Tip

Expert marketers tell us that a person must be exposed to a product (and, that includes writing services and books!) seven times before acting on the suggestion. They also tell us that visual ads tend to work better than other kinds.  Is your book and/or service for writers appearing where writers and readers are likely to see it?
