Marketing Tip:  Online Newsletters

E-Newsletters: Amy Black has offered some wonderful advice on creating online newsletters.  Free website hosting makes it easy to create an online newsletter. This provides backlinks, search-able content and interaction with your client base. Write about what you know, be diverse to make your audience look forward to your publication. Mine has done a fantastic job of marketing my work.  I have people who honestly look forward to the various sections.  Having this wide variety of subject matter (all of which I am comfortable writing about) broadens my reading base to include book lovers, pet lovers, families, photography students and so much more!  View Article

Schedule Marketing Time ...
I spend 6-weeks creating and 2-weeks marketing. This schedule allows me to create new work, by doing so I'm updating my online stores with new product (great for search engines) and giving myself new content. Search engine submission should be done every 8-weeks, so ...by following a clear schedule you MAKE THE TIME to market. If you don't market your sites, they will be lost in the sea of trillions!
