Last year one of my friends was trying to figure out where a sudden spike in her sales had come from. It turned out that an extremely popular musician had mentioned she was reading her book.

I cannot stress enough how helpful it is when you like a thing that someone created (like, say, a book they wrote) & you TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT.
