Instead of being overwhelmed by 89 more things you should be doing, consider tackling just one category per week or month. The categories themselves will help keep you organized...
1. Increase your web presence
2. Build your fan base
3. Cultivate community
4. Make some extra money: (Note her reference to MyBookTable, a WordPress plug-in you can use to sell books and make affiliate money from online book sales.)
Also, on a related topic, Amazon previously refused to keep Illinois authors in their Associates program, where you could earn money by leading people to amazon to buy your book. They have now reached an agreement with Illinois to allow authors back in the program. This would be in addition to what you might do using the MyBookTable plug-in from WordPress, which would allow you to also sell your books directly, not just through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.
Good luck!
