Valid points. I try to do at least one con or writer event each year. Working full time makes it hard to do very many. It is hard on us introverts to get in front of people but I’ve learned to plan for some down time after the bigger events to recharge.
ReplyI love all these tips and they are all valid points, I think confidence is a huge part to play in being able to accomplish some of these. x
ReplyGreat advice! I’m yet to test these waters, but I’m practising by attending podcasts and soon a live radio interview.
ReplyRachel and Blaise, thanks for a well-timed reminder that we can’t do it all online. Conventions and festivals are difficult for me due to health issues, but the other options you mention are certainly doable. Time to get creative!
ReplyI love going to live events, especially conventions. I get so much out of meeting people face-to-face and putting a face to a name I’ve interacted with online. There’s nothing like meeting someone in person to deepen that connection!
I do have to factor it into the budget. At this point, live events don’t net me a high ROI in sales, but there is immeasurable value in them just the same.
ReplyGreat advice on book marks and business cards. I will add that to my to-do list.
ReplyI love the list of offline ideas – some really clever things in there.
