How to Have Online Impact

Once you have a book, opportunities arise. You can write articles for online sites, magazines, newspapers. The more articles you have published, the more it will increase your profile, the more it will solidify you expertise.

coloured-social-media-icons-roundThe internet is a powerful networking and marketing tool. As we all know, anything posted on the internet is permanent. So having a great online profile is nonofficial. Once your book is published, you will be listed on various outlets. You may be surprised at who contacts you in regards to your expertise. TV producers still reach out to me for dating related advice, even though it is no longer my main field of business.

Set up your future connections with a strong online presence.

Writer Meet-up Groups

writers-group1Every book needs an editor. You need a different pair of eyes reading your words. When you are the one writing, you are too involved in the process. You need another person looking at the content with a fresh mind to see if the story runs smoothly. Does it make sense or did you leave out gaps of information that confuses the reader? And, of course, spelling and grammar also need to be reviewed. But how do you do that without an intern – or a big budget? Have no fear! That’s why writer meet-ups were invented! And yes, they really exist.

The more eyes you have looking at your work the better. There are many writer meet-up groups. I’ve seen some in my local area where it’s just for people reviewing other people’s work. Usually, it’s free. Utilize all of your resources!

Join Richter Publishing’s Meet-up here!
