Yeah, I know. You want to know who Harriot is. You don't know because he was a smart man but not much of a marketer. So here's what
National Geographic says on Publicity:

“Everyone knows Galileo was the first astronomer to point a telescope at the night sky. But like many facts that everyone knows, this one isn’t true. Precedence should probably to Thomas Harriot. What Harriot didn’t do was publish his observations. Bing first is important, but so is publicity.”

How to you do what Galileo did in today's world. Do your research or put forth your creative effort. Then promote using The Frugal Book Promoter (www.budurl.com/FrugalBkPromo).

Being frugal as a author doesn't mean "everything is free" nor should a author attempt to become a online marketing expert when it comes to frugal author promotions. Being frugal as a author simply means "applying wisdom" and "getting the most for your dollar".

It seems these days that authors believe or have somehow come to believe that the best author promotions and book marketing is free. Consider the following:

How many million seller books became million sellers books around free online marketing?
How many of the top ten selling books became what they are around free online marketing?

Just recently I was contacted by a marketing agency to market a particular author. The author has sold millions of copies of books, has a mass following in the millions and also the funding to pay for television programming and commercials. Yet here I found myself with a marketing project before me for this very author.

My point being is this. If as a author you believe that you going to market your book through free marketing by joining this site and that site coupled with networking with other authors in authors groups, clubs and forums. You are and have been misled.

You must find ways to professionally promote and market your books and this will require setting aside a marketing budget to work with. Besides I thought authors, authored books. I mean after all, you didn't start out to become a online promoter or marketer did you?

Let the marketing experts handle your marketing needs and as a author focus on writing, doing local book signings, attending book conferences and being a author.

With the economy hard hit and many people out of work many are looking for frugal marketing. The truth and reality is that less people are spending money. However, while some products are seeing a decrease in sales, others are seeing a increase in sales. Now the question is, where do your products fall into that mix.

Personally, I feel that there is a fear or maybe we could down grade that word to a deep concern with regards to the economy and sales. After all if one watches the news one can get caught up in all the propaganda so to speak. You see there is a whole lot of speculation, gossip, what if and fuel on the news that seems to always paint a picture and many times that picture is distorted.

Remember, the swine flu epidemic and break out that hit the news. It was the main topic on every news station with fears of millions upon millions dying. But as quickly as it took root, it just as quickly disappeared.

You might ask, what does the swine flu have to you with frugal marketing. Nothing other than to share that while many are walking in fear and the unknown, others are pressing forward and finding success. The people that are finding success are the one's that are pursuing it rather than feeding off all the fears, worries and concerns.

I encourage you to press forward in your bid of success. Don't fall into those places, rooms and feelings of hopelessness and defeat. Press forward and find creative ways to bring change that is positive. Become a pioneer that is seeking new lands and ways to effectively market your products and also take advantage of all the great opportunities that are before you.

It's a catchy word, frugal. However would you place a $20.00 steak in a old used microwave oven?

Don't get to frugal on your book marketing, otherwise your book will just become lost in the midst of the millions of lost titles and hype.
