What did you blog about today?

[HareBrain]

JoZebwrites: Promotion - why it's never too early.

I took notes as instructed! (Clicking the "bookmark" button counts as taking notes, yes?)

 

[AnyaKimlin]

LOL I nearly came to plug this great blog on promotion and then remembered it was Jo's. Is it a good sign I forgot it was hers?

It's certainly a good sign you wanted to promote it! Thank you!

I posted the titles of my three planned books. No a lot of interest though :-(

Blogs are a slow build. I would have been lucky to get 27 a couple of years ago. (But what else did you put in it? What would draw people in to read it? Chat about the titles and what they meant? Talk about what makes a good title? For a blog to work you need to give a reason for people to read. Which leaves a person open to a roasting...)

 

[Andrew Lambert]

I was refering to a status update, not a blog D'oh.
I will update my blog now and talk titles.

Due to getting my dates muddled this is nearly two days late:
Severe ME Day - The Forgotten Deaths

 

[AnyaKimlin]

And a bit of a rant:
Opposition About Ten Years too Late to the No2NP Party

Remind me again why I chose a lighthearted title for my blog?

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Just a quickie. I've got my mailing list working, at last, and am starting to use it more seriously. There will be exclusive content to subscribers, information about releases and launches and the like. It will not come out every week and spam you but only when there is news.

JoZebwrites: Mailing lists - and why you might want one.

 

[AnyaKimlin]

I need to work out how to get people to sign up for the newsletter. There's plenty of readers and they seem to be coming back and reading the whole site. I'm not getting anyone to sign up for it.

Anyway it's Wednesday and that means Angus is back.
CHAPTER FOUR PART ONE: A COPPER

No time to check it yet, but the mailing list sounds like a good idea (although I do have the technical aptitude of a potato).

Ah, yes, so do I. I got help.

 

[AnyaKimlin]

Yes I'll be sharing this one with my geek. When he forgets our wedding anniversary at the weekend I'll get him to read all the articles I've saved up.

 

[ratsy]

Jo, I am on the list. Not that I won't know what you have coming out, but I'm still there!

 

[AnyaKimlin]

I wish I knew who Bernice Fischer was - she's just featured Mayhem again (this time with a link) and called it amazing. It really increased my readership. She's been retweeting Inish as well.

Great blog, Jo. And I subscribed too. Not only because I love your writing (that short story at Amazon was really good), but also because I have no concept of this 'mailing list' thing you speak of, and I'm terribly curious how it works.

Got the second part of this week's story up...

Zaragoza Stories - The Mud on Their Shoes, Part Two

 

[crystal haven]

I know a few of my fab mates here are releasing this year (@HareBrain , @crystal haven , @Brian Turner , for instance). I had a few thoughts on promotion and how, if you don't start early, you're missing out

JoZebwrites: Promotion - why it's never too early.

Really interesting read, Jo. Now why have I bruises on my shins, I wonder?
Thank you for the push. Must edit faster - promotion to do!

Started a new serial story.

Thank you so much (on both counts ). I actually have little concept of this mailing thing, either, but I'm sure I'll work it out (e-books will be going out in the morning - I hope you enjoy it.)

I added a newsletter pop-up on my website. www.nathanhystad.com in case any one wants to sign up I won't be sharing a lot on it quite yet, but good to start a base
