Is the readership worth the money? Larry Send a noteboard - 11/06/2010 01:05:50 AM
Very limited budget for ads, I believe. But certainly it's not worth dismissing. And no, I won't be bombarding people here with pleas to buy the book. This post, and likely a few others spread out and focusing on the Table of Contents, when the ARCs are going out and if any more contests are run, will be the main extent of my involvement with marketing at this site. Likely the blogger and podcast media will be more important for the money.
