Blogs for Books

Blogs are a great tools for authors and publishers. The blog is an extension of your book. Information shared on the blog should accentuate your book and more importantly, your writing and publishing talents. If you are planning to write or are writing a book, it is a good idea to start your book blog before publishing due date.

Connect your blog links to your social media sites. For example, on Twitter showcase your blog with tweets routinely. Using blog posts makes for great tweets. Keep it fresh with new headlines on your tweets from the blog.

Blogging is a continuous writing exercise to enhance your talent. Be adventourous and have more than one on different topics. I have three including this one. All three are linked to Network Blogging on Facebook which gives friends the opportunity to read your blogs.

Check out health topics that will help you manage your health care, and make the best decision for you on the Patient Handbook to Medical Care: Your Personal Health Guide blog. The book prepares you for your doctor visit, getting your medical records, routine preventive medical testing and what the tests help you find, and more. The blog covers timely topics on H1N1 flu updates, preventive measures, preventing medication error, tips on saving your health dollars, patient-doctor communication, doctor visit tips, heath care reform, and more.
