Hi all. Wanted to pose two quick questions, which I'll elaborate on a bit below. The first concerns the logistics and pitfalls of hiring someone to manage your online marketing campaign. The second is about breaking through with Nook readers.

On the campaign issue, I am a professional writer who unfortunately has to spend my day writing for others. However I'm considering hiring someone who can help manage the social media marketing and Adword campaigns for my ebook. Naturally this sounds like potential quicksand of trouble.
Any insights? Horror stories? Happy endings?

The second matter involves finding the appropriate Nook forums to promote my book. While sales started off great at Amazon, not a single sale registered at B&N. It seemed odd that the same title would sell over 25 in one month, and zero elsewhere.

By the way, my book is a self help guides for parents of boomerang kids, helping to steer them out into independence. That means I tend to get better response at forums/sites with a non-fiction community.

I guess I'm looking for the best avenues of approach to reach those Nook readers.

Many thanks...
