Links to All The Marketing Posts - What If You Could Not Fail

Several weeks ago I began a series of blog posts on marketing yourself as a writer. I ran them daily for about a week, and since then I have added more pieces as they have occurred to me.

I find myself referring back to them so often that I have decided to list them all in one blog post. In the future, when I refer to them, I can refer back to this single post.

Here they are:

• Determining Your Marketing Strategy?It is important to know who you are as a writer, what you write, and where you want to go with it. Answering these questions will help you give your marketing a better focus. ?Click here. ?
• The Elevator Speech?Going Up?What if you run into the-really-important-agent at a writer?s conference? You step onto the same elevator. Everyone needs that thirty-second sales pitch that tells folks who they are and what their novel is about. Click here to find out about it.
• Developing an Online Platform?You can influence others through your blog. Click here for a discussion of how to plan your blog.
• Spreading the Word About Your Blog?Just because you get the blog up there does not mean people will visit it. If fact, I can tell you that not many people will visit unless you tell them it is there. Click here for ideas of how to use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn to spread the word. ?
• Coordinated Articles and Public Speaking?Once you get a book published, or maybe even before, there is the possibility someone will ask you to address their writer?s group or book club. Click here and be prepared.

I suspect that as we progress I will find other marketing topics for writers. As I add those pieces, I will add to this post. It is a new world out there for writers. We have to sell ourselves and sell our writing.
