However, as a former print journalist I know that advertising revenue pays for editorial space!

Generally, advertising is where you pay for ads, and promotion is getting the word out there.<br /><br />There are opportunities for authors to advertise to promote their books, however, you need to choose your spots so you get the most bang for your buck (so to speak).Melissahttp://www.melissawrites.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661445706008045286.post-30453657528348451232014-02-18T08:57:34.667-08:002014-02-18T08:57:34.667-08:00I don't really care for advertising either, pr...I don't really care for advertising either, probably because I don't think I'd be very good at it. Unfortunately, we live in a time when at least a little marketing is absolutely necessary in order for our work to be noticed, so I know I'll have to get used to it in the future. Hopefully it won't be so bad!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03421361732978136068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661445706008045286.post-19263069844432716822014-02-18T06:29:29.590-08:002014-02-18T06:29:29.590-08:00I see a lot of young authors caught up in the adve...I see a lot of young authors caught up in the advertising drive to the detriment of their ability to spend time creating. They are distressed and driven to give interviews, go on radio shows, like and link and blog and twit and and when do they get time to actually write?I don't mind the idea of book signings and talks at schools but I would rather have a smaller percentage of the potential income and let some one else do the leg work of promotion. I want to write, other wise I would be in the advertising industry.CA Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847165518615193237noreply@blogger.com
