Holed up in our home in Maryland, I’ve been working on promoting my new book and related ideas in various ways. In the process I am learning a lot and making some progress.
I have started a YouTube channel, and recorded two new videos. One was a take off on my blog post about what our civilization needs to do after this crisis passed, and another was about one of the 214 lessons in my new book related to working in nonprofit coalitions.
Advisers including my friend Donna Nelson and brother Michael Counts have helped me improve the production quality of my videos – you should see the improvement since my first one, about the lesson from which the book gets its title.
I did a virtual webinar (author talk) on my books hosted by SIPA at Columbia University, and am doing another one next Tuesday (organized by some friends in India) that is timed for people who are in Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is certainly different than presenting to people in person, but I am warming up to this remote means of sharing the ideas in my books.
The result of all this? I am pleased to report that my new book is now a #1 new release best seller on Amazon (see below). And the first online review has been posted too.
I welcome ideas about how to build on some of these efforts and promote the books generally.
