I am creating a series of short podcasts based on the book marketing and public relations series and I am beginning with some recordings I made for radio that are still relevant today and will lead into the rest of the series in coming weeks.
Last week I asked the question Who are you writing your book for? Readership
This week – Creating online Watering Holes – Blogging Part One.
Blogging is one of the watering holes where you can show off your writing talent and establish you presence online… I ask several questions about your blog that should be in place to make access to your posts and to share them effective.
Delighted to promote authors for FREE please see for details: Smorgasbord Cafe and Bookstore
And the new: Smorgasbord Children’s Reading Room
I am an author too and here are my current books available on Amazon, and Smashwords. I have also included some of the reviews for the books on Amazon and by bloggers. The icing on the cake..
Amazon: Amazon US – Amazon UK: Amazon UK – More reviews : Goodreads
My latest book is a collection of poetry and was published on July 19th 2021
More details on my books and reviews: Sally’s books and reviews 2021

It was lovely to hear you and it was clear.
The answer to some of your questions were ‘yes’ while a few ‘no’s for me to action.
I recently had someone impartially look at my website which also helped.
(I’ve often wondered what makes a blog a blog? – I write articles under ‘blog’ categories so I suppose that is it?)
Anyway good listening.

Thanks very much Jaye delighted you enjoyed…I have gone through the podcast and have got stuck on finding the reference to ‘good resource page’ if you have time perhaps you could listen again and pinpoint the time in the recording when it occurs.. sorry to put you through it again lol…hugsx

I will… I couldn’t make out the last word, but you were saying that it’s where people can leave reviews. You had reached the part where you were listing all the things that should be on our menu bar…
