Web Savvy Publicity and Marketing for Authors and Experts
As I was writing a Facebook Custom Page Tutorial, I stumbled across an excellent blog that covers the process. Step-by-step. No need for me to re-invent the wheel.
Enjoy! And if you need help, drop me a line.

Once you walk through the process, send me a link to your page, I’d love to see it.
1. Free online tool to research available domain names and spin ideas: http://www.domainsbot.com/
2. Purchase domain (URL) at GoDaddy.com
Godaddy is an inexpensive and reputable business for your domain purchases. Perfect in fact. Domain registrars are not the place to host your website or purchase additional features. I know it seems tempting to put all of your eggs in one basket but this really isn’t the easiest or right solution. I also never recommend hosting your website on your webmasters account.
3. My Top Pick for Web Hosting: Purchase web hosting from BlueHost
If you need in-depth help with any of these steps or providers feel free to contact me. I’d love to hear from you.

I just came across another new website that has journalists on Twitter listed by publication and beat. The owner of the website just announced that they will be adding freelance journalists soon.
Wondering why you need to follow media? See my previous blog post for web savvy ideas on using Twitter as part of your publicity plan for authors.
