10. Promote Book
Ways to share the work:
-spread the word about the project first to;
friends, friends of friends, ever-widening circles of appreciators
Finding an audience who can appreciate it
-Live & Virtual Events (live reads, public readings, book signings)
-Being a guest on podcasts
-Letters & Emails Texts & Calls
-Social Media (YouTube, FaceBook, Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter)
-Conventional Press (News articles, Interviews, magazines, newspapers, TV)
-Paid promotion (flyers, cards, billboards)
This is the part that can be difficult for content creators, writers, artists, and other creative people.
Marketing and promoting is a completely different type of work than creating.
I suggest we do our best to embrace this part as a challenge and try to find ways to make it more creatively inspiring.
If we can figure out ways to make this unfamiliar part feel more familiar, we will be more successful as well as it being more satisfying.
Using our artistically inclined brains to design ways to share the work can help it feel more natural.
