You may or may not be single, but you can still take this tip from the dating world: What do you do on a first date with someone you really think has potential? Talk endlessly about yourself and how great you are? Or do you listen a lot and have a two-way dialogue?
It's the same with book promotion. It's not all about you and your needs. Get to know your audience and what their interests and concerns are. Share some of yourself and your story as you get to know them better.
It makes for stronger, long-term relationships. And that can be very good for your book sales and career as an author.
