KatGirl_Studio Sad that I had to miss the last few chats due
to wedding stuff. #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012
JessieHarrell @patricialynne07 lurking is definitely
allowed. feel free to chime in as well. #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012
chihuahuazero @JessieHarrell Is trying to promote locally as
an indie author a valid strategy? #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012
wirdmonger Hello #indiechat feeling good I can drop in for a
change. -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012
adrianaryansc I'm curious why she chose inkslinger for her
blog tour company. :) #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012

MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell Hey - I'm here to learn. :-)
#indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012
susankayequinn I'm wondering about thoughts on soft launch
vs. "big" launches... #indiechat -9:04 PM Sep 18th, 2012
KatGirl_Studio @laurapauling most of it is done. Now it's
just the small things. #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012

thoughts on soft launch vs. "big" launches... #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep

MichWritesBooks @BiblioCrunch I'll check it out in my other
browser window. #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012
HeatherSunseri How long before launching a book do you start
publicity efforts? #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012

JessieHarrell @susankayequinn can you explain what you mean
by soft vs. big launches? #indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012
HeatherSunseri Put another way... :) RT @susankayequinn: I'm
wondering about thoughts on soft launch vs. "big" launches...
#indiechat -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012
laurapauling My question is how many launches can the
blogosphere handle? Are they losing their impact? #indiechat Unless you're well
known and big! -9:05 PM Sep 18th, 2012
LynNerdKelley Me, too. Here to learn. #indiechat -9:05 PM
Sep 18th, 2012
susankayequinn @HeatherSunseri For the first in a series,
4-6 wks out. For subsequent books, it depends... #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th,
2012
laurapauling Is it better to pay bloggers out there to
organize it or do it yourself? #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012
LisaCanada104 I just stumbled upon this chat, and my book
launches this Sat 22 of Sep #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012
chihuahuazero @laurapauling Personally, I notice launches
when my favorite blogs are apart of them, but those two cases were non-fiction.
#indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012
bethfred08 Just don't wait for the book to come out to start
marketing. Learned that one the hard way. #indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012
adrianaryansc Wondering this, too. RT @JessieHarrell:
@susankayequinn can you explain what you mean by soft vs. big launches?
#indiechat -9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012
JessieHarrell @laurapauling don't authors have to have some
sort of book launch though? how will ppl know your title is out? #indiechat
-9:06 PM Sep 18th, 2012
susankayequinn @JessieHarrell Soft launch=book release, then
buzz; Big Launch=buzz first, then release. #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012
laurapauling @LisaCanada104 Very cool! What are you doing
for a launch? #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012
Froze8 Also been super busy with the blog, got a huge ABB
this week, hopefully more authors will join! *hinthint* #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep
18th, 2012
MichWritesBooks @laurapauling Good question. #indiechat
-9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012
chel_c_cam @laurapauling I could NOT organize a tour myself.
It was one of things I was willing to pay for. #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th,

release! #indiechat -9:07 PM Sep 18th, 2012

laurapauling @Froze8 What's an ABB? #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep
18th, 2012
KatGirl_Studio @laurapauling I'm all for DIY, I think you
connect more with readers and it's more authentic. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep
18th, 2012
JessieHarrell @LisaCanada104 Congrats! what are you plans
for your launch? #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012
adrianaryansc I thought with indie books it doesn't matter
when you start marketing b/c there's no shelf life. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep
18th, 2012
MichWritesBooks @chel_c_cam So how soon before you launch
should you start the buzz/contacting bloggers? #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th,
2012
chel_c_cam @laurapauling Oh heck yes. I'm doing another in
October with the same host. Much less stress on me. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep
18th, 2012
laurapauling @KatGirl_Studio But maybe we'd reach new
readers with a paid tour? #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012
JessieHarrell I'm collecting all of your questions, so
thanks! #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012
EArroyo5 Great questions #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012
susankayequinn @KealanBurke Yay! Thanks for coming, fellow

although I know I should. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012
HeatherSunseri @susankayequinn Thanks, Susan. That's
interesting. And good to know. #indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012
KatGirl_Studio @adrianaryansc I kinda agree with that.
#indiechat -9:08 PM Sep 18th, 2012

#indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell Thanks, Jesse! #indiechat
-9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
bethfred08 What do you do when you release a book in a genre
you have zero contacts in? #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
JessieHarrell @adrianaryansc true to some extent, but you
want some buzz so readers have time to love you b4 next book is out #indiechat
-9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
laurapauling @ChelseaFine Thanks so much for coming on short
notice! #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
chel_c_cam @MichWritesBooks Depends on book. I didn't do any
for my first, I went two months out with my latest. Longer is better.
#indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
Battista_j @chel_c_cam @laurapauling Who did you use to
organize it? #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
KatGirl_Studio @laurapauling I don't know. I set up a 32
international blog tour myself. #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell Another to add: define 'buzz'
before launch. #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
susankayequinn If you want book bloggers to participate in
your launch/tour, they need 4wks to 2 months notice. #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep
18th, 2012
JessieHarrell @ChelseaFine welcome! we've been collecting
questions for you!! :) #indiechat -9:09 PM Sep 18th, 2012
laurapauling @KatGirl_Studio Impressive. #indiechat -9:10 PM
Sep 18th, 2012
LisaCanada104 Really, because I didn't know what to do, and
I have no swag to give a way yet #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012

