WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Whether you're working with a traditional publisher or going the independent route, knowing how to find and keep your readers is critical to the long-term success of your career.
Audience development is what people in business call it, but it boils down to one thing: building meaningful relationships with people who are interested in what you do. It's a skill that's more valuable than ever for you to understand and practice, as authors are increasingly called upon to market and promote themselves. This session will discuss both online and offline strategies for identifying and engaging readership, as well as tools such as websites and blogs, social media, e-mail newsletters, and content marketing.
Even if you're unpublished, you can stand to benefit from this session. Why? Because you're probably already engaging in audience development right now if you're using social media or talking about your creative work. Audience development activities are becoming integrated into daily life. Fortunately, we live in an age when the tools to reach your audience are free, easy to use, and come with a short learning curve.
Educate yourself in advance, build your audience over time, and you'll see your investment of time and energy pay off over the span of your career.
