Here are a few helpful (random and sundry) resources for authors I've run across on the Web recently.
First, from Joe Konrath's blog, a quick guide to monetizing your online content. Covers everything from publishing ebooks to the Amazon Associates program.
Also, a Kindle self-publishing guide presented here for what it's worth. (A fine overview of some of the basic information, though I thought the Kindle self-publishing PPT slideshow was of minimal assistance. Even so, complete newbies may find some of the links helpful.)
In addition, authors can find opportunities to promote themselves by acting as blog tour hosts, running book reviews, posting interviews, holding contests and so forth. Author AdvenTours is a site where bloggers can sign up to host tours and otherwise promote authors. An arrangement that can be mutually beneficial, in my opinion.
Further, talk about an author who already has a platform. (Okay, not such a helpful resource. Just something to lighten the mood.)
Finally, a list of "the best literary agents on Twitter" (at least, according to the headline). Why are they the best? I dunno. Because they said so?
