Darren Rowse always writes excellent articles and posts, but this one How to Get a Six Figure Book Deal From Your Blog I found particularily interesting. I am always looking for the latest and greatest marketing strategies, and the best, can often be applied to any industry.
Darren says:
“9. Trust that agents know a good proposal when they see one, but try again if you get a bad response.
Here’s how I got my agent: I bought Writer’s Market 2007 and picked out five agents. Here was my criterion: I only chose agents who said they weren’t accepting new clients, because I wanted someone who was established and doing well. And I picked people whose last names started with letters at the end of the alphabet because I thought other people who pick agents randomly probably start at the beginning, so people at the end must not get as much mail.
”
One has to accept the logic of Darren’s methodology in finding an agent, and the likelyhood of others adopting a similar method.
Therefore, with immediate effect, Phoenixrealm is being re-branded as Zrealm, and by the way, we are no longer accepting new clients.
