Hello, I join a while ago. Maybe posted a handful of things but now that I have a new novel out seems like this is the place to start marketing. Suggestions? Where do I begin? I read the rules, kinda think I might steps on someone's toes here. Your thoughts...

Welcome!  You can put a link to your book in your signature.  Do some posting and allow people to become familiar with you.

Welcome Norman. Vamore's links are a good place to get started.

 

[Daniel Leston]

Hello Norman.  Glad to have you with us, and very best of luck with your book.  The best advice I can give you is to pay heed to all the really great people here on KB.  Just ask. No question will go unanswered.

Norman,
Don't worry. If you step on toes...the owner will say... ouch.
I find if I keep my foot in my mouth, I don't step on as many toes.
Welcome!
Barb

Hey Norman - welcome to Kindle Boards!

 

[PJHafner]

Welcome Norman; I'm new here and to fiction too. The others here may be able to advise you better with getting started, but just remember to take it all in slow but steady increments...too much to do all at once. That's working for me so far, anyway. 

Enjoy Kindle Boards!

Hi Norman

Welcome to the boards.

[Norman]

Hey I want to thank you guys. I haven't read through or selected all the links but I was able to add two book covers to my signature, thanks again.

 

[Debra Lee]

You're doing great, Norman!

  Warmly welcome to KB.

  Valmore Daniels is helpful.
  Spend your time and read as much as you can and you will soon be familiar with it. Meanwhile, go to your profile. Then click 'Forum Profile Information' on the left box and fill in the blanks. But I don't know how they add the cover with link on the signature. Hope other will help or we will find it soon.

  Wish you all the luck and best.
