Do you think there's a problem with having negative feedback visible on an author's blog--in other words, it might scare new readers off to see something like the example you posted?
Not unless it's the only feedback there. If you've got one negati…
Participate in forums, and have the book in your signature. Once you've got a dozen or so posts in place (over the course of at least a week) you can start a thread about it, but if you do it before that you run the risk of looking like a spammer.…

The video was too long. I don't need to know every detail of Sabian and his wife and the cards, and ho hum, what's for d…
Even 1% is pretty good. On my regular podcast I get about one e-mail per 300 downloads.
Make it as easy as possible for people to leave feedback. You need a blog for the book (or at least an author blog) where people can leave comments easily. (If…
I grabbed one at random – chapter 16. Your intro is a list of reasons to stop listening. Random listeners don't care if you wrote it overnight or labored over it for years, or that you listened to it in your car, or that you might get it published b…

Favorite Quote:
"The great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man — that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense — has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading." - H. L. Mencken
