What turns me off from a new author is when she clogs my tweet feed or facebook page with updates every second.<br /><br />I have also bought several books based on a blog post because I thought that author was funny or insightful.<br /><br />That being said, it all comes down to the writing for me. If I love the book, I'll buy everything she's ever written...even if she's obnoxious on twitter and FB.:)<br /><br />As far as free stuff, that does not effect my buying power at all. <br /><br />Just a pre-published/avid reader's opinion.<br />Best of luck with your new book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-81454049083129322512011-12-22T17:44:40.298-05:002011-12-22T17:44:40.298-05:00Aw, you're so sweet to give a giftcard :-)Aw, you're so sweet to give a giftcard :-)Tez Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399027286593758485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-63436822634362116032011-12-22T17:20:42.444-05:002011-12-22T17:20:42.444-05:00I might have bought straight from a tweet... but n...I might have bought straight from a tweet... but not from an author I'd never heard of... Only from a friend or author I already knew.<br /><br />Marketing a book is such a daunting thing and I'm in awe of the authors I know who've been really successful doing it all themselves. **bowing down to Stephanie**Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-68298724980875705242011-12-22T16:49:27.590-05:002011-12-22T16:49:27.590-05:00Eileen - I'm with you but I find I'm runni...Eileen - I'm with you but I find I'm running out of authors and recommends. <br /><br />I need to start just trying more stuff.<br /><br />Fortunately DWT - gives me good recommendations.Stephanie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448686465587131952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-28920932861923201452011-12-22T15:15:21.005-05:002011-12-22T15:15:21.005-05:00It's rare that a book makes it onto my TBR lis...It's rare that a book makes it onto my TBR list from just an announcement or an advertisement. It tends to be a review or an interview that will spur me to take action. Unfortunately, those are getting harder and harder to get. :-(Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.com
