Recently, I chatted with a publishing colleague that I hadn't spoken to in a while, and she said, "I see you everywhere." I took that as a great compliment!
One of the top goals for any author should be to gain as much visibility as possible. Book promotion is a constant process of getting your name, your face, and your book in front of your target audiences.
What are some of the ways that you can get seen every day?
• Be active in social networks and online forums that cater to your audience
• Post regularly to your blog
• Write guest posts for other blogs
• Post videos online
• Do virtual book tours and live book signings and events
• Post articles to top article directories like EzineArticles.com
• Speak at live events and teleseminars
• Distribute press releases
• Do radio and television interviews
• Seek book reviews in online and print media
• Network with your peers and promote each other
What are you doing today, this week, and this month to promote your book?

I've had people give me the same comment (re "seeing me everywhere") and I, too, take it as a compliment.
But, WOW!!! Is it ever a lot of work!
I've been promoting my current book like crazy and have been setting the stage for my upcoming book. It's a never-ending, but absolutely necessary process for any author.