really affordable. #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012
JessieHarrell @ChelseaFine right now we're talking blog
tours. ppl want to know why you picked inksliger for your tour. #indiechat
-9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012
KatGirl_Studio @susankayequinn yes. I did mine a month out
but 2 months would have been better. #indiechat -9:10 PM Sep 18th, 2012
MichWritesBooks @chel_c_cam So for a book I plan to release
in October, I should already be starting buzz? #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th,
2012
HeatherSunseri @susankayequinn So, you're saying big launch
for first in a series (or first ever, maybe), then go soft after that?
#indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012
SuttonShields I'm a newbie, and most of the time, I feel
lost x 100. Is this something all Indie authors feel? #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep

-9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012

1500+ people enter one giveaway and nearly 1k enter the grand giveaway.
#indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012

or at least one. I've done teasers as well. #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012

#indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012

awesome. she had far more connections to big blogs than I could've gotten on my
own. #indiechat -9:11 PM Sep 18th, 2012

late. What's the topic? -9:16 PM Sep 18th, 2012

is great. gained a bunch of new readers & return readers asking for book 2.

beingbold @aammyyss Right now our calendar is booked until
mid Nov, so I'd say at least a month. We can move things around but it's tough!
#indiechat -9:50 PM Sep 18th, 2012
Froze8 @JessieHarrell @ChelseaFine I would do that work
cheap to whoever found me first #dreams #indiechat -9:50 PM Sep 18th, 2012

Battista_j @Froze8 @ChelseaFine I have a friend who is a
photog--I get first crack at his models. That's where Moon Omnibus model came
from #indiechat -9:51 PM Sep 18th, 2012
ChelseaFine @JessieHarrell Um, yeah. Excuse me while I drool
on my male model... #indiechat -9:51 PM Sep 18th, 2012

MichWritesBooks laurapauling @ChelseaFine The idea of
writing a dozen guest posts scares me. That's a lot of writing & figuring
out what to write #indiechat -9:51 PM Sep 18th, 2012
cleemckenzie @LynNerdKelley Hi there. Coming in on the tail
end, saying hi bye! #indiechat -9:51 PM Sep 18th, 2012

MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell Great question. #indiechat
-9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012
Froze8 @Battista_j @ChelseaFine I wish I knew more
photographers, my friend wanted to be one which is where I have most of my
shots from #indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012
Girl_Who_Reads I hate saying no to authors b/c I can't fit
in another review. So thrilled when they ask for guest post, book feature etc.
#indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012
SuttonShields I keep seeing the word "shirtless"
and keep envisioning Alcide from True Blood. Just a random comment. #indiechat
-9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012
YASisterhood Anyone interested in doing a cover reveal for
an Indie, New Adult, Contemporary romance? If so, tweet, dm or email me.
#indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012
overdunne Seeing as I've really only done one guest post
(that would be yours) and one promotional post (@Tina_Moss) not much time. 1/2
#indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012
courtney825 I am starting an author interview series on my
blog in November, just to help authors gain a little extra exposure! #indiechat
-9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012
Froze8 @MichWritesBooks You can ask for leading questions :)
and do other things besides guest posts :) #indiechat -9:52 PM Sep 18th, 2012
JessieHarrell @MichWritesBooks pick easy topics for guest
posts. dream cast, soundtrack, excerpt, deleted scenes, etc. not that much
work... #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012
overdunne 2/2 but it's finding that time that's the
challenge. It's fun though, and I'd love to do more. :) #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep
18th, 2012
Froze8 @laurapauling Plan in advanced! Be prepared for last
minute changes :) #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012
SuttonShields @SPNHeather @MichWritesBooks @JessieHarrell
@Girl_Who_Reads Oh my! That is AWESOME! What a wonderful thing to do!
#indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012
ChelseaFine @laurapauling I'm not going to lie. LOTS. I
spend more time editing guest posts than I do writing chapters in my books. :)
(1/2) #indiechat -9:53 PM Sep 18th, 2012
beingbold Me too! RT @Girl_Who_Reads I hate saying no to
authors b/c I can't fit in another review. So thrilled when they ask..

KatGirl_Studio @courtney825 coolness are you look for
guests? #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012
ChelseaFine I'm really anal about making my guest posts
perfect, haha. So, I'd guess...1.5 hours per post? Give or take. (2/2)
#indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012
susankayequinn Wait, there's EASY topics for guest posts?

do?http://t.co/BhEqSggN #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012

alternatives. #indiechat -9:54 PM Sep 18th, 2012

ChelseaFine @JessieHarrell Hmm..that's a good question. It
depends on your usage of the photos and the photo shoot length. (1/2)
