One of the first things I learned when I got serious with my writing was that writers attract other writers - like magnets.  I don’t know exactly why that is.  I can only guess that it has something to do with people liking to associate with kindred spirits.  Or it might just be that misery loves company. . .  I’m not sure.   But one thing I am sure of is that Squidoo is a great place for authors to promote their books – for free - and we the great Giant writers of Squidoo should get the word out and make sure they know it.

Marketing books can be difficult and sometimes very expensive.  Learning about a place where an author can grab some free book promotion is always greatly appreciated.

One good way to point out the power that Squidoo.com has for authors is to tell them about Squidoo’s founder, author extrordinaire, and Giant lensmaster  Seth Godin.  Seth promotes his books, which include The Dip and  Meatball Sundae, with lenses at Squidoo.   

You might also want to tell the authors you meet that books were the top selling product category on Squidoo for the year 2007.

Either way, as you come across other writers, and believe me, you will, during your travels online, or on land,  just be sure to tell them about the great opportunity Squidoo offers writers for marketing their books.  

If you’re a Squidoo lensmaster who’s authored a book and made a lens about it please leave us a link.  We’d love to see it!
