Excerpt from this week’s podcast “How to Get Your Book Selling As Quickly As Possible”

Q: Monica, you’re an avid blogger, and you use your blogs to promote your books. How do you do that?

A: When “Write Better, Faster” came out, what I did to promote that book … One thing in my favor was that it was just a really timely topic, and nobody had really written about that subject up until then. The book is about writing speed. I wanted to promote it to the writing community, and I didn’t really have an audience in that community.

What I did was to pull out some of the frameworks from my book. For example, one of the things I just talked about was my step one, which is that you’ve got to know what you write before you write it. And so I pulled out that framework, and I picked something very popular. You can do this yourself. Pick something popular in the media. For example, it could be, “Sex and the City,” the really popular TV show. It could be “Game of Thrones.” What I ended up picking was Harry Potter, and I decided to use that framework to show how to outline your book in more detail before you write it. Then, I decided to use the Harry Potter examples in the blog post.
