Can anyone give me some advice about using the internet to promote and market myself as a writer and educator? I have had a published book for five years and need to get more focused with on-line marketing. I do know how to do free search engine submission and when I do the book sales pick up some. I do not know how to tag words. etc. When I first published I paid someone to do on-line promotion and for awhile my book was on sites all over the world. I do not even understand how that happens. I am now writing a new psychology book, "The Biology of Infant Depression; the Root of Human Melancholoy". (not completely happy with this title but it will do for now).
I have had offers to blog for other sites but that is not how I want to spend my energy. I have lots to say. How do I set up my own blog? I have no money to pay to do this, and need to be getting paid by readers. If there is someone capable of assisting me in doing this I would pay you a commission.
For instance; I just went to a Sierra Club retreat/work group. I want to write a blog about the issue of the environmental impact of a consumer-based economy.
