It's called \"Reader Magnets\" by Nick Stephenson. You can find it on Amazon [here.](https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Magnets-Platform-Marketing-Authors-ebook/dp/B00PCKIJ4C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1519102396\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=reader+magnets)\r\n\r\nETA a word I left out.","subreddit_name":"eroticauthors","author":"thelazynovelist"},{"body":"I have a PO Box away from my home from before I started writing, so I use that one. I've seen one or two people say that they just use their home address. I guess it just depends on how comfortable you are with having it out there. The minuscule chance of some deranged person knowing where I live is enough for me to not want to use my home address but maybe I'm being paranoid. Still, I figure better to just pay for a PO Box than have to move to avoid stalker obsessed with me and my beautiful prose.\r\n\r\nPersonally, I haven't seen huge returns from my mailing list--I only have about fifty subscribers so far. But from everything I hear and read they are an enormous resource and one of the few things you should definitely have. \r\n\r\nI mean, imagine being able to email a group of people who are specifically interested in your work every time you release a title--and then get a bunch of sales from them, and then get the boost in rank for you book that they would give. \r\n\r\nI wouldn't let not having a mailing list keep you from publishing--if it is. But I'd say it's worth setting up. Check out [*Reader Magnets*](https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Magnets-Platform-Marketing-Authors-ebook/dp/B00PCKIJ4C/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1521148151\u0026amp;sr=1-2\u0026amp;keywords=reader+magnets). It's free on Amazon and it sells the importance of a mailing list better than I could. \r\n\r\nA PO Box is definitely an expense, but if you're planning on doing this as a business--as a career--rather than I hobby, I'd say basically: suck it up, if at all possible. It's just one of those things you need to spend money on. Lol, I feel like my dad saying, \"suck it up.\" \r\n\r\n","subreddit_name":"eroticauthors","author":"SklavosChara"},{"body":"Check out the free Amazon Book[Reader Magnets by Nick Stephenson](http://www.amazon.com/Reader-Magnets-Platform-Marketing-Authors-ebook/dp/B00PCKIJ4C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1422825899\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=reader+magnets\u0026amp;pebp=1422825903985\u0026amp;peasin=B00PCKIJ4C)He pretty much explains how to do this step-by-step, using a free book as the reward to opt-in.","subreddit_name":"selfpublish","author":"Lcthulou"},{"body":"Great functional marketing detailed insights and tips in this FREE ebook!\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PCKIJ4C\r\nSummary: Networking, brand building, FOMO, and value-add marketing.","subreddit_name":"writing","author":"TaggM"},{"body":"You should just check his out:\r\n\r\n [https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Magnets-Platform-Marketing-Authors-ebook/dp/B00PCKIJ4C](https://www.amazon.com/Reader-Magnets-Platform-Marketing-Authors-ebook/dp/B00PCKIJ4C)","subreddit_name":"writing","author":"HAHA_Aku_HAHA"}]}
