Friday Five/Marketing Round Up (3/12)

Hi guys!

Here are my favorite marketing posts for the week:

Audience Development - Many people say focus on your craft first. This view can set up writers for disappointment and failure if/when they do get published. Here are some myths to consider.

Sell Ideas - Why should you learn how to sell ideas? Can’t you just write and let the ideas sell themselves? It’d be nice, but in most cases you can’t.

Marketing Your Writing series - Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Marketing your writing is essential if you want your work to be read by a wide audience.

The Texas Sweethearts - P.J., Jessica, and Jo are reporting in with Shrinking Violet readers on their newest venture, a group blog.

Connecting to Young Readers in Social Media - Since 93 percent of teens are accessing the Internet, getting the word out online is key to obtaining bestselling readership numbers. There’s only one problem: unless you’re already a well-known YA author, teens aren’t going to come to you.

7 Reasons why writers need to use video - Here’s why you should seriously consider getting your face, and your books on screen.

Have great weekend :)
