Book Awards Can Make A Difference

Yes, I'm still languishing in the announcement that came out last week for 101 Author Tips and it definitely has a made a difference in perception for would-be book buyers. After sending out Tweets, updating Facebook, announcing it on LinkedIn and sending out a majore e-mail blasts, the accolades have poured in AND responders are telling me they are buying the book, right away.  Amazing!

Contest do have a way of putting people, places and things on someone's radar. They also act as social proof, somewhat like publicity. Contest winners are among the privledged few and are seen as standing out among their peers.

Whatever the reason people are taking notice of 101 Author Tips, I'm very grateful. The sales continue to mount.
