On varies Loops I have been on, I have noticed a reoccurring thread about what writer's do in promoting. Everything from Blog tours, Twittering, Myspace, and Facebook pages. One lady talked about winning a contract by promoting. She said for months she was everywhere, on all social internet avenues to the point she wasn't sleeping. But she won the contest and the contract however, she didn't have any creativity to write or to promote her own work once it was ready.
My question is how do you as writer's promote your work? It's something in the back of my mind as I am writing my current piece. As an Examiner, my articles get the most views with word of mouth, via email, Twitter, and Facebook. Should we get onto fan sites in our specific sub-genres and comment on things we research... How far should we go? What is good promotion, needed promotion to sell fiction?
