	Marta Stephens - April 26, 2008 Hey Bint!! I'm glad you found this helpful. You'll get a similar result if you interview your character. It's amazing what he/she will say if you let him/her.
	bintarab - April 26, 2008 That's a good tip, Marta, and actually kinda timely for me. I've been so focused on the main story that I can't see the trees because of the forest; what I get out of your advice is to go back to the trees. Thanks! ~bint

	Marta Stephens - March 5, 2008 Hi Brendie and Sam, I'm glad this was helpful to you. I need to post the rest of them. ;)
	Brendie - January 18, 2008 I haven't got a web site yet, but I'm starting a course next Monday in the local college. So I'm delighted to read your article, Marta. it has given me encouragement to pul my finger out. Thanks.
	Sam Smith - January 15, 2008 Point taken, Marta. And I must say I both admire and envy your thought-out approach to this your first publication. I know that one of my own errors was to publish too many titles too quickly, so that - as in a supermarket - when spoilt for choice the prospective purchaser often chooses not to buy. That said, my readership like my waistline steadily expands but in no definable manner. All power to your planned approach. Good luck!
	Marta Stephens - January 15, 2008 Sam, sales are happening at a steady pace; both my publisher and I are happy with the results. Unfortunately because of the variation in the way booksellers around the world report sales, no one, not even the publisher will have an exact figure until the book is out of print and all sales are reported. Places like Amazon may report quarterly sales in a timely manner, however, bookseller "A" in Kentucky may have ordered a box of book four months ago and may not report sales until they're all sold a few months later. Although sales is a goal, it's not something that is easily controlled and will drive an author crazy to do so. As a new author, my focus has been to introduce myself and my work to readers�create name recognition and a following for the series. If I�m successful, sales will happen. Thanks so much for reading my article and for your question.
	Sam Smith - January 15, 2008 Impressive, but missing from the stats was sales generated by having the website. Do you have those?

Developing an Internet Presence: The Public Author

By Marta Stephens
Published: January 4, 2008

This is the first in a set of six articles based on the things I learned during my first year as a published author. The articles will outline a few of the things authors should consider in order to gain an Internet presence. I have a background in public relations and several years experience in project management and promotions in higher education. My experience has been in the area of campaign development, press releases, advertisement, graphic design, and event planning. Marketing my book took me into unknown territory, but being one who loves a challenge and is something of a risk taker, I embraced the opportunity. But even I had to admit that as my debut novel SILENCED CRY was about to be released in April 2007, I was a bit apprehensive. My hope is that in sharing my experiences with you, you’ll find some useful solutions to your marketing questions.
