Book Marketing Update: Bill Peterson on Author Promotions

Guest post by Bill Peterson

missions of fire and mercyMissions of Fire and Mercy - Until Death Do Us Part is being marketed by myself through several different social outlets. My website is http://www.missionsoffireandmercy.com. Within my site, readers can connect to my Facebook, blog and Twitter messages. All interact with each other and I blog at this website several times a week and add chapters and new stories on occasion.

In addition to the above, I am a member of the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA), from whom I have been awarded a Silver Medal in the Memoirs category. I also blog on this website as well.

I am also a member of the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) where I continue to sell books and get great response through word of mouth advertising.

I am a member of several other veteran organizations where I continue to have input in the conversations there through email. I also add excerpts or chapters from my book through my email contacts occasionally. I also sent out emails to all my contacts announcing a book sale for a limited time.

I attend social gatherings such as the Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans. I have been to two of those and plan to attend two or three more this summer.

There are two retail outlets that I frequent where my books are offered for sale.

I have done four speaking engagements to vet organizations and a church group. My plan is to do as many engagements as I can at several area libraries and our local Boy Scout group.

I also am planning to write to three different magazines to feature a chapter from my book.
