    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigAugust 21, 2016

      Thanks, Alex!

  2. L. Diane WolfeAugust 21, 2016

    I’m a Pinterest junkie, so I’m hopping over to that one about increasing your book’s SEO right now.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigAugust 21, 2016

      Diane–I know *so* many people who love that site. I only use it for recipes!

  3. Margot KinbergAugust 21, 2016

    Thanks, as ever, Elizabeth, for these great links. There are so many this time on good marketing tips for launching books and making the most of sites. It’s always useful to have that information, and a lot of the ideas are fairly straightforward to accomplish.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigAugust 21, 2016

      Margot–They are..we just need to set aside time to do them (not always an easy task!)

  4. Anne HaganAugust 21, 2016

    I found the link on “Inside Citrix – Lessons Learned” to be a very interesting look at publishing a complex work of non-fiction with lots of graphics and diagrams. It was an eye opening look at how the other half lives for me, a strictly fiction writer…for now. Thank you for including it.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigAugust 21, 2016

      Anne–Oh good! Glad you enjoyed it…I also found it really interesting and it tweaked my interest in non-fic (although when I could ever find the time, I’m not sure…)

  5. M.K. (Mary) TodAugust 23, 2016

    Hi Elizabeth – thanks for including my 8 tips in your Twitterrific list :-) I’ll have to check out some of the others!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigAugust 23, 2016
