025T – Loving Your Readers Via Personal Contact

In this second of two parts, I talk about ways to show your readers some love – because it's near Valentine's Day! 😀 You can:

• Ask their opinion, create a survey
• Offer a free autographed book to a random winner of those who answered the survey
• Ask if readers want to be on your beta readers team and/or your ARC team
• Create a private Facebook group or a separate email list for those teams
• Create a private Facebook group linked to your Facebook author page
• Talk to your readers! Reply to emails, shout-out in your newsletter
• Consider inviting local readers to coffee at a cafe near you
• Do a Facebook Live video, or a recorded video for your readers

I also answer some podcast listener questions near the beginning of the show.
