Tip: In the Frugal Book Promoter (www.budurl.com/FrugalBkPromo), I show authors how to build contact lists of readers, editors, and others that can help them with their marketing efforts. One of the groups that they often forget to include on those lists are bloggers. Another is editors of e-mail newsletters (meaning people who put together newsletters like this one). That’s grassroots marketing, folks, and it’s an easy way to kick start a campaign and grow your network.
