Or maybe you saw, read . . . ?
This may well be a senseless post to those under 40, but I’m gonna do it anyway.
We know that a mailing list is important—a must—if we want to sell ourselves as writers (or anything else).
Another must self-promotion tool: social media. And I will personally attest to this: it works. Period.
One bit of advice: every social media platform has a different audience—with different focuses and interests. Determine which ones best suit your needs/goals.
I’d recommend not spreading yourself too thin, at least not in the beginning when you’re starting to market yourself as a writer or blogger. Focus on a couple only and learn everything you can about them—use them to the fullest. My first choices (and not necessarily yours): Facebook and Twitter.
Get involved with social media groups that have interests similar to yours. They can provide lots of guidance and support. If you haven’t already discovered how easy it is to attract viewers/followers, do so now; there’s tons of information and advice to be found and absorbed. Run with it.
As the [paraphrased] saying goes: you’re only as limited as the limitations you place on yourself. Faith, support, and creativity know no bounds. Either should you.
