I encourage you to check out what Jason has to say, especially if you’re considering a social responsibility platform (ie. contributing donations from revenue generated by your book sales) to help grow your audience. I’m pausing the generation of new interview resources for now, and am looking forward to evolving the direction and nature of future content based on interest & need.
Thank you to all for your participation and involvement these past few months!
As always, questions and comments are welcome. On that note, @Susan Hamilton, you raise a great point. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to pose your question to any of the authors I interviewed. If anyone has a comment to share on the topic of generating reviews & recommendations, it would be awesome to hear!
Best of luck!
Donna
