MARKETING TIP OF THE DAY
Never send out a copy of your book unless you intend to follow-up via
telephone, REPEATEDLY! It's not worth your investment to send off a book
and keep your fingers crossed. Instead, let your fingers do the walking
by calling each media contact 10 days after you send a book and media
kit. Then pleasantly (but persistently) call every 10 days until you get
an answer!
