This Saturday, I’ll be talking about Internet PR at my Gulf Coast Chapter RWA meeting.  I’m in the process of preparing my handouts now, and as I’m organizing the info, I’m kinda overwhelmed by just how many PR opportunities are available for writers on the Internet.  (Cause, yeah, if you look, you can find a ton of places to promote books.)

I’ve found MySpace to be, far and away, one of my best time investments.  Thanks to MySpace, I’ve been in contact with readers, booksellers, reviewers, other authors–it’s an absolutely fabulous place to network.

I’ve been considering getting a Facebook account, but I haven’t fully decided on that one yet–gotta see how much time I have available in the coming months.

I think blogs are also a great way to communicate and generate book buzz.  Doing guest blogs–all that requires is a post!  Simple.  And you get to “talk” with new people.  Easy.

I’m also all about Yahoo groups (and Google, too).  There are so many Yahoo book groups out there–filled with readers and writers.  One of my favorite new groups is The Haunt–a paranormal group that is always lively.  🙂

Oh, yeah, the Internet is full of opportunities.  And, ahem, that means I’d better get busy preparing my presentation!  Got lots more to write!

If you have a favorite Internet promo method you’d like to share, feel free!
