Michael Card Interview Chosen as Best of 2009
I also want to join the High Calling blogs...just haven't gotten to it yet.
I decided to take a wait and see stance, but depending how it goes, I might withdraw later. Does this make sense?
Seriously, Real Live Preacher has a pretty hefty little network going, but I couldn't sell very many copies of the book I published myself. Lost money on it. Now, I did act like a major publisher - did it the real way and not through a vanity press. But I had to fork out for a LOT of copies. Hard lesson to learn.
I'd like to see you talk about what takes place in that hour a day.
Seriously, thanks for this information. I signed up as well (and am in the audition phase) but have the same concerns as LL, so I'll be looking for your answer.
It's a whole new world out there.
real live preacher, Gordon, everything here is up for grabs. I only ask that you mention where you got it from. : )
steve, you are awesome. For those who don't know, Steve Gibson is president of Gibson Direct, an absolutely incredible consulting firm that helps publishers with direct marketing. I'm glad you felt like I cut through the clutter. I worried some about the length of this post.
Heather, glad to have you on board! The concerns you and Laura have are good instincts, but don't worry. We wrote the legalese specifically with author bloggers in mind. Meaning, you can pitch and link out to sales pages all you want. We just ask that you not put "BUY NOW" buttons and paypal add-ons directly on your blog. We're a nonprofit, so we have to be careful we aren't used for profit.
That said, it is perfectly appropriate to link out to direct marketing pages. (And to be honest, those pages will work better off blog anyway.) Most writers have a brochure-ware website in addition to their blogs anyway.
Plus, I'm the one in charge of the community. So if we need to change the TOS, we can discuss that. I want to help you do your thing, I just have to be careful not to get used by others as a sales vehicle. (Not that you or L.L. would do this, of course!)
Can you set me up to join the HC Bloggers or do I have to do so myself? If you can, please set me up automagically...because I may never get around to it.
EVERYONE, rest assured we will not republish content from your blog! (Except in the normal way of quoting people you know.)
Charity, thank you thank you!
I started my blog for precisely the purpose you mention - to build relationships. I was hopeful that building a little bit of a platform might happen as a side effect. I have been amazed at the number of relationships I have now with people I've never met - but would go so far as to call them "friends." It's a fascinating world, this blog-o-sphere!
Oh, I'm interested in the HC blog thingy, but I think I'm still confused about what it is, what's required of me and if I'll even be accepted??
