Marketing on a Budget

Was Thinking
With my first anthology out (Chilling Tales) and a novel due this fall (Ancestral Magic) I’ve been giving a great deal of thought to the idea of marketing. Being with a small publisher, a lot of the promotion lands on my shoulders, and not having a ton of extra cash to spare, I have to be frugal with the marketing tools I use. Some of these I have been working on for quite some time, whole others are new tools since the anthologies release or resources geared to the novel as its date of availability get closer. Whereas any artist can use these tool to promote themselves, as a writer I will mostly be focusing on that aspect.

The internet itself is a great tool to give your work widespread attention. There are no gas or plane fares to dig into your pocket book, you simply have the world at your fingertips. What you do with this connection is up to you. Here are some suggestions.

Also, as part of this special event there are some other authors doing workshop on their blogs worth checking out.

Sandra Barret is doing “Worldbuilding with a Wiki” Tuesday, July 29, 2008 ([info]sbarret). Jove Belle is doing a not to miss workshop on “Brainstorming” Thursday, July 31, 2008, And the magnificent Larkin Rose is doing a piece called “Hitting the Wall” on the subject of Writer's Block Saturday, Aug 2, 2008

I found some great articles at a blog I just discovered, Revellian Dot Com, about making your articles search engine friendly, using SEO keywords, and how to provide traffic for others. I found these a great resource to teach me ways to increase blog traffic based on tactics I can use when writing my articles, as well as being able to help other good blogs get noticed. How cool is that? Here’s some clips to give you a taste.
