It seems to me that you and I essentially agree on this subject. The book is the product, the website/blog is the showcase, but none of that helps without finding some way to get people to look. Social media can help after you get "out there", but it doesn't get you out there. Something else is needed, this nebulous "promotion" which - if there is any secret beyond writing books that are both good and catch the right mood for those picking them up - is the secret many are looking for.

Yes I totally agree with you, but a website/blog is one of many tools an author should use to get his book out there.
