I always enjoy articles that break action into steps. Winning a New York book consultation would top off the pleasure of visiting “Bad Redhead Media.”
ReplyYou had me at #hashtags! Never thought about the writing piece – I do lots of hashtags from my artist profile on Instagram…I can see this expanding my reach easily and driving more traffic to my Medium site. Interested in how I can blend my fiction/nonfiction lives – right now it’s mostly nonfiction.
ReplyJenn,
I’m not in the place for a consultation, but I have to tell you this is one of the best #NaNoProMo posts I have read. Your post makes everything appear less overwhelming, and everything you list is doable. You covered many issues that I spend too much time fretting over. And I would be remiss if I did not laud your resources as extremely useful. Where has Rachel been hiding you?
Thank you for your terrific #NaNoProMo post.
Sincerely,
Donna
Thanks for this great reminder that although “marketing” seems daunting, there are lots of tiny pieces that we can feel good about accomplishing.
ReplyThis was such a helpful post full of great suggestions! And by breaking it down, it feels so much easier to accomplish. I would love to win the consultation; I have my first 2 romance novels coming out this fall and I feel I could learn so much from a consultation from experts.
ReplyThis is a great list of action items to show authors that marketing can be an easy part of their weekly activities. Very practical.
ReplyThanks for sharing this! It’s true-there’s so much to do it’s easy to become overwhelmed and then nothing gets done. There are several items on this list I’m going to spend time on. Thanks for the lists of keywords, blog ideas, newsletter incentives. Very much appreciated! 😉

ReplyLove the simple steps – I actually did a couple as I was reading. 🙂 It really can seem daunting at times, as you said. Great post and I would love to win the consultation so I can learn more!
ReplyHey Rachel,
Some great new ideas for marketing yourself as an author. While I am still definitely in the editing/querying stage of my writing career it would be great to talk with a marketing expert to refine where I have gaps in my strategy.
ReplyGreat tips! When broken down into little tasks book marketing is much more manageable and less daunting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyThis is a great article that I’m saving. I know I have been doing my marketing wrong & would love to change it. And, I realize, it’s because of that very reason cited in the first paragraph. It’s overwhelming to me, so I keep pushing it for later. Thank you for giving me that one thing I couldn’t fathom, breaking it down into more manageable chunks.
ReplyThanks so much for an article that makes marketing less intimidating You’re absolutely correct, it’s a lot easier to ward off discouragement by breaking down each goal into a series of smaller and readily achievable tasks. The lists and downloads offer a good way to get started. I’m sure a lot of readers will benefit from them.
Thanks again,
Dana Lemaster
Well… I got a couple of things on that list but there are plenty more to work on. Thanks for the reminders!
ReplyWhew! This is a great list. I feel as though I do many of these things already (sneaking them in on lunch breaks and such) but I’ll confess, my eyes glazed over at stuff like assessing analytics and such. And while I love writing blog posts, I’m pants at commenting on others most of the time. So you’ve given me some good things to think about and work on–thanks!
