We live in a digital world where most comments are immediately posted, emails are received with in seconds, people expect a response to emails, comments and questions in a timely fashion. Often the same day.

Bravo for bringing up points 2, 3 and 4. I think publishers get caught up with production schedules and sometimes they forget about the simple things.

Great post keep up the good work!

Least it is a thought.

I haven’t grown enough to have such worries, but with hopes, this will be a great resource! Maybe I should start sketching some of our big bloggers!

:)

Great tips, as always. Not only do more ways to contact lead to an influx of legitimate contact with readers, but it inevitably produces more spam to wade through. Streamlining it to one or two contact venues is the way to go. Thanks!

thanks for the comment. Yes I do remember seeing your email and I must apologize for the lack of reply. I think it must have slipped between the cracks between Chris and I (we’ve been so inundated with responses, questions, ideas etc on the book that sometimes it’s a little hard to know who is responding to what).

Anyway – it’s a good idea and we’ll be working towards including more international links to different Amazon stores – although I should say we have a long list of things we’re working towards :-)

thanks for the comment

I know it musnt be easy, but recently I did sent you and Chris an email, advising on perhaps putting Amazon.co.uk links for the landing page for your book. As a UK blogger I for one didn’t feel compelled to buy @ that moment because I knew I was going to get a price for the book in dollars.

I didn’t receive any reply, even an acknowledgement of receipt of something like this probably would have been enough for me. I guess maybe you guys aren’t checking extensively the email address attached to the problogger book, but when someone passes along something as valuable as that – i.e. a direct customer “feeling” on why you didn’t make a sale, that should be grabbed with both hands, and actively encouraged – as its something that not even your Analytics package can tell you.

Don’t get my wrong, Im not having a pop – it just highlights the importance of actively checking *any* mail account you may put on the web, especially if you are high profile.

One thing I would like to do is something that Bossy (http://iambossy.com) does. She will refer to her readers in her post and link to a random commenter. Pure genius if you ask me! Linky love and acknowledgment. Something every reader loves.
