Marketing Your Writing

March 22, 2013

Marketing Is Not Just For Experts Anymore

If you want to boost your sales and attract more customers, you have to learn how to address them. Even if you don’t know all there is to know about marketing, that is no reason to feel self-conscious. Begin picking up the knowledge that you need from this blog post.

Steer clear of producing content that you do not find interesting. Although there is a lot you can do to improve your writing style and personality, you can’t really command it completely. If you are disinterested in a subject, readers may recognize that through your style or tone. Boring topics won’t be very useful for marketing purposes, as compared to a legitimately interesting topic.

Use keyword searches for article titles. Use free keyword tools to help you figure out a title once you know what you’re article is going to be about. You can then whittle down this list to focus on a few. Glean your title – along with keywords you want to include in your article – from this material.

The title of your article is as important, if not more so, than the content contained inside. Weak or uninteresting titles will not grab visitor attention. Keep your title appropriate and make it lively and personable. The title should appropriately represent the content within.

An enticing title is the best way to draw readers to your article and convince them to read more. There are a lot of articles out there, so getting someone to click on your article out of hundreds is a challenge in itself.

Be sure your article has a title that captures interest right away. You want to draw readers in to your article, and the quickest way to attract attention is by having a heading that piques the interest of those who view it. Consider using a question or a statement with your targeted keyword.

Original content is key to successful article marketing. The big search engines prefer fresh content. There are many writing services who offer cheap content creation, so compare their rates and find a company which can offer you an affordable contract.

You should ask your readers for feedback at the end of your emails. Most consumers enjoy giving input to a business. You can get some great idea from this feedback. Not only are you able to please them, but their ideas can improve your marketing and suit your readers better.

Since you now know the way to advertise properly and present to your customers a product that is appealing, you can begin implementing these techniques to sell whatever you want. Employ the tips that you feel will best help your business.

Journey of a Struggling Writer

July 27, 2011

Do you struggle as a writer?

Putting words on paper that reflect how you feel about a topic or character while maintaining structure and story flow, is a huge challenge.

If you have ever struggled with rewriting that first chapter or scene to make it “perfect,” you know what I’m talking about.

As a writer you know that writing means rewriting

Are you a struggling writer?

So you give your manuscript or screenplay to your best friend or spouse and ask for feedback. Most of the time he or she provides gentle comments, but you’re still not sure if you have a piece of work that will sell. Or in other scenarios, that same friend or loving spouse, not truly understanding the heart of a writer, tells you that your storyline or writing is awful. This is earth-shattering to a writer, believe me.

Maybe you join a critique group, or find a writing partner, or buy more books about writing. You’re always in search of that golden nugget of knowledge that can zing into your heart and convince you that your story is ready to market.

Or perhaps you took a writing class out of desperation to validate that you ARE a writer. Deep in your heart you’ve always wanted the world to read your story.

Every writer needs a writing mentor!

However, through your writing journeys you most likely never had a writing mentor who was there for you throughout the entire writing process–someone who could honestly tell you what was missing or ask you the right questions that would send you back to the keyboard with a renewed passion for your story.
