The Marketing of Marketing

The Marketing of Marketing

  For anyone trying establish themselves as a writer and if you hang in there long enough, you soon find the marketing of your works a daunting task. The marketing of your works has been subdivided into many parts. Each of these parts has in-depth ways of accomplishing the differing aspects of that particular part. I will not list them here as anyone can perform an online search and find the suggestions available. 

It has created an industry within itself where you can spend a lot for the latest sure-fire methods that will work for you as long as you follow the steps. I would be curious to see an analysis done on those that have purchased the marketing products just to see how many actually succeeded. I hear what you’re thinking; we already know the answer, probably few.

Most writers are looking for ideas that work for them. What may work for you might not work for me. We are after all, different in many ways. General methods seem to work generally. If that gives you the big recognition, the big break, then fantastic.

I find it interesting to read about an author who had done little marketing and somehow receives attention. Their sales begin to take off. Now how did they do it is the question I have on my mind.

Did they write on a topic that is of interest at the time?

Was it the style of their writing?

Was their cover eye catching?

Or do you chalk it up to being in the right place at the right time. No easy answer to that question.

  Here is my questions regarding being a successful writer.

1. How many words in total does one have to write in order to become a good writer?

2. How many books does one write before being noticed?

Keep smiling.
