The Reluctant Self Publicist strikes again..

I've been giving this self-promotion thing a bit more thought this week for two reasons.  I have a small but perfectly formed following for G&P which is centred around my current place of work and I face the dilemma of how to keep them interested in the 'product' when I'm not there to bombard them with it in person! 
I'm toying with the idea of a twice yearly newsletter - at midsummer and Christmas - to be circulated by email or post.  (Only, my inner critic keeps muttering about me brow-beating my readers into following me.  I can't win!)

The second reason is because I suspect I really need some Amazon reviews and a few 'likes' on the sales pages to persuade people to linger and maybe even purchase.  My readers would be the perfect people to do this.  But I'd have to ask them to do it and that, again, feels like brow-beating!

I think I need a publicity manager!!!!!!
