MARKETING THE BOOK FROM SCRATCH

I have been very distracted from typing my book's chapters into the proper format. In fact I have come to a dead stop as opportunities keep opening up to advertize the book on the internet. I don't pretend to understand how everything connects up, but all of the social pages seem to connect with one another. I just filled out a form for Google +1 to advertize "Legend of Kor." And that action connected me up to various search engines that I frankly do not even know about. But I know one thing, my profile and everything I have to say as an introduction to the book is now everywhere I pull up something that uses my profile. This is of course good news and I thank Google, Twitter, facebook, and this blogger company that publishes my blog for all they have done to help me promote the book and get the name of the book out there where the public can run across it.

Marketing. Seems like such a foreign subject to me. I always knew that the day would come when I had to deal with the promoting of said book, but I have never understood how to sell another person a product that they may have no desire for. Of, course, it is my job to create interest in the book and that I can enthusiastically do. I hear that enthusiasm and positive thinking is all you really need to sell a product that you strongly believe in. I believe in THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor. I believe that it may change the way you think of other possible people on other inhabitable planets. I believe that you will have a great time reading the book and possibly come to the logical conclusions that: 1) People on other planets may look different, having evolved differently under different conditions than we on Earth, but their feelings, their hearts, respond to the same forces that cause us to make the decisions and choices that we do and we all have the same ONE; the same singularity that created us as equals; 2) If there are visitors from the stars on Earth today, or if they should come in the future, their levels of technology are far advanced to ours, and if they had wanted to destroy us and our planet, they could have done it eons ago.

I intend to write letters to all of my friends and acquaintances telling them about the subject matter of the book and it is my hope that friends will tell their friends and a grass-roots movement will come to pass, and over a reasonable amount of time the sales of the book will grow. I am not expecting anything dramatic like being on the New York Times best-seller list, or gaining an award for "Legend of Kor," but I hope to stir feelings of joy and awe and a love for the providence of ONE in my reader's hearts, and I hope they have a rip-roaring time doing so. That is my goal for selling this book; I want it to uplift the hearts of all of my readers.

I am somewhat discombobulated today and can not seem to set my mind down to work. I will close for today and hope tomorrow will bring good news of the work progressing again. Thank you for your patience with my sometimes ramblings.
