But actually, in today&#8217;s  market, it&#8217;s essential that the author understand how to engage their  audience directly. Once you know who your audience is and how they want  to be communicated to, you&#8217;ll be able to connect with them in just the  right ways so that your sales numbers will increase.<\/span><!--more--><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/> <br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">So the question to ask is <\/span><em style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">who is your readership?<\/em><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\"> Be specific. know such details as:<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">\n<li>gender<\/li>\n<li>age<\/li>\n<li>where they live<\/li>\n<li>education level<\/li>\n<li>socio-economic status<\/li>\n<li>jobs held<\/li>\n<li>reason for reading your type of books, and reading in general<\/li>\n<li>what else they read (other books, magazines, sites, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>beliefs about life, love, family, religion<\/li>\n<li>what they really want out of life<\/li>\n<li>favorite vacation spots<\/li>\n<li>and more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><em style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">How do you go about finding such information?<\/em><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\"> &#8212; Ask them! If you&#8217;re an as yet unpublished, ask your early readers.  Young women in their late teens and early 20s respond with great  interest when I share tidbits about a paranormal YA I&#8217;m working on. For  the published authors, you can run surveys on your site using services  like <\/span><a style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.surveymonkey.com<\/a><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">, which has an easy-to-use free version, and you can ask your readers at book signings, and the like.<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/> <br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\"> &#8212; Other ways and places to find your readers and make some educated guesses about who your audience is:<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">\n<li>lurk  in bookstores and libraries, book sections of supermarkets, Target etc.  Watch who picks up books like yours. Watch them. Use your people  watching skills to fill out the details listed above.<\/li>\n<li>go to book reviewer sites. here&#8217;s a list of a few I&#8217;ve gathered, collected in a twitter list: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/bethbookcoach\/book-reviewers\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/bethbookcoach\/book-reviewers<\/a><\/li>\n<li> talk to your librarian<\/li>\n<li>talk to your independent booksellers<\/li>\n<li>book review sites. Here&#8217;s a few: <a href=\"http:\/\/sirenbookreviews.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/sirenbookreviews.blogspot.com\/<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com\/<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.likesbooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.likesbooks.com\/<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/dearauthor.com\/wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/dearauthor.com\/wordpress\/<\/a>. I did a search for &#8220;romance book review blogs&#8221; and came up with a huge list, of which the 4 listed here are just a few.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">As to answering the question on <em>how they want to be communicated to<\/em>, I mean, really how do they want to stay informed about your upcoming releases, book signing, etc?<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\"> &#8212; the best answer to this is give them <strong>choices<\/strong>.  Connecting with you via Facebook, Twitter, a newsletter, a blog, are  all options that different readers may take. Notice which of these  mediums has or gets the largest numbers, and use that as your primary  funnel, with everything else acting as a support. Or, you can duplicate the same content across multiple channels.<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/> <br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">For example, Eloisa James (<\/span><a style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eloisajames.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.eloisajames.com\/contact.php<\/a><span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">)  encourages contact with her in a lot of different ways: a newsletter  for book releases; a forum for avid fans; a Facebook Fan page, and  Newsflashes, which is actually her RSS feed. I like that: Newsflashes! I  enjoyed reading Eloisa&#8217;s FB posts, especially the ones about her  European summer, though everything she posts is fun! I notice that  Eloisa offers different information via different channels. Her web  design team probably has tested out a lot of different ways, or just  made educated guesses, about what kind of readers want what kind of  content. If you&#8217;re like me, and you want nibbles, FB or her Newsflashes  are good. If you absolutely need to know when her next book releases  are, her newsletter is good. If you need to be talking about her books  with others, probably her forum and her FB fan page are best for that.<\/span> <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">Wow!<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/> <br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/> <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">HOMEWORK<\/span><br style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\" \/> <span style=\"font-family: verdana,sans-serif;\">1.
