Keeping track of marketing efforts
My book has been out less than a week, and I'm having trouble keeping track of what to check when. I don't want to post a blog, for example, and forget to go back and respond to comments. I have Facebook, Twitter, three blogs, Amazon Author Central, Linked In and Goodreads. I belong to groups on Linked In and Goodreads that I post to.
I am pursuing blog interviews, blog tours, guest spots, book signings, and giveaways.
My question to those of you who have done this: How do you organize it all? Is there some sort of magic spread sheet you use to keep track of what you've posted, when promotions end, when to check back? My pile of sticky notes is not working.

Re: Keeping track of marketing efforts
I launched about 9 months ago. To track a big project with many moving parts -- sometimes I do a table on Word to help manage stuff.
Many of the things you mention can be set so that they shoot you an email when someone responds to a blog. You can set FB to do a notification
when someone responds to a post.
My name is Dwight Okita (aka worldbeat99). I also design websites, book trailers, and blogs.
