So, I have to make sure going is worth my business budget. It's why I am writing---you're as good as your last book--and waiting for conferences in California. Have a great time in New Orleans!!!!<br /><br />Thanks for coming and visiting, CraigDj Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142457149659532479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840213685906004202.post-29462570698452254362016-06-19T20:41:59.395-05:002016-06-19T20:41:59.395-05:00Great post, DJ.

But for me, they're worth their weight in gold as vacations with added opportunities to network and catch up with old friends.Craig Faustus Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10977748649878766205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840213685906004202.post-69110797281749178852016-06-18T19:17:25.364-05:002016-06-18T19:17:25.364-05:00Thanks for coming by, Susan.

Marketing is so hard for me... as it is for many authors.

Found it very interesting and saw some of the books you reviewed. This article is so true. It's hard to get your promotion money back on book sales. I'm on book number 1, and another one coming out at some point, so I'm still trying a bit of everything, trying to get a "feel" on what works best. I'll be where you are at some point where I determine what to give up and what to do more of.authorlindathornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605805996356003012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840213685906004202.post-37902357191562415022016-06-15T17:30:41.054-05:002016-06-15T17:30:41.054-05:00It's certainly a never ending process.

I agree with almost all you've said--going to big cons is fun--but not so productive--though they do have readers and when I went I made a point to make friends with as many as I could, and they are still fans.Marilyn Meredith a.k.a.
