Permalinks: You need them to expose what you're writing on everything from Twitter to your Website


Lots of the writers who use this alternative review blog to extend the promotional value of their reviews don't know how to use a permalink. I each of them a little tutorial on promoting their participation in this blog, and--by extension--marketing in general. But I neglected to give them this information. I'll rectify that, but in the meantime, thought I should post it here for all my New Book Review readers, reviewers, and authors.

Here's what you do to get a permalink for any post on this blog or about anything else:

·        Go to the blog www.thenewbookreview.blogspot.com.

·        Find your review--the one you wrote or the one written about your book. Or a review of a book you loved reading that you'd like to spread around.

·        Click on the title.

·        Go to the top of the page where the address appears in the address window. It will be longer than the one you see above and include part of the title of your post.

·        Copy it.

·        Take it to wherever you want to keep a permanent record of your review/promotions (like your Web site, blog, etc) and paste it.

Easy as that. (-:
