane Friedman’s blog is one of the best blog posts I’ve read in like forever.
I understand the importance of connections. But where do I make the right ones?
How do I find who my target audience is?
Angela gets specific and provides links to get us started.
At our house, ask a question and the answer is automatic. “Google it.” But now the question is “Google what?” Angela explains how to expand your search to reach the right targets. 
Okay, now how about Soovle it?
This website takes it to a whole different level. Thank you Angela!
I’ll add one more tip I use, Twitter search. You’ll be surprised how effective Twitter is.
Now go forth and hit the bullseye!

I like this. I think the key the author hit upon is being genuine. It’s time consuming, and not the quick process we tend to gravitate toward, but I think worth it on a deeper level for so many reasons.

Found thiis today on Jean Cogdell’s blog, jeanswriting.com. It’s a guest post on Jane Friedman’s site, so you can be sure it’s good. It addresses something that’s been plaguing me since I republished my horse-racing mysteries: how any book can stand out in a daily barrage of dozens of titles spammed (it feels like) at random. Targeting markets has made more sense to me from the start, and this article provides some specific steps to get that done. Let me know if you have any additional ideas!

Terrific, Jean. This is exactly what I’ve been thinking: Those spam marketing emails bury individual books in the flood. I’ve been trying to think how to locate people who might like action-heavy horse-racing mysteries like my repubbed books, and this site showed me a lot of new ways to reach that audience. Great post!
