Marketing techniques have shifted from offline to online--think Twitter, Facebook, etc.
It is important to keep your information available and correct.
Platform building--link all of your online activities.
You will want to connect directly with readers and build community!
Some social reading Sites- Goodreads, Shelfari, Library Thing
Clifton's site, Filedby, is organized around authors
It is authorcentric and contains information on 10 million books.
It is a place where authors can control the information that’s out there, make it authoritative, and make it right.
Authors basically get a free webpage with different features—for a fee, you get further interesting features. Community helps build direct communication. For $99 a year, you can post a link that will direct sales where you want.
