Metrics, data, analytics. These are all related words that can really help authors effectively market. Matt Minoff wrote a great piece on Digiday, called "In Order to thrive, publishers must master their data." This means more than merely collecting data. It means having a plan, understanding what the data means, and deciding what actions to implement. If you want a solid … [Read more...] about Data and Analytics for Marketing and Automation

Guest Post: Mobile Traffic Statistics Inspire To Create New Businesses

Thursday, September 22, 2016 by Sabrina Ricci

By Calvina Singh Day after day, the same boring tasks look like they’ve been duplicated into your life by some kind of cruel tyrant. Get up early, go to the office, work hard in that tiny cubicle, return home late and exhausted. That’s hardly a life one can dream of. The problem is that it’s not just boring: it literally kills your creative potential. The alternative is … [Read more...] about Guest Post: Mobile Traffic Statistics Inspire To Create New Businesses

McDonald’s, the Book Distributor

Tuesday, November 5, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

I couldn't resist. When I heard that McDonald's planned to give away over 20 million books with their happy meals during the first two weeks of November, I knew I had to see for myself. So on the first day, I bought my first happy meal in like 20 years. To be completely honest, I was excited to get The Goat Who Ate Everything, just because it sounded like the cutest of the … [Read more...] about McDonald’s, the Book Distributor

Making the Most of Twitter Chats

Thursday, July 25, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

I'll admit, I'm not as active on Twitter as I probably should be. It's all very immediate, and I'm much more comfortable with blogging and emailing, and things where I can take my time. But I recently heard about a creative way that makes conversations on Twitter last longer, and I think makes Twitter chats a lot more valuable. My friend Miral, the founder and CEO … [Read more...] about Making the Most of Twitter Chats

The speaker was Jeffrey Sussman, president of Jeffrey Sussman, Inc., a marketing public relations firm in New York City.  The email I received about the event said that "Jeffrey has represented virtually every kind … [Read more...] about Writers, Readers, Publishers: Present Tense, Future Bold #3

What’s Going on With Readers Today?

Wednesday, March 6, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

What's Going On With Readers Today from Goodreads A while back, Goodreads asked publishers what questions they would like to ask readers. The results of the Goodreads survey from December 2012 are now up, and there are some interesting finds. I do wonder, however, how accurate these findings are. Yes, Goodreads has a huge base of readers, but the ones who decided to answer … [Read more...] about What’s Going on With Readers Today?

Dealing With Negative Reviews

Thursday, January 17, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

It was for the first book of my publishing company, a collection of flash fiction, and I had given the book away for free on LibraryThing in hopes of getting more reviews. Now, even though this was not my book in the sense that I did not write it, I did spend a lot of time working with the authors, and I was proud of them and the work they did. I also made sure the book went … [Read more...] about Dealing With Negative Reviews

How Readers Discover New Books

Wednesday, December 12, 2012 by Sabrina Ricci

A while back I attended an interesting webcast hosted by Digital Book World, titled "How Social Networks and New Media Are Changing the Ways Readers Discover New Books."
