I think Abingdon Press has hired Jean Wynn for my next book with their Quilts of Love series, and I'm looking forward to working with her. <br /><br />Yes, implementation is key and being consistent with it.

I'm definitely not that big-time yet, but I have upgraded/redesigned my blogspot (or should I say my beloved techie brother has!).<br /><br />I do modify my blog segments based on popularity. For example, I've replaced my Newbie Writing Tips Monday with personal reflections/video blogposts, which seem to garner more hits. I've also added a third day of blogging, which I try to maintain (and that was the maximum I could maintain!). The truth is, the more posts and tweets, the more people get access to your stuff. <br /><br />I love learning from writers who are a few steps ahead of me. It's a great and easy way to redesign a blog--look at blogs you love and make sure you incorporate those elements that work (like tab structure, one-clicks to twitter, etc). <br />Heather Day Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353914883176152555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-81110110922460424772012-09-14T11:14:56.361-04:002012-09-14T11:14:56.361-04:00JENNIFER, I think an issue of marketing is also fo...JENNIFER, I think an issue of marketing is also forming a trust relationship with the person who is offering the advice. Also, I've found that marketing consultants tend to be a super busy bunch, which is good! Means they are doing their job. <br /><br />Within Christian fiction marketing, I am most aware of three trusted sources of marketing consultation opportunities: Thomas Umstaadt, Jr., you, and Jeane Wynn. There are many sites giving great suggestions, also, like Michael Hyatt's. But the blogger/writer has to take the time to access this info and as you said-implement it. <br /><br />Thanks!Carrie Fancett Pagelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096954464239963966noreply@blogger.com
