GETTING YOUR IMAGE TO SHOW UP

 
If you've spent any time reading articles on blogs, you may have noticed that when some people leave comments, their image is featured along with their comment.

This is called a "gravatar" and is easy to set up. To get your image to appear when you leave comments on blogs head over to www.Gravatar.com. Register for this no-cost service, with the email address you will use when you register to post comments on someone's blog. Next, upload a headshot photograph of you and link it to your email address. Then, go to a blog post and share a comment, and watch your image appear.

The reason you want to upload a photograph of you versus a picture of your book is, people connect with people, not marketing images. To create more engagement on the Internet, you want to communicate as "you" the author!

So, here again is where you go to set up your free Gravatar account: www.Gravatar.com
